Laughter and anger - but not necessarily in that order. Think Christopher Robin trapped in the body of Winnie the Pooh.

What I don’t understand is, if you thought that Professor Jason Arday’s academic work was questionable, the entire academic process is set up to enable you to critique it. That’s the way academia works. You don’t hound the people you disagree with, you dispute with them.

13th August, Clacton Town Hall. The Returning Officer announces that Count Binface has beaten Nigel Farage and is the new MP for Clacton. Binface removes his bin head to reveal a smiling Keir Starmer.

So basically, the plot of The Odyssey is: He’s coming home He’s coming home He’s coming…. [Long pause] Odysseus is coming home.

If (as I hope) Count Binface becomes an MP, will he have to renounce his title?

Hear me out now - wouldn’t it be easier for everyone if we just leave Andy Burnham in place, and make Manchester the capital of the UK.

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

The countries that do well at @Eurovision seem to be those that marshall their loyal patriots to vote. The solution is simple. Next year we should send Tommy Robinson.

Dear Donald Trump. I hear that the Daily Mail has revealed that you and King Charles are distant cousins, and you have said that you would like to move in to Buckingham Palace. We have a much more suitable place to offer you. We call it The Tower of London.

All credit to the @BBC for live broadcasting the installation of @ArchbishopSarah yesterday, even though it will have cost a fortune and lost audience. Remember this if you are tempted to accuse the BBC of being biased against religion.

I am a voter in Gorton and Denton. Over the past few weeks I have got to know Angeliki Stogia, the Labour candidate. I believe she is a person of really good character, energy and experience, and that matters a lot. I hope she is elected as our Member of Parliament.
