His job is to publicise the Green Party above its punching weight. He seems to succeed in that. Politics are secondary to rhetoric, similarly to Reform UK Ltd and the other inconsequential parties.

I sincerely hope this is left over from last year instead of anticipating an event 95 days away.

Word of the day: "malaphor" - a portmanteau of malapropism and metaphor, first coined by writer Lawrence Harrison in a 1976 article for the Washington Post. Examples include "Like taking cold to Newcastle", "It's not rocket surgery" and "We'll pass that water when we burn that bridge".

I'm 70 and have been watching Doctor Who since S01E01 in 1963. I'm sad I may never see it again. This will take *years*.

Two male Great Spotted Woodpeckers on our garden feeders today. The females have been about, less frequently. Given the overall frequency of visits, I reckon they're feeding at least one chick each.

I fail to see how two #Tesco fuel stations in more-or-less adjacent towns (Ammanford and Pontardawe) can justify an 8p a litre difference in price for #diesel, today. Tesco Ammanford 180.9p (that's bad enough) Testco Pontardawe 188.9p #FFS
