I'm hoping a deathly Mulligan turns up at The Bull on Bartleby , rides into the bar, with Bartleby rearing up...to claim George's soul . Jolene and Kenton have to draw a circle with salt to protect the regulars. I'm thinking The Devil Rides Out meets Ambridge over a pint of Shires .

It's almost exactly four years since Tim Shipman's notorious "Boris Johnson squats like a giant toad" tweet.

Seems like important context given how we often talk as though the next election – four years away – is a done deal.

@bendorgrosvenor.bsky.social wd be interested in your thoughts on Andrew Graham-Dixon's thesis on Vermeer. Sounds very plausible.

I genuinely thought it was a piss-take that Trump was contemplating a Triumphal arch in DC. Nope...it'll be a thousand year Reich next.

‘Six words or _fewer_.”

A meme. There’s a skull at the top, followed by the words ‘WRITE A HORROR STORY IN SIX WORDS OR LESS’

Drinking game idea. Every time BBC Political ed Chris Mason does a piece to camera or for radio and mentions Nigel Farage and or Reform,take a drink. You'll be pissed in no time.
