It's time to abolish the Home Office. It is not fit for purpose & has totally lost the trust of every stakeholder it serves - We knew that already. So I looked into how it could practically be done for @carladenyer.bsky.social My NEW report out today 👇👇

This is not what the "Not for EU" label means. The "Not for EU" label is a requirement of the Windsor Framework to ensure products placed on the market in GB can also be placed on the market in Northern Ireland.

I will literally put a STEAK BAKE in the film if they agree! 😂

The people who bled themselves to death. (My finger cut from yesterday has opened up yet again.)

We went to the pub for lunch, Father's Day I suppose. Now suffering from a surfeit of chicken fajita.

The Guardian: "The ten best podcasts of 2025" Me: "If you say so. I listen to none of them. Oh look, several of them are hosted by people already a big name in another area."

One of the great things about "The Ballad of Wallis Island" is the songs, which are great and absolutely sound like a new folk inspired band of the late 00s/early 10s. I can see myself listening to this soundtrack a lot. And go see the film if you haven't already. open.spotify.com/album/3JpQrQ...
