Family man. Aspirational socialist, Atheist, Avoider of dickheads. In thrall to our beloved rescue dog (who takes advantage of my good nature) Books, music, yadaa yadda. If you like the Boosh, the League, VnB, we will get along just fine.

Brian designated him WOOL and he suffered the consequences. It’s what he does best.

Apologies, I was so desperate for a snappy comeback I didn’t realise that the whole winter fuel payment debacle didn’t take place in the *real world*, wasn’t actual policy and wasn’t passed into legislation. Silly me.

Maybe some don’t see taking money off the disabled and the elderly as positive policies. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not the first time that bannister has been dismissed by a good handoff. Often too upright and a bit wooden in defence 🤦🏻‍♂️

Is the fridge dummy a subtle “show and go” with a cheeky step off the left foot or is it a massive “woohoo all arms” dummy? 🤣

Very disappointed not to find @brianwoolfinder.bsky.social on anti wool patrol. Was looking forward to giving him the old woolyback one-two and putting him on his arse.

Keir Starmer said yesterday: “Labour is the party of work. We shouldn’t shrug our shoulders as millions are unable to work.” Stop creating a false binary. Clinician here: cutting £5–6k from disabled people isn’t help—it’s wilful abandonment and many will die. #WelfareNotWorkfare

I know he’s not a real farmer, but he did once spread a lot of shit all over a field. Most if it his own. #FuckFarage

Well this is nice isn’t it. It’s lovely not having to crawl through the detritus left by the Tufton Street rage farmers. Very civilised indeed. Carry on like this please.
