Another Aldi top wine pick This 11 year old Graves is so plummy, smooth and delicious - and incredible wine for a tenner. Buy every bottle you can find.

Well my MP has found weasel words to back out of voting for assisted dying bill. He can deliver his own leaflets at the next election.

Look, I know the US is in the final stages of a bad Batman movie with no Batman to save the day in act 3, but If you are looking for cheese and onion crisps in the UK, Sainsbury’s are so much better than Walkers, it’s like day and night. Also, Ireland, Taytos are a bit hit and miss

Assisted dying bill. Oh uncle Tony, he’s dying on Friday’ - it should feel odd. Uncle Tony is in extreme pain, on morphine, hardly knows where he is,don’t know how long he’s got left, he can’t eat, will starve to death’ - well, that sounds worse to me and undoubtedly sounds worse to Uncle Tony.

Aldi red wine recommendation. Plummy, not green in the slightest, soft acidity.. exceptionally quaffable

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

Labour winning Hamilton in Scotland - great. Reform stealing the Tories lunch? I thought that was their plan all along? Also shows where their support is. Tory voters have been radicalised right by the media, both conventional and social. And this is news to.. that same media?

Trump coup d’état time. Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are going to try to coup d’état Trump to put JD Vance in power. The Kremlin propagandists are backing Musk as well.

Scotland- here’s my 3 star review. Glasgow is a dump, generally (centre is ok), Edinburgh over-rated and Stonehaven is quite cute. Banchory has the whitest Tesco I’ve ever been to. For some reason they seem anti wind farm and anti pylon, in-case the place looks like it’s in the 21st century.

Just doing some light reading on the history of Apartheid 🤬 I’ve never been a fan, and as a student in the 80s supported the campaigns but holy shit, that’s over 400 years of exceptional bad history to overcome. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apartheid

Hard to understand why Liz Truss still warrants discussion by anyone. Can’t we just be polite and ignore her? Unlikely to have any impact on your life now, thank goodness.

@alexvont.bsky.social can I just applaud your @bunkerpod.bsky.social on film tariffs. That took a sideways turn down AI alley and onto the collapse of capitalism motorway that I wasn’t expecting - every last minute of it fascinating and engaging. You and your guest were amazing. A must listen

Suicide is always troubling, but this guy was caring for his wife who had cancer and dementia. What a tragedy for everyone. As is pretty much every suicide. I’m old enough to have known several cases over the years, making sense of them is never going to work because you are not them.

Morning Bluesky. This was mentioned last night, but I’m posting again because I think it’s important: I’d honestly ask everyone to read The Sovereign Individual by William Rees-Mogg and James Dale Davidson because it completely explains what is happening in Trump America and the rest of the world.

Worth a read, especially if your surname is Starmer and you live in a house that comes with the job
