Have you considered the possibility that she's a wizard?

Octarine

Octarine is the colour of magic on Discworld, also referred to as the eighth colour. Octarine is strongly indicative of magic and can only be seen by wizards and cats, who both possess "octagon cells" in addition to the normal cones and rods possessed by humans. This is an effect akin to tetrachromacy. Rincewind, a wizard, describes octarine as a fluorescent greenish-yellow purple.

The kind of political instinct that's made her the chancellor she is.

5m ago 11.03 BST

There was one notable absence in Downing Street today, Jessica Elgot reports.

Interesting that Rachel Reeves was not outside Number 10 today

Reeves and Keir Starmer used to be very close, and until now their political fates have been entwined. One of the decisions that did most to make Starmer unpopular with voters was Reeves cutting the winter fuel payment early after she took office.

But Reeves is now reportedly hoping that Andy Burnham can be persuaded to keep her on as chancellor.

Elon Musk is openly using his ownership of X to incite widespread racist violence in this country. X is a fascist platform, and every politician who opposes fascism needs to leave it.

"He can liaise with different offices".

Starmer’s five-year term running the Crown Prosecution Service between 2008 and 2013 is critical here, because it means he’s actually had a big job before. Starmer can chair a meeting. He can draft a minute. He can lead a team. He can hold a press conference. He can liaise with different offices. He can stay calm in an interview. Those skills look simple, but they’re not, and they’re vital to the air of “concerned but kindly manager” that he projects.

To be fair this is a photograph of my actual doctor.

Dr Lawrence Jacoby leans back in his chair with his hands behind his head. He's wearing his trademark glasses with one red and one blue lens, a garish tie, and a red long-sleeved top under a white short-sleeved shirt. The soles of his shoes are prominent in the foreground, and behind him on the wall is a large picture depicting palm trees at sunset.

Hard to disagree with this. "Less solidarity, more murder" is 100% in line with Labour values.

I think it might be worth investigating this guy too.

"His Majesty King Charles III", by Jonathan Yeo – a portrait commissioned and approved by the elder brother of disgraced Epstein associate Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The painting is overwhelmingly dominated by a near-uniform vivid red, giving the unavoidable impression of a man consumed by the flames of hell, drenched in the blood of the innocent, or both.

Oh, Keir, mate, we're really not at the who-you-have-confidence-in stage any more.

From The Guardian:

Starmer has 'full confidence' in McSweeney - No 10

Keir Starmer has full confidence in his chief of staff Morgan McSweeney, Downing Street has said.

There have been calls by backbenchers for the sacking of McSweeney, whom many blame for his ally Peter Mandelson’s appointment to the ambassadorship.

Asked if the prime minister agreed with calls for his chief of staff to be sacked, the prime minister’s official spokesperson said:

"It’s full confidence".

It comes as Downing Street said it was talking with the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) about the process of releasing documents related to Mandelson’s appointment.

The spokesperson said:

"We have begun discussions with the ISC about the process for releasing these documents. When we’ve agreed a process with the ISC, the government will then update the house.

The government will take steps to ensure that document release does not compromise the Met’s investigation".

Good news for my landlord, I suppose. You know what else has increased by 50% since Labour got in? All the bus fares where I live. You know what hasn't? The disability benefits I need to survive.

Email from Monzo:

Protection for more of your money

Hi [redacted],

From 1 December 2025, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) protection for your eligible deposits increased from £85,000 to £120,000.

This means the FSCS’s Deposit Guarantee Scheme can repay you up to £120,000, in the unlikely event that Monzo goes out of business.

You don’t need to do anything - the higher FSCS protection is already in place over your eligible deposits
