If you like crime, mysteries or period drama, Toward Zero on player is great and the costumes and makeup are sublime

HAVE YOU BEEN

This is the kind of energy I bring to public speaking events btw

He knew how to do a corridor, mind

Views amazing, gardens lovely, lovely walk though wider estate but still scandalised by the absolute psychological disconnect between "castle" and "whatever this is"

What an absolutely bonkers bit that place is

Look maybe hes not as forensic as first thought, perhaps he's not as across the detail or even as big in to accountability and trust as expected but despite this he's also not very good

Not to get all architectural up in your grill but Castle Drogo??

Suspect blaming Olly Robbins and the Foreign Office will not end well for Starmer.

Final point, it should not go underappreciated how consistently these men overlooked the abuse of women by their associates.

A rotten, misogynistic culture.

The idea that you need to send corrupt sociopaths as Ambassadors to DC is so funny, because it's a standard we have never applied anywhere.

We don't appoint corrupt gangsters to embassies in Moscow or religious fanatics to Tehran.

Also, Mamdani is able to handle Trump fine without becoming him.

Found this book we had as a kid in a second hand bookshop and it is so gloriously 80s I am so excited to pivot purely to retro cake content

they should allow smartphones in schools but ban children

[Boxing Day] I know I asked for this megadrive, but ill guess ill just wait for you to tell me if there are any games to play on it

We have to buy:
- Starmer wanted Mandelson irrespective of his well known associations and risks
- he wanted him so bad he announced it before he'd been vetted, in spite of above
- despite wanting him *that badly* he then just completely lost interest in whole thing & never asked about progress

A total ban on phones in schools is a completely batshit, over the top, policy which shows, yet again, how out of touch Labour is with the reality of many people's lives. This will be totally unworkable for many people, including young carers as mentioned below. #r4today

Will never forget when my phone was confiscated at secondary school because I got a phone call telling me a family member was in the hospital, and this meant I had caring responsibilities. Told them and school still insisted on taking it off me even though I needed to, you know, do that caring.

"Its gonna be box office" is wendy deng gonna smack olly robbins about because thats where the bar is set

Business idea: Pay Per View Select Committees

It's going to be even worse the next time they appoint Peter Mandelson

Over on insta I have one pal who sends me only architecture memes and another who sends only political content if I needed confirmation of how two dimensional I am

the penne opticon
