Tha an lasair nad anam aig meadhan do bhith
Nas làidir 's nas mòtha na riaghaltas no rìgh

The spark in your soul is the centre of your whole existence
And it is bigger and stronger than any government or King

Instead of blaming Priti Patel for the UK running out of petrol, you should actually be blaming Sturgeon. It’s that simple. We simply can't risk this.

Priti Patel staring at a police officer with a huge smile.

BBC reporter 'Phil McCann' (lol) reports from a petrol station as the UK suffers a massive self-inflicted petrol crisis in September 2021 thanks to Brexit.

Well, my rent is past due and now my car would not start

A golden race in soul decline

Made it to the “Velvet Hotel” in the heart of Manchester’s Gay Village. Luckily it’s double-glazed, cause it is absolute Amsterdam down there. #ThisIsManchesterWereTalkingAboutHere

A butter chicken curry in House of Social. They still haven’t emailed the VAT receipt: this could be a thorny issue in time.

The restaurant we’re going to is a skyscraper in its own right. Is the whole thing just the restaurant? Is this the world’s greatest world buffet? Will I ever want to leave the building? #ThisIsManchesterWereTalkingAboutHere

House of Social in Manchester’s business district: a really tall building for a restaurant. It must have other stuff inside…?

Don’t forget to catch today’s Spectator later, where George Galloway and Burnham will discuss the Nat plans to deny us all Edmonds. Unmissable.

George Galloway meeting the dictator Saddam Hussein, and presenting him with a pennant like they do at the start of the FA Cup Final. Galloway remarked to Hussein, 'Sir, I salute your courage, your strength, your indefatigability.'

Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham stands outdoors at a lockdown press conference, peering down at someone else's phone as the other bloke shows him the breaking news that Boris Johnson is going to cut funding to Manchester.

Noel Edmonds reads the Crinkly Bottom Observer on Noel's House Party.
