I’ve been absolutely plagued by a fruit fly today. Neighbours over the road must think I’m clapping along to some very esoteric jazz.

Why does it always go in this direction? I’d watch the flip out of a live-action HBO-style Paw Patrol or Fireman Sam.

And the impact knocked me onto the Silver Seat, so much so that the back of my head hit this upright.

An upright post attached to the headrest of a bus seat.

I was so excited that the Silver Seat was available that I rushed forward and banged my head on the upstairs windscreen.

I see Lorraine Kelly’s got herself a podcast where she interviews famous people. I’m surprised she hasn’t tried interviewing famous people before.

Top pop fact (one of many in my 2023 book #DontStopTheMusic, still very available): Stevie Wonder recorded the harmonica solo for I Feel for You on the afternoon of Thursday 5 Apr 1984. In the morning, he had sung at Marvin Gaye's funeral.

The people most furious about the idea that Labour might break its 2024 manifesto commitments on tax and public spending are people who voted against Labour in 2024.

If you had a free national social care service, it wouldn’t be an inheritance tax, it’d be an inheritance protection tax - a means by which inheritances weren’t burnt through by the current care lottery. There’s a way to make this appeal to self interest.

Anybody up here for Labour conference: can I recommend Corked? It’s a wine bar in one of Liverpool’s most beautiful buildings and it opened after last year’s conference, so you’ve never been there.

Jane is a wonderful stand up. Had the pleasure of seeing her in Edinburgh a while ago. Unflinching. Not afraid to deal with the dark stuff then. If you are nearby you should try to go.

If I were Education Secretary the curriculum would include an hour a week teaching kids genuinely useful things for adulthood: how to darn socks; how to tie knots; how to know when one is a big number and a million is a small one*; and the basics of contempt laws. *From The Tiger That Isn't

I'm with you on that. There wouldn't have been an issue with using his name in these circumstances either.

Words do matter. That's why we have contempt laws in this country.

My big idea is to rebrand all state handouts as benefits, especially pensions (retirement benefit) and winter fuel allowance (winter fuel benefit).

Not the point at all, but how bereft of imagination and/ or personality do you need to be for your nickname to be Daniel "Danny Tommo" Thomas?
