The image is of a four panel comic.
The title for the first two panels reads “dog domestication”.
The first panel shows a wolf running with a pack. The text reads “we changed form, size, personality…”
The second panel shows a chihuahua in a dog bed. The text reads “…lifestyle, instinct, our entire way of being.”
The title for the last two panel reads “cat domestication.”
The third panel shows an image of a cat outside.
The fourth panel shows the exact same cat indoors. The text reads “we went inside.”

This must be the third video of wonderful voices singing global scales I have seen, and each is mesmerising and has taught me things I didn't know. Such as: That these scales exist and how they, the bare backbone of tunes, reflect and unlock whole world regions' music. This is amazing.

I’ve been trying to explain to the dog that he is our property. That we own him because we paid for him when he was a puppy. He doesn’t seem to be that interested though.

I cannot say this strongly enough: Holding Government to account for overall fiscal responsibility is obviously crucial Farting out “how’s it being funded?” for each and every minor announcement is tedious and immature

Because appointing someone who was fined £100 for not reporting that she found the phone she thought was stolen is so much more serious than choosing as your right hand man someone who was imprisoned after being charged with money laundering, blackmail and extortion.

So a quick glance at BlueSky this morning tells me that Burnham has treacherously culled all the Starmerites in his new cabinet & also traitorously kept all the Starmerites in his new cabinet. It's a continuity bloodbath. The night of the long spoons.

Tory MPs tonight seem genuinely enraged that Andy Burnham's new cabinet includes some slightly left of centre figures & bewilderment that he hasn't given a job to Liz Truss.

Scoop McNugget @scoopmcnugget.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
I’m upset that Mahmood stays in post but I’m not going to write Burnham off entirely based on this one decision. Not today anyway. Starmer outsourced policy entirely to his cabinet & I don’t think that will be Burnham’s style so I’m hoping that we’re going to see a different Mahmood under him???

Starmer has ben in with the king for a while. What if he accepted Starmer’s resignation & then collapsed & died before Burnham arrived? How long before the new PM could be sworn in? Would we be without a PM until William is coronated?

Scoop McNugget @scoopmcnugget.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
I don’t know what’s going to happen. Burnham could flame out Truss-style in a few weeks. Or he could turn out to be Britain’s most transformative Prime Minister in decades. Most likely: somewhere in between. So ends my analysis.

Karl Turner on LBC stated that Keir Starmer was considered to be very left wing by the Bar. Maybe that's been the problem. Maybe the members of the Bar shouldn't be considered the most reliable judges of where the political centre is?

Farage thinks winning an election in a single, friendly constituency will absolve him of all crimes and misdemeanours. Presumably then, if he loses (to a man with a bin on his head,) we can skip all of the standards and criminal investigations into him and skip straight to sentencing him as guilty?

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.

It's worth stressing that we have rules around political funding to protect our entire democracy. The voters of one constituency might be fine with their MP breaking those rules. But they can't release their MP from them, because a single MP on the take is a danger to the whole system.

Trump is like a video game hacker. He gets turned on by the cheating. The point is not just to win but to win by breaking the rules & proving they don’t apply to you. The more egregious & outrageous the hack, the more upset & enraged your opponents, the bigger the win.

Seems the real problem centrist democrats are facing right now is the people are being very clear that they want leaders who will solve their biggest problems, and centrist democrats really don't want to solve their biggest problems and hate the people for wanting that. It's a real pickle for them.

We had a heatwave in the summer of 76 and just got on with it. Back then the sun was known as Ra and his word was gospel. We fired 12 people from each community into the sun to appease him. Only four came back, but they were... different. Hose pipe ban was on. We got by visiting the old haunted well

I think Starmer genuinely believes that all that matters is delivery & that all this politics stuff is a trivial distraction. The trouble is it turns out that people quite want their politicians to do a bit of politics every now & then.

BBC news helicopters following Andy Burnham’s journey to Parliament this afternoon with the news reader commenting on how he is on a tight schedule. It would be the most British thing ever if he misses his swearing in & his entire leadership bid falls apart because his train was 20 minutes late.

There is a group-think in the London media-political complex, that the only response to any political development is to shift further in a Reform direction, a view held from pundits and think-tankers to spads and BBC producers and news editors. But it is a spell, and one day spells can be broken.

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.
