What happens to politicians who become Home Secretary? - they all seem to become right wing authoritarians. Shame on you, Yvette Cooper.

Labour isn't even Tory Lite now, it's full-on Tory. What the fuck is happening?

I loathe Starmer. A white man telling a black woman (Diane Abbott) how she should experience racism. WTF?

Great news. Supreme Court has just ruled that wild camping is legal on Dartmoor. Darwall lost his appeal - he wants to run pheasant shoots on his Dartmoor estate and has tried to stop wild camping since 2022. Dartmoor is the only place in England where wild camping is permitted

By the way, Starmer, English is not the only UK language - some of us speak Welsh or Gaelic.

RIP our beloved Winston, who died on Friday aged 20. An amazing cat who will be missed forever. This photo was taken the day before he died.

Two Tier Keir - saving English steel but didn't save Welsh steel.

First swallow seen today - always gladdens the heart

My cat Winston is 20 today, bit creaky but still managed to attack my hand just now. Happy Birthday boy!

Cancelled my Amazon Prime Membership and bought a Kobo to replace my Kindle. To answer why I ticked 'other' and said Bezos is a Trump supporter and has destroyed the independence of the Washington Post.

Think I might need to bring forward my pre dinner wine (UK time) so that I can cope with the afternoon/evening when Trump starts to do shit.

Why is Mandelson fawning all over Trump? Sick. Appeasement didn't work in the 1930s, it won't work now.

My feelings about today? Shakespeare said it best - hell is empty and all the devils are here

Both my kids have benefitted/are benefitting from being able to study Latin because of ISSP - a partnership between York state and private schools. Access to Latin/classics shouldn’t be just restricted to those who can pay for it.

Justin Welby needs to hang his head in shame

RIP John Prescott.
