So, Rod Liddle is dead. Meh. A deeply unpleasant and prejudiced man with no redeeming qualities. And then there was this...

Personal life

Liddle met Rachel Royce, a television presenter, at the BBC in 1993, and the couple soon became romantically involved.[83] In January 2004 the couple married at a ceremony in Malaysia. They had been living in Heytesbury, Wiltshire, and had two sons together, Tyler and Wilder.[83] Six months later, Liddle moved in with Alicia Monckton, a 22-year-old receptionist at The Spectator. It transpired that he had cut short his honeymoon with Royce so that he could be with Monckton.[83] Following their divorce, Liddle and Royce exchanged attacks in the media. Liddle called her a "total slut and slattern",[84] and Royce wrote an article in the Daily Mail titled "My cheating husband Rod, 10 bags of manure and me the bunny boiler. As for The Slapper... she's welcome to him".[85][86] This incident was referred to by Irish sports journalist Eamon Dunphy on RTÉ during the analysis of the champions league, where when an opposing view was put to him he responded:

"I'll tell you who wrote it, I can remember his name. Rod Liddle. He's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one." The quote is widely regarded as one of the famous moments in Irish television history.[87][88][89][90]

On 5 May 2005, he was arrested for common assault against Monckton, who was 20 weeks pregnant at the time. He admitted the offence and accepted a police caution, but asserted later that he did so only because it was the quickest way for him to be released, and that he had not assaulted her.[91] The couple's daughter, Emmeline, named after the suffragette, Emmeline Pankhurst, was born in October 2005.[32]

Hydration break. Sanding a new IKEA sofa bed. It's 35 in the sun but way cooler sitting under the big oak with a nice cooling breeze.

Was there really any need to write this on a bus? For one thing, how much did this (presumably rush) job cost? For another, is writing things on the sides of buses a very popular move after 2016? And don't get me fucking started on where the money's coming from.

Well, we've been in this house for almost 16 years and this is the first year we've had established trees and bushes dying. In particular, two of our apple trees - both good fruiters and part of our small corner of the countryside - are looking as if it's autumn. I just hope they survive.

Getting Carlin vibes from this. Was this one of his lines?

Interesting how little commentary there seems to have been about Brexit/EU in all the recent Burnham brouhaha, not to mention immigration, in view of Mahmood's continuing and deeply disappointing tenure as Home Sec. Do we now have two elephants in the fucking room?

I dislike Mahmood intensely, but I dislike the mindset that she appeals to even more. Why Burnham thinks keeping her in post is going to be any more popular with Labour MPs than Starmer appointing her in the first place is beyond me. Not a good start to Burnham's premiership.

Well, Mahmood stays on as Home Sec. More performative cruelty to appease all those right wing voters who Labour will never attract.
