The advert for Persil's The Big One, with Peter Crouch, always ends with a voice over of "Always keep away from children", and I always think that's excellent advice.

@octopus.energy I've just had my bill through and was credited £1.76 for Weekend Happy Hour. Problem is that you billed me £6.80 for that period. So where's the rest of this refund? Considering my home batteries mean I don't spend anything during the day normally, this feels like I've been 'had'.

Do I know anyone with EDF? I'm thinking of switching to it and I think there's a referral deal on at the moment. If you want to share your code with me we can probably both get a bill discount.

A suggested statement for Andy Burnham.
‘The British public decided in the 1930s that they would not tolerate black-shirted militias marching through their streets. They would cherish robust political argument; they would not accept thuggery and intimidation. When Oswald Mosley led his Blackshirts to Cable Street, local people turned them back. A new law – introduced by a Liberal, backed by Labour and carried by a Conservative majority – banned private militias, political uniforms and ‘the use or display of physical force in promoting any political object’. The British people are as determined today as in the 1930s that they will not accept the methods of Mussolini and the Munich Beer Hall. This government will uphold the law and defend the traditions of British democracy’.

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.

So, if I understand Nigel Farage's argument correctly it is: "Everyone I trusted and elevated into a position of responsibility is constantly doing crimes that benefit me but of which I somehow have no knowledge. I am a man with the character, judgement, and intelligence to run the country." Ok.

This is quite amazing, really. Kind of excitingly paced. And incredible to hear Reform admit that they've got nowhere near enough genuine British donors.

I watched Alex Garland's Civil War for the third time and it really is an astonishing piece of work. One of the great movies of recent cinema. It's a hard recommend if it's passed you by. Streaming on Sky/Now.

#TheYearInReform Look, it's very simple. Nothing to see here. Move along. Reform UK is a party - sorry - a company built around British Patriotism and being frank with the public, and it is led by straight-talking anti-elite Nigel Farage.

While driving I asked Android Auto to navigate to Hatton Cross Station, and somehow it instead heard me asking for Gay Male Massage by Adam. He's based in Kings Cross, apparently, has 5* reviews pointing out that he's very handsome. My 11 year old son wants to go. I'm trying to explain.

I have aircon in my office that heats in the winter. The heating costs about four times as much to run as the aircon does. Are they not allowed heating in winter either? Aircon is becoming increasingly essential in this country.

I didn't set my alarm. Woke up at 1am anyway. Saw the match was delayed and fell asleep. Woke up at half time. Fell asleep. Woke up to the Mexican pen and watched silently until the end. Not a bad way to see something so tense. Great job, England. Now, more sleep...?

Extraordinary detail in the new book on Trump's second term administration
After they wrapped up their research, the authors sat down with Trump to check their facts. He drifted on to why his "love affair" with Venezuela went back to his years of owning the Miss Universe pageant, which featured many beautiful Venezuelans. What he really wanted to relate was a conversation he had had with a historian whose verdict was that Trump was "without question, the most powerful man the planet [had] ever known - by a long way." The historian had sent Trump a two-page memo from which he read. "If President Trump is the American Eagle, then William the Conqueror was merely a sparrow." Curious about the identity of the historian, Swan tracked down a golf caddie in Florida, who confessed a passion for history.
