"He’s a coward who refuses to take responsibility for his own actions," said the anonymous MP.
A Labour MP remarks: "Starmer will go down as the worst PM in Labour history ... He’s a coward who refuses to take responsibility for his own actions. He is a moral gravity-well from which neither decency, honesty or integrity can escape. A genuine disaster for this country and the Labour movement.”

Got an awful lot of pop music research to organise today, so naturally I'm now the world's biggest fan of women's parallel giant slalom snowboarding.

Brass Construction's Movin' on NOW Yearbook Extra '76 sending me right back to DJing* aged 17, 1989. Maybe it was on a comp. Anyway, *DJing involved being a pause button ninja, no gaps, then taking the tape to a party. You can imagine how cool I (thought I) was.

Not my favourite – although, what a hit rate they had – but I'll never stop finding Hot Chocolate's What Kinda Boy You Lookin' For (Girl) hilarious just for those brackets.
Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

Finally, just listened to Harry Styles' Aperture. Seems like it was specifically made for me, which I'd say is a poor commercial choice. Is he finished?

What's the dullest you've been in your dreams? Last night I dreamt we were in the car, listening to a six-and-a-half-minute version of the Faces' Ooh La La, and I turned to my wife and said, "It's Ronnie Wood singing this, you know."

Arsenal weren't on the telly so I went and saw Hamnet instead and had my soul hollowed out in an entirely different way.
