You'd have thought MPs are one group of people who are accustomed to public speaking off the cuff, not mindlessly reciting a speech. I've noticed a lot of what I term Corporate ChatGPT speak in emails that I receive these days.

I've found a new all-you-can-eat dim sum and Chinese place near Oxford Circus. This is my disappointed face as I realise that nobody I know would fancy it, *AND* my so-called nutrition plan (try to avoid things that are bad for you) doesn't really allow for it.

3 Dec: Royal Mail leaves a parcel for someone else in the communal hallway. I email Royal Mail. Today: Royal Mail: "So what details do you have about the parcel?" Me: "Well, it's been taken from our communal hallway!" Royal Mail: "I'm very glad that all issues have now been resolved."

A 1990s-themed bar in Covent Garden. Which is a bit like in 1995 going to a 1950s-themed bar. Now if only they served Hooch or snakebites... (and I'm reasonably sure karaoke wasn't a thing in 1995)

Probably not the day to suggest a change on the venerated London Transport / Underground map but ... It's a short walk between Dalton Kingsland and Dalston Junction station. So why wouldn't there be a handy dotted line to show how you can walk (without rhythm) between them? #tfl #london #dalston

Is he trying to get people who look like 'foreigners' and deliver food attacked, assaulted, & racially abused? Because that's what that tweet does. I cannot believe it. Completely tone deaf. And entirely irresponsible.

Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer tweets:

We're cracking down on migrants working illegally as food delivery riders.

We'll share asylum accommodation locations with Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats so they can take action if riders are staying there.

We will do what it takes to ensure fairness for British people.

Except, of course, it won’t. The government asked the country’s best legal experts, medical professionals, internet analysts & childcare specialists for advice about their proposed new Daily Mail-pleasing law & were told it would achieve nothing but data harvesting. They went ahead anyway. *sigh*

It's odd. I feel no excitement about tonight's #DoctorWho episode whatsoever, and I remember the mystery villain the first time around. I honestly don't care what they're up to, or that it'll destroy the Earth. Maybe it'll get more exciting but it doesn't seem like it. It's stopped being fun.

Went to see @pattonoswalt.bsky.social in a de-sanctified church in North London. So many great stories. He had the quintessential non-political story that described America and Americans. And the worst gig of his life in London.

Old Mainstream Media doesn't really know how to deal with a New Mainstream Media where "Keir Starmer is secretly gay and shagging Lord Alli and there's WhatsApp screengrabs to prove it" is a semi-mainstream fact, because the response is to ignore it and BBC Verify won't touch it because *reasons*.

The step-up in anti-migrant rhetoric from the government is shameful and dangerous. Migrants are our neighbours, friends and family. To suggest that Britain risks becoming “an island of strangers” because of immigration mimics the scaremongering of the far-right.

Today, I looked for the cheapest thing I could find from a chain corner shop. It was 60p for a crusty bun. An issue I have is the huge gap in prices. You can pay 22p for a pack of five crappy doughnuts. Or £6 for a "luxury" one. WHERE IS THE GAP IN THE MIDDLE? WHERE ARE DOUGHNUTS FOR £2 ?!
