The problem is not Mandelson.

The problem is Starmer's astonishingly poor judgement

Starmer has to survive 38 days to have had a longer tenure than Rishi Sunak.

If a successor were to be in place by 13th July, we'd have had 7 PMs in a decade, which, by my reckoning, is the most since the 8 of 1827-37.

Managed to catch up with all episodes of How Dare You!?. Really enjoying this one! #cdrama

Finally tried them!

Really didn't like it, lol. 😅
Bought these today to try this week! I've never had persimmon before. Seen them in many cdramas so when I saw at the supermarket was intrigued to give them a go! Any followers fans of these fruit?

Been a long day at work with zero time to watch anything. Think I'm going to end the day watching the latest episodes from His Man 4!

How Dare You!? - so many episodes out already! Finished episode 1, loved it. #cdrama

This track from the In The Name of Blossom OST has been on repeat in my head these last few days. #cdrama

Finally completed Flourished Peony & sequel. Did not expect to love this world so much. The cast, costumes, soundtrack and story. Loved it all. #cdrama

I finished In The Name of Blossom! Absolutely loved it! I cried several times towards the end and was also so happy for everyone at the finish. #cdrama

Watching part of a cdrama on your work break is dangerous. Just watched a very emotional part and feel like crying, 😅😅😭.

Watched episode 1. Don't think it's for me, didn't love it and wasn't hooked. I'll see how everyone else finds it to see if it is worth returning to.

Did watch more of Undercover Miss Hong, which I'm still enjoying! Nearly caught up with the released episodes.
I know we're already juggling a dozen dramas and 2 cdramas are on the horizon... BUT anyone else planning to watch Our Universe kdrama later today?

Well that didn't happen, lol. Is there some behind scenes controversy with this drama that's delaying things?
Veil of Shadows for the beginning of 2026, a good start to the year! Looking forward to this one. #cdrama

I still have yet to jump into cdrama Swords Into Plowshares, currently all my attention is on 'In the Name of Blossom'. Finally up to episode 18, still in love with everything about this drama. You guys were so right about loving this so much last year! Also...

Haven't found a kdrama that I've managed to stick with since finishing Pro Bono. Currently giving Undercover Miss Hong on netflix a go, only on ep2 but am enjoying it! Anyone else watching this one?
January 31, 2026 at 7:04 PM
Up to episode 12 of 'In the name of Blossom'. I'm so in love with the main couple, but it's driving me mad that they're not together together! I know that's like the point of the plot but still!!! Omg, stress! Loving this world and the cast. #cdrama

The bf was especially good, had me crying at one point! Just the wait until Friday for His Man on iqiyi, lol. How did i get so hooked on these shows?!

I needed to watch something a bit lighthearted before going to sleep last night, so gave episode 1 of Positively Yours a go. Didn't think it would be my cup of tea, but really enjoyed it! The comedy seemed to hit right for me. Going to watch further! #kdrama
