There is actual rain - puddles and everything. Trying to figure out what I've left outside, which is currently being ruined by this strange event.

Gawd bless the Victorians and their gravestone tidying antics. No, these are not the locations in which these people were originally buried!

Fort Walk around St Helens Fort this morning. You walk out from St Helens Old Church when there's a low tide around 0.6m for Bembridge Approaches, then you walk around the fort on a ledge Start the walk 30 minutes before low tide and don't hang around. Great experience, will repeat again

Checkmate, Nige.

I came first in the Clacton by-election! Of the candidates who bothered to turn up for the results. Here is my victory speech!

Farage’s “landslide” was 62.8% on just 44.37% turnout. That means only about 28% of eligible voters in Clacton actually voted for him. A win? Yes. A sweeping mandate? Not remotely. #Farage #Clacton #ReformUK #UKPolitics

Bring on the investigation. He already looks like a lying petulant child.

Nigel Farage has won Clacton by-election, which was boycotted by other major Westminster parties 
The contest was triggered when the Reform UK leader resigned as an MP while under investigation for £5m gift he didn't declare Now he’s been re-elected, that parliamentary investigation will resume

Who knows what I'm doing here, you utter reprobates?

What the actual?

BWM cars now showing owners and unskippable ad for the new Spider Man Film whenever they start the vehicle. This shit needs to become illegal, yesterday, else how long before you have to watch it *before* you can start the vehicle.

Rod Liddle spent a lot of his time being bafflingly horrible, abusive and cruel to people. That has ended now.

If your threshold for trust is someone who claimed charity rowers were "illegal immigrants", stated there was only "one murder" at the Dunblane massacre, and who has faced allegations of threatening, bullying and financially suspect behaviour, you might want to take your threshold in for a service.

Outstanding work from the 22KW charger 🤦 Time to head to a rapid to be let down there 🙄

Insurers need to stop asking everyone for their history. You have this on the MIB database. Present the data you have and ask us to verify the data. There's enough information we all need to carry around in our lives. The dates of accidents and convictions, held centrally should not be included

Just back from a midnight swim. Ambient at the beach still 25. Unreal weather. Swim excellent. Moonbathed afterwards.

How does a 'no-tech' tractor meet emissions standards in 2026? I can probably find out, as I'm very curious about this. John Deere's position on repair-ability is reprehensible as is that of various car makers, who limit access to their systems (looking at you, Stellantis).

A company that makes a no-tech, repairable tractor is having trouble keeping up with demand from farmers sick of John Deere's repair monopoly and simply want a tractor that turns on and works: www.404media.co/demand-is-bo...

“Exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division would be wrong in any circumstances but to do it when the family are expressly saying please don’t is unforgivable. It shows exactly who he is” Keir Starmer responds to Nigel Farage at #PMQs

So Nigel Farage, was this the response you were looking for? It doesn’t take away from the fact that you’re a money laundering scum bag, it just adds to it. You despicable vile human being.

Not many people know but Paul Simenon of The Clash invented time travel and the picture on the cover of London Calling is him trying to destroy his guitar in the hope of stopping Will Smith from sampling them on his track Will2k. #totp

"Trump’s personal wealth has increased 165 per cent during his presidency. To say he has not delivered in the same way for the people who voted for him would be the understatement of the century. Americans hired Trump to grow the economy and cut inflation. He is managing the opposite."

Americans are waking up to Trump’s money grabbing. They won’t forgive him

Trump’s second presidency is working out brilliantly for the Trump family, and for almost no one else

Oh wow - a corporate kangaroo court, to distribute $1.776bn to the very wealthy.

This should be the headline story on every news publication and telecast including local news every day for several days. But it won’t. It will be shrugged off like so much else by so much of media. The most corrupt thing that has ever come out of the US govt.

If you're opposed to this explain why.

This needs to happen. Otherwise it will become a forgotten blip among the other ridiculous things he says.

Just to remind you, Starmer is still PM. Cheers 👍

Grandparents who fought in WW2 and who will deliver an ass-kicking for any kind of Nazi talk.
