Hi all, I’ve set up this account as a log for when the BBC News app sends out a push notification, beginning from today. So, why am I doing this?

80 residents lost their homes in the Spectrum Building fire last August. This story sums up London's precarious housing market: cladding removal works that helped the fire's spread, extortionate rent for a block with known safety issues, uncontactable freeholders and an ongoing search for answers.

Dad's May 13,1972 commencement address to Ithaca College graduates:

Any other reform leader would be 20 points ahead at this point.

You forgot to mention she resigned in protest in January after you killed her cartoon about your plutocrat owner.

New post just out A fascinating guest post from @profjanegreen.bsky.social and @martamiori.bsky.social looking at Reform's performance last week. Are we seeing an end to two-party politics or its reinvention? (£/free trial) open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/t...

Don’t forget Beavis!

7pm & it’s 46c on the patio. Can summer be over already?

If Pierre keeps his seat in Carleton, the prime minister & leader of the opposition will be in neighboring seats. #canadaelection2025

Even when I play by myself I still somehow find a way to lose.

FYI: you appear to have attached a picture of a pie by mistake. Don't worry, I don't think anyone noticed.

Just another day where the pearl clutchers complain Democrats are not going enough while their contribution is getting blisters on their thumbs

Reminds me of a former work college who said he was a singer in an African gospel band & he’d played all over Europe etc. How nice I thought. How quaint I thought. Then he showed me the tour pictures. He’s performing in stadiums & arenas all over the world. Turns out gospel music is massive.

I'm getting adverts aimed at me asking If I remember...Jasper Carrott.

The “speed at which they’ve operated” is down to ignoring or actively destroying laws and institutions. This is real “say what you will about Mussolini, but he made the trains run on time” territory. Very concerning that a leadership figure would consider this an appropriate thing to say in public.
