The Conservatives have got a nerve branding English a “rip-off” degree, when they can’t even spell the name of the country we sacked them from governing.

I wonder what Starmer’s ulterior motive is for digital ID in the UK? 🤔 www.bertelsmann-stiftung.de/fileadmin/fi...

All smiles before “Lord Grantham’s” Gaza remarks. But the reporter’s face during… 🤣

Facebook just reminded me where I was working on this day 10 years ago, aged 50: the beach near where I grew up. The job was a lifeline at a turbulent time. The next month I landed a post that changed my life, but I still left the sands with some regret for my new occupation.

Rebel Labour MPs not Tory enough for Starmer.

Just started the first book on my “Save Until Summer” shelf. I seem to keep coming back to (loosely speaking) “the campus novel” though. Go figure.

Has it really been a whole year? Off to see my students graduate in Southampton. Nice day for it! 😎🎓☀️ #scorchio!

Like that Ishiguro book. Scary when dystopian texts become reality.

Weather presenters for the next few days: “Hotter than [insert place that’s really hot all the time here]!”

So this happened (legit part of my teaching of and research into spatial audio experiences). If you get the chance to do one I thoroughly recommend it. Doing a presentation on similar stuff at a symposium tomorrow. Get me, eh? www.darkfield.org/schedule/fli...

The dog poo thing is real. People leave bags of the stuff hanging from trees and on benches in the New Forest. It’s a National Park for goodness sake. The wild ponies live there and get to crap wheresoever they like. Your dog is a visitor and you should take its poo home and bin it there!

There’s one particularly notable exponent of this art. And he doesn’t restrict it to just museums.

What’s the betting that “more than 75 countries” did not phone the US government today? Big climb down. More of them to come.

Likewise the FIFA World Cup: pack out the Canada and Mexico venues and boycott the USA-hosted matches.

“Scorching 22C blast”? 🤣🤣🤣 What is “scorching” about 22C? Unseasonably warm, perhaps, but “scorching”? 🤣

An astonishing 40 per cent of Labour members think the party is going in the right direction. I’m sorry, but what? And don’t get me started on the 11 per cent who don’t know. Good grief 🙄

The Telegraph is little more than a bitter and grumpy Tory fanzine these days: a pale shadow of its Expenses Scandal investigation era (an essay about that amazing scoop formed part of my journalism master’s, so credit where it’s due!).

So, we vote people out of office because we don’t want them to represent us, and the government elevates them to the Lords where they represent us for the rest of their lives. It makes no sense, and is undemocratic. “Congratulations”? Good grief, no.

Forget all this “why doesn’t Zelenskyy wear a suit” nonsense: why are JD Vance’s trousers so short?

I’m sure this is fake. But otherwise it could be quite accurate…
