Get well soon!

Don't worry, I found they do tend to resume that attentiveness when there's, ahem, a love interest. 😉

Sorry to hear this. Hope you recover soon, and aren't waiting too long in A&E.

Well, with those two papers involved we can definitely rule out phone hacking. Absolutely! Definitely no hacking.

More great news for Albania, and coming hot on the heels of their peace treaty with Azerbaijan. 🎉

Sadly, the author of that twaddle is all too real. However, he's been writing nonsense for sometime. Remember his Brexit anniversary fantasy from 2016?

He probably is now part of the crowd that thinks Dubai is great.

Do you remember when people used to say Hannan was "a serious thinker on the right"? 🤦🏼‍♂️

Although this is encouraging.

This strikes me as a pretty major Brexit shift from Starmer.

Perhaps the beginning of 'Brexit is sh1t and has caused real economic damage'.

Not holding my breath Labour will watch and learn. 😱

Stuart Cunningham @stucun.bsky.social · 5d

That's just pettifrogging. 🤓

If I was him I'd be pretty pissed my far right mates left me to get a kicking. 🤷‍♂️

I'm not sure making an argument 5 years late will work but I suppose it's better than the previous nonsense.

However will only work if they bang on, and on, and on about it. Doing it for a week will be the worst of all worlds.

Halt and Catch Fire is on ITVx. It's the best TV you've never heard of!

Farewell to Halt and Catch Fire, the best show that nobody watched

After four seasons, the thrilling tech drama has ended, leaving behind an under-appreciated legacy that deserves to be filed next to Mad Men

What? The gov comms are terrible? I mean, they've been killing it this last year. 🤷‍♂️

It seems more and more, with every passing day, that we're watching a remake of 1930s Europe.

And to anyone who thinks I'm being hyperbolic- it's the accumulation of small acts, fascism doesn't happend over night.

Stuart Cunningham @stucun.bsky.social · 7d

Either that or she did an apprenticeship before going to university - but I don't think she's ever said that before.

I do hope she's not stretching the truth, as that would be unfortunate for her argument. 😉

She talks about what she learned on her apprenticeship.

Has she ever talked about doing an apprenticeship herself before?
Because a degree in computer science ain't an apprenticeship.

When and where did she do this apprenticeship? 🤷‍♂️

Thank goodness those weight-loss jabs were not in vain. 😉

To be fair, looking at the pictures of the, ahem, crowds at the conference it looks like they're being pretty successful. 😜

Stuart Cunningham @stucun.bsky.social · 8d

I think you're being unfair.

I'm sure he's on record as being equally appalled that he only sees white faces in Herefordshire* where his second/third home is. 😉

Exactly! How can none of them not know about Healey's Law of Holes? 🤷‍♂️

Or even Ian Hislop, who I think would describe himself as editing a news magazine. 🤷‍♂️ Not a good look for him.
