As I’m only having one account here I’ll have to decide whether to reinvent myself.

Become as a vocal green activist, an OBGYN tweetorialist, a deep diver into #DarkTower lore or a breaker down of Amorim’s #MUFC tactics?

Ahh sod it, moaning about NHS bureaucracy it is.

Hypothetically if I was the Green MP for Walsall and Bloxwich in 2029, you’d expect a tight reign on the intakes expenses and housing. And I wouldn’t own multiple homes!

It also speaks to the class of people who are Labour MPs.

They’re rent seekers and property owners and therefore inherently at odds with the majority of people they seek to represent.

Rachel Reeves' failure to manage her housing arrangements properly is another reminder that Keir Starmer’s team need to take standards seriously, says @timdurrant.bsky.social

Admitting that you use genAI should be as embarrassing and off-putting as confessing that you fuck sheep.

One way to know that genAI is an instrument of fascism is: look at what else these people publicly express with zero sense of shame.

Is it not a European holiday until you’ve spent €100 on knock off football shirts from bossmen?

I love Bilbao by the way.

Capitalism is SOOOO good that the poor people can’t help but expect the same from governments is the shortest sighted take I’ve read in the ft.

My MO for this weekend mostly in the hospital and away from my guys. Sleep. Whenever I can. Lots of it.

Oh as if it’s NHS bureaucracy that’s going to be the main delayer in my life. I could never have predicted that.
