On Eurovision, Israel coming first in the public's vote is a very strange one. I watched it and I can't even remember the song. So many good memorable ones from the likes of Finland, France, Netherlands, Sweden and even San Marino. It baffles me that it did so well.

Congratulations to Crystal Palace on winning the FA Cup. Lovely to see a non-traditional team win the trophy. Helps to keep the magic of the cup competition alive.

It feels like the goalposts are being moved over immigration. Firstly we wanted to only see immigrants come in with skills we were missing. Now it seems like they're just lowering it overall. Because we have a shortage of care workers, and immigration helps fill that void, so why ruin that?

Labour need to buck their ideas up fast. Slow growth of the economy isn't going to help those deprived areas and will ultimately see them move to Reform with their promise of something different. I also want to see the Lib Dems project their vision for the country, especially for deprived areas.

I've managed to catch up with PMQs. Kemi Badenoch saying the Tory stood up for common sense. The same Tory party who partied while we were in lock down, the same Tory party who handed out COVID contracts to friends rather than to qualified companies? Sure "common sense".

In this whole trans debate, and I won't go into it because I've seen how toxic the debate can be, but I don't think I've heard from any trans men on the subject. It feels like the one voice I never hear from and I'm genuinely curious to hear their thoughts on all of this.

Just seen an interesting story on the BBC News app about rising vets bills. It's almost as if capitalism isn't really working for us all. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer. We have our income squeezed more and more from every direction.

Desperate to see Portsmouth get a win this afternoon. Then I'll think we're pretty much safe.

Trump breaks his silence on the chaos in the markets.

My post on Private Pensions is getting there, but I'm having to add more to it, especially as the impact of the NI rises becomes apparent for companies. It will hopefully make people think about whether or not they're useful in the current climate.

JD Vance talks a load of bollocks, if Trump dies, he takes over. Time for some MABA: Make America British Again. And if you ever wondered what the Mar in Mar-a-Lago means, it's Make America Russian.
