Nooooo. Stop doing this. Instead, why not get thirty of them in a classroom, educate them on the policy, then ask them.

I’ve done 28 hours crossing the channel on a small boat on my own, and I can tell you it’s scary. I had the luxury of a stove and oven, a toilet, navigation equipment, VHF radio, and a YM qualification, but it’s still a challenge. I would have wanted to spend 30 hours on an inflatable.

I’m guessing the football season must have started, as I’m seeing random posts about something called var, and coy(c) all weekend. These people must assume I’m watching these men kicking the ball around, but I couldn’t be any less interested, so I’ve unfollowed a few. No doubt more soon.

Shadow chancellor Andrew Griffith says he would inherit a terrible economy if Tories win in 2028. That would be the party which left £2.7trillion government debt which swallows 10% of all the tax we pay just to make the interest payments. #r4today

Hey, Americans, I was called for my AAA this morning. We all get one around the age of 65. I received an appointment by text from the NHS a couple of weeks ago. I went this morning and was there for 20 minutes. 18mm. All good. Went home. No payment required.

The video starts with a Luton box van disgorging a contingent of paramilitaries dressed, in effect, in identical uniform with balaclava ski masks. NB. The "cpayne.com" on the box van back is actually "jcpayne.com", a commercial vehicle bodybuilders based in Aldridge, West Midlands. Nothing more.

As the CIA Director has left Moscow, I can only conclude his visit signals that US intelligence perceives the threat that Russia is seriously preparing for an armed confrontation with a NATO member to be substantial. We are perilously close to Article 5 territory now.

I’m sure I just heard a Tory on BBC Any Questions accuse Burnham of ‘running out of other people’s money they way he’s spending’ - the same party which raised government debt from £900b to £2.7t over 14 years, the interest on which uses 10% of all the tax we pay.

I hear dopey Helen Whately has a new cruel policy to put right something the Tories created, with Thatcher, and presided over for 14 years and did nothing about - because it’s all the fault of Labour who inherited these problems two years ago.

Channel 5 now. Care home owners spending £millions extending their multi £million home. Maybe the government should look at the cost of care homes if such huge wealth comes from them.

Has anyone seen the grief the Home Office gets on its Facebook posts? It has to be a coordinated attack by Reform or the other one.

Maybe our economy would see growth if fewer people were employed to write shite about why the economy isn’t growing, and produce something of value instead. The lengths to which some people will go to avoid working for the country never ceases to amaze me.

WATO interviewing a raving lunatic from Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’. What an arsehole. Basically, Palestinians are to become Jews. Worth listening to on Sounds.

The view across Europe: Keir Starmer was a solid British PM, like a majority of the 7 PMs over the last ten years. His problem was having to cope with England's completely lunatic media, which understands its function to be toppling governments as a form of popular entertainment.

My Daily Mail reading dad has just asked me how I plan to heat my extension now ‘that Ed Miliband’ has banned underfloor heating. Shocked, I thought I’d look it up, and it’s just another load of bollox - he’s banning some super inefficient types of heating after 2027, which is quite different.

Here I am slagging off Keir Starmer for accepting some free glasses. Because that is so much worse than accepting £5 million from a crypto billionaire or using the house of a convicted fraudster while he pays for my staff, security and social media.

I recently had a water meter fitted. Prior to this my water only bill was £74 per month based on rateable value. My new charge is just £18 per month. My water use hasn’t varied. That over £600 per/a saving, and that’s better in my pocket than the South West Water CEO who just received a £150k bonus!
