Lamb kleftico! To be continued…

Not a single Reform MP has bothered to turn up to today's House of Commons debate on tackling violence against women and girls

Just in case you were wondering how things are going over at The Spectator, in the opening months of the Paul Marshall/ Michael Gove golden era... These were all published on Monday.

Trump is a kind of cancer broadcast. The closer we get to the inauguration, the more deafening it becomes. Racist bilge in the UK, infecting even mainstream news sources. Facebook dismantling accuracy standards.

*terrible beatboxing noises* “My name is Mark Z and I’m here to say that i’m letting people use slurs in a different way!”

In other news, Nigel Farage didn't bother to turn up to the debate on grooming gangs in the House of Commons just now

Lewis Goodall absolutely nails it here.

Me, checking in on LinkedIn

Merry Christmas, all. Enjoy X

Out of Office : On

Copper Fox remains elite. 🙌

When is this country going to see sense and introduce a fast lane on pavements for faster walkers?

“After the Party” on Channel 4 is excellent tv. Highly recommended.

Bailey Peacock Farrell’s agent should win BBC Sports Personality of the Year for getting him a 4 year deal at Blues.

Good evening from Dads Lane 👀

Lunch at the beautiful La Bellezza in Chamberlain Square

DO NOT give your money to Jeff Bezos. He has plenty. Make a list of the books you want to buy as gifts and buy or order from a local bookstore...if you want those stores to continue to exist.

Stew, mash, Guinness 😍 Who’s in?

City without Rodri is like when they unmask the scary creature in a Scooby Doo episode and it's just the town's mayor with a gambling addiction

A great first day as Gregg Wallace’s PR guy.

Game day! Up for the Cup 🙌

It’s starting to look a lot like….

In Britain they’d be about a quarter of the way through planning permission by now, confronting a gaggle of local retirees with too much time on their hands who never wanted a cathedral there anyway.

Light lunch 👀

The new asylum stats show the impact of the Labour government unblocking the asylum system. More initial interviews took place in both August & September than during the last government's backlog clearance. In June there were 1,157 interviews - August there were 10,327 and September 11,540.

Spot on. Comprehensive pedestrianisation should be far higher up the agenda in our cities than it is. Nearly wherever cars go, cities get worse. Nearly wherever they’re removed, those urban spaces flourish.

Brumrise 😎

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Something new for day 48 of my futile one-woman crusade to keep real images popping up on your feed rather than AI (in The Bad Place) Late autumn in Clent. A little bit of atmosphere and the beech trees absolutely putting on a show! Woodland is tricky but the only way to improve is to keep at it.

The most expensively assembled third tier team ever has been outmanoeuvred by a coach who looks like a band manager from Spinal Tap going through a messy divorce.

Doctor Who day, and I’m thinking about my friend Keith Carter who once saw Tom Baker emerging from a phone box in Edinburgh and shouted “Been anywhere nice, Tom?” and got a resounding “fuck off!”

New manager bounce, poor weather, inevitable low block today.. Let’s see if our lot fancy it and more importantly whether we can be sufficiently ruthless. #UTFB

Game day! #UTFB

Francis, Vialli, Souness. Wonderful photo from the Sampdoria glory days. Pic from Sampdoria Anni 80.

They sold almost *NINE THOUSAND* bottles of Captain Tom branded gin? I'm in the wrong game, man: www.gov.uk/government/p...

Rate my mug ?

If only there was a small sign that my Dad’s uncle was a Nazi sympathiser.
