It's called getting older

My wife and I can at least joke about what's going to annoy me today

Yesterday it was the NHS exit feedback webpage

Who knows what today will bring?

Like there's a job in the BBC to actively ask 'What could we headline today to stoke anti-asylum seeker anger'

Then frame it as 'balance' by having you on when the real problem was *their choice* to boost what they usually ignore: minor public spending housekeeping

Very grateful to the good people of Kent for choosing to experience a Reform administration, so that the rest of us can vote, thus fully informed, not to
