I actually agree with some of what Tim Stanley says on BBCQT

Interest rate claxon. 100% certainty of a base rate rise to 4.00% on Thursday. 99.8% probability of a further rise to (at least) 4.25% in February.
I’m old enough to remember JP and @thenotoriousguy.bsky.social warning about the dangers of “the internet of things”. I have very little of my stuff connected to the internet. Supermarket freezers in Belgium, Sweden and Luxembourg hit by suspected cyber-attack www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This has to be one for @mrjamesob.bsky.social to unpick tomorrow. How one goes from a minor cog in the leave campaign to actively advocating for the return of the death penalty for the Reform Party. I mean, JFC.
I really hope @mrjamesob.bsky.social is listening to the Nick Ferrari interview with Suella Braveman where she said she was writing a book about “my struggle”.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social the Burnham Optimism Barometer is going to tick up after this speech.
I now know WAY more about meningitis that I did 36 hours ago. Thankfully eldest was discharged with viral, rather than the deadly bacterial, meningitis earlier this evening. All brought on with a holy cluster fuck of Covid, the flu and rhinovirus all the same time. 🤧
. @mrjamesob.bsky.social it’s a long listen, but well worth it to understand the historic relationship between Wales and England. If you have time, I implore you listen to it all. The listening is made easier by the fact the lecture is delivered by Michael Sheen. m.youtube.com/watch?v=bbVd...

Outside of the Bluesky echo chamber, this new cabinet (Milliband aside) is being responded to reasonably positively.
Thanks Nigel, you CUNT. Madrid airport. The EU citizen queue was non existent.
We’ve all been told to go home now to avoid the expected trouble that will come to Oxford because of Ickle Tommy Ten Names and his band of merry gammons. I’m torn on this. On the one hand rabble rousers like the vertically challenged key sniffer should subject to humiliating public dressing down
Just realised I have 6 more times of getting up and having breakfast with one of my children before they go to school 😭😭😭
Caroline is spot on here. But some of the comments are like the like the puritanical, childish, GCSE politics student thinking we saw with Magic Grandpa that led to a Johnson government.
Caroline Lucas@carolinelucas.bsky.social · 6mo agoI hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter the dire threat of a Reform UK government elected on a minority of the vote
Wes, you silly cunt. I said “DON’T” be a cunt, not “DO” be a cunt.
@timmycb5.bsky.social · 6mo agoDear Wes, please don’t be a cunt. Yours, Sensible people who don’t want chaos.

Well, I hope Catherine West, whoever the fuck she actually is, is pleased with the deal financial pain she has caused the entire UK with higher interest rate and borrowing costs as a result of her wanting 15 seconds of fame.
Breaking news. Forgot my trainers for the gym, and have opted for no shoes, rather than leather work shoes as the safer play.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social pertinent to your current conversation, I’ve recently discovered a new band who have written a beautiful but sad song about losing a loved one to addiction. It’s called “au pays du cocaine” by Geese. Give it a listen.
Interesting flight path for this Abu Dhabi to Cairo, which should be west north west. Not due north directly into Iran, followed by a quick 180, then what appears to be evasive manoeuvres before hot footing it back to Ab Dab to be held in a stack 🤔
As of today, all of my children are now adults. How did that happen???
Introduce yourself as what almost killed you: Hello, I’m a patch of sheet ice that I hit at approximately 70mph on a black slope in Zell am See when I was 14 (with no helmet on). My bindings froze solid and I ended up in the krankenhaus for weeks with multiple fractures. I still ski.
sjcp@sjcp1962.bsky.social · 10mo agoIntroduce yourself as what almost killed you: Hello, I’m sj’s first husband. I was violent and terrorised her while we were together then stalked her when she left me. I was arrested when my father reported to police that I was going after her with a gun.
I have logged off and will be having my first break of longer than 4 days this calendar year.
