I said this yesterday. No one wants to know just how fucked the economy is because of brexit. Brexiters won't listen and Labour are too scared to tackle it head on.

And who did they think was going to produce champagne in pint bottles? The French? Are we allowed to call them thick yet?

Perhaps they are looking to the brexit reset to boost growth. I have heard the talks are going much further than the original TCA reset

The latest theory as to why we haven't been in contact with another civilisation boils down to 'it's way too much bother' and everyone is just pottering around their own neighbourhood

I always like the bit when the Bene Gesserit thought they could control Duncan Idaho with super sex powers only to discover he had even greater super sex powers and the tables were turned. Not weird at all.

It’s always been about telling a story to the electorate but the story now is abject horror at how fucked the economy is because of Tories and their Brexit and no one wants to tell it or hear it.

Such a good piece. Labour can genuinely give themselves permission to go as far as the EU will let them if they are honest with the electorate about how bad the Brexit damage is. £90bn a year is impossible to get back without going big on either single market membership or massive tax rises.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

There's a good game for your phone called 'Plague Inc' where you play as a disease. You have to give your disease a name and I called mine 'banter'. You get rewarded with the line 'Banter will wipe out all humanity on earth' if you win. It's the little things...

'Raising Arizona' was my introduction to the Coen brothers and I absolutely loved it. My all-time favourite is 'Miller's Crossing'. If pressed I'm not entirely sure The Big Lebowski makes it into the top 5
