Love a good walk with a pint at the end, the seaside, reading, resisting facism... Fascinated/repelled by politics. Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 31/07/2026
Thames Water’s service has been shoddy, expensive and wasteful. They need to stop moaning and get a grip. Not a penny of taxpayers' money should be used to bail out their shareholders.

While in the name of football, we all want the obvious team to win, there would also be something entirely fitting about this World Cup - defined by shameless corruption, pervasive greed, institutional cowardice and flagrant racism - being won by a team of outright cheats.

This from a man who has made a career out of peddling hate and claiming politicians were only in it for themselves. In the end he would rather create more drama than answer questions about his finances.

This is why cities need trees. Hard surfaces and parked cars can reach extreme temperatures, while shaded grass and tree-covered areas stay dramatically cooler. This is the urban heat island effect in one image: hard surfaces absorb and radiate heat, while vegetation and shade reduce it.

I’m not saying the debate in the U.K. has moved to the right, but Ed Miliband is basically seen as Pol Pot for aiming for a climate target first agreed to by…I think Theresa May’s government? Definitely Johnson’s. And this chat is going on during the middle of a record-breaking heatwave

Farage: "7.2 million foreign-born people have registered with GPs in the last 10 years... All I'm doing here is giving you cold hard facts". Well here's another cold hard fact - 40.6% of GPs in England and Wales are foreign born. The NHS would completely collapse without workers from abroad.

So more people are claiming out of work sickness benefits since 2020. What could be driving that? Is it people suddenly feigning mental and physical ill health or could it be more people are waiting for treatment?

This.
A quote from the writer AR Moxon from 2017. He wrote:

"Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after.
Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?"
