An occasional series of what my Garmin watch is saying after my #HeartBypass.

Started wearing it again about 2 weeks after the op. The watch is basically going “Dude! WTF?”

I need more rest and seem permanently stressed? Ya think? My resting heart rate is higher. Really?

If I were the Venezuelan government, I’d have my intelligence services get hold of all the Epstein files and let it be known that they would be released in full in the event of any attack

The danger is also that people will look at this and think "Can RefUK be worse?"

The answer of course is yes, they can and will but most people won't see that until it's too late.

Trying to outdo the Nasty parties in nastiness is a vote loser not a vote winner. I wish Labour would understand that.
This is the politics of blackmail. The alternative is not a Reform government. The alternative is maintaining our international commitments to being a compassionate nation

Sweden is one of the least dense countries in Europe, with a healthy population and many people living by themselves. Note the carefully selected 2020-2024. Sweden had huge mortality at the start, compared to our neighbours. Note too "all cause excess death" metric cherry picking. Jay's at it again

I was suspended right before the Epstein emails were released. If the BlueSky search engine works, you will find a wealth of posts from me about the people in those emails, who I wrote about in my books HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT and THEY KNEW. This is the work I feared would be erased on Twitter.

Bigger picture of Labour's tax shenanigans is to delay once again, possibly beyond the next election, the point at which UK politics makes some attempt to compromise with reality.
