I've never had any desire/aptitude to write a novel, but if I did, it would be loosely based around a character named David Byrne, whose parents decided to stay in Dumbarton and not emigrate after all....

X is incredible these days. We all know social media erases nuance, but X has taken this much further. It's not enough to express a loud opinion there now: to get heard, you have to couch everything in terms of riot, civil war, societal collapse, the end of civilisation, apocalypse. It's exhausting.
Bah, I've been hiding from you all evening! 🙃 I'm not panicking....yet

A bleak dystopia where Sharia law predominates, while economic and cultural divisions mean that the different communities live parallel, segregated lives.

Oh, wait, that’s Dubai …
Mind how you go...
Just realised it's ten years since my parkrun PB, and yet I still can't quite give up hope that I'll beat it one day. 🤔
Mind you, the memories aren't all bad. 😉
Still shuddering at the memories of 1980s trips to the Villa Park and Molineux away ends which Jenrick has forced me to recall. 😱 😵‍💫

While this is obviously a tiny and unrepresentative sample, the general pattern is establishing itself in many areas - whole county councils became primarily LD vs Reform contests in May. Makes sense as aligns several divides - education, class, Brexit - particularly in suburban/South England

Given FindOutNow polls keep making news it's worth saying a bit more about their methodology.

Unlike other online pollsters it doesn't use a panel of people who've signed up to do polls. Instead they ask a small number of Qs to people playing the Pick my Postcode lottery. (Thread)

We have an AI for train tickets, it’s called a journey planner. We’ve been collectively perfecting it for decades now. What does this add? What does this *do?!*

A stop at #Taormina-Giardini 🇮🇹 on the #Messina to #Siracusa line in Sicily. Easily winning any train-station beauty contest.

Gosh, that's beautiful! ❤️
I don't mind it: it's like coloured vinyl records. 😏
Except for Beano annuals.
