The middle brother. Just me and Paul left now.
Playing Marvin Gaye at a decent volume, his absolute favourite. Got to see him one last time, told him I loved him.
I'm unmoored. Not looking for condolences. Just putting down a marker.
Tell someone you love them. x
Wow, lack of self-awareness of the highest order.
One of the stories of British politics over last 15 years has been Conservatives and Labour valuing narrower and narrower ideological coherence over their historic, broad coalitions and then being astonished that their vote shares keep falling.

Important to remember that the British public is actively being misinformed on this issue.
Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?
Notable in today's YouGov that the centre/left bloc - Lab/Green/LD/SNP are on 54%. With Reform/Tories on 43%. That's the biggest differential in a long time.
I think useful to track blocs given instability between parties at the moment.
Jeez, once upon a time this guy was just another right wing nut job. Turns out no one’s safe. Who knew?

Can we have lessons for all the adults too?
Not sure why Reform are up in arms about 16 and 17 year olds voting. They put this 18 year old in charge of a £2bn council, which is pretty irresponsible if they thought he couldn’t even be trusted to vote a few months ago.
Sitwell was Rees-Mogg’s best man. 🤷♂️

Generally in favour. But I have been given pause for thought by some of the arguments against.
Funny how Twitter squeezed all the fun out of life. Haven’t been able to sum up their energy to engage with this platform properly yet.

Is that still going on? Been forever!
this quote is basically as close as I'll ever get to a religious text, I always reread it in the way I assume some read the bible
Great Escape, surely? 😁
Did someone say…
Happy Threads Day! 😱
I stand with Rog. 😂✊

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.”
The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out
As we’ve seen in recent history, the Tories need to get through at least two, if not three right wing nutty leaders before tacking to the centre.
Agree but don’t see SNP ever returning to the political force they have been for last 15 years.
Is it still January? Asking for a friend.
We can share him. ♥️
Gutted. End of an era.
Manchester United and Scotland legend, dies aged 84
a friend just introduced me to this performance of Take on Me & I'm weepy from it so now must make you weepy from it
Back in Fig and Sparrow for caffeine and sugar boost.
Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.
