A litle bit of silliness for your friday afternoon. Me, totally losing it onstage, a week ago in Dublin. Lovely fella by the way, he thought this hilarious, albeit in a characteristically hangdog way, just to re-assure you.

I'm old enough to remember Michael Gove turning up at work to vote completely off his face. For that he didn't get fired, but he did get a peerage.

Matt Hancock intervened personally to help a pizza firm, owned by a Conservative donor, win a lucrative Covid PPE contract. Two days before winning the deal, the company, which had no previous experience of supplying medical equipment, removed ‘pizza’ from its name bylinetimes.com/2025/04/11/m...

The U.S. dollar is falling, the stock market is crashing, bond markets are imploding, and consumer sentiment is tanking. Donald Trump: “We are doing really well.”

I wish there was some fancy economic term for when a person deliberately lowers the price of every single stock on the planet before then raising them all with a wave of their hand, in a manner you might say would grant immediate, near-infinite wealth to anyone informed of such plans beforehand.

UK govt considering nationalising British Steel. Better than handing billions of free money to private foreign companies. Can't succeed without ending profiteering by energy water sectors, which inflates industry cost. If steel can be nationalised why not water and energy. They are essential too.

I can’t believe that even after so many people have patiently sat down and explained how university finances work, the government still thinks turning the big dial that says “ban international students” is a winning economic strategy

They even buried the ambulances & vehicles in an effort to cover up the wrong doing…and misdirected the people trying to recover the bodies and evidence for days. I’d say that was powerful evidence of mal-intent.

For those of you keeping score: When President Biden left office, the stock market had risen to a healthy 43,487. Since trump launched his stupid trade war, the stock market has plummeted to 37,958, just 77 days later. He is a fucking IDIOT. Any questions?

The French would like to thank the UK for funding to them. 2020 - 2024: EDF owned by the French state made £91bn operating profit in the UK, subsidises French households/industry. UK govts oppose public ownership but happy to let foreign govts own UK infrastructure, export billions of profits.

Boris Johnson has used his Daily Mail platform to slag off “Adolescence” and compare Starmer to Pol Pot. This is a politician, a paper and a headline that sum up the debasement of our politics and the toxic level of ‘debate’ it encourages. Grotesque that he gets airtime to insult us all like this.

I mean… Isn’t that repulsive? On every level. Ignorantly and vindictively unleashes untold damage on the citizens of America and the world, shatters trust with America’s allies and cosies up to their enemies… then, without a care (or thought) in the world, spends the weekend playing golf.
