Grim. But there is little more satisfying in life than to be congratulated on a beautifully clean colon. Makes it all worthwhile.

You went on holiday again didn't you @mrjamesob.bsky.social? When you're back please make sure you diligently read out all the candidates for the Clacton Byelection every time you mention it.

This is the most craven approach to a Farage interview going and it shames Ferrari that he's opted to indulge him rather than challenge him. The interview is called Farage on the Record and is just a puff piece about his favourite bloody book and how much he loves his family. Poorly judged and grim.

Appalling. We know the only interviews Farage will open himself up to are ones which tickle his belly. Where is the integrity here? A significant by-election with Reform as key player is imminent. I'd say this was irresponsible and not at all what you should be doing with *any* leader at this stage.

Imagine writing a bestselling book encouraging a 'people's revolt' only to see it happen in parallel in Hungary. He must be feeling thoroughly buoyed up.

Perpetuating the state pension myths and the ambiguous "paying in to a system" trope. The people to whom pensions are being paid entirely rely on the younger in-work generation to fund them. It is quite the flex to say that the younger generation is somehow deficient here.

As a teen I had massive capacity for listening to "difficult" music. I found ways into it pretty easily, my listening was eclectic and I was hungry for the experience and the noise. I really genuinely enjoyed Trout Mask Replica. Don't listen to it so much now, but I still know it inside and out.

Best of luck. I managed to zone out completely when I had an MRI. The rhythmic clunking and whirring was strangely hypnotic and not dislike the experience of Sabresonic club in the 1990s under the arches near London Bridge which I willingly subjected myself to. So I put myself there.

The great thing about this is the Reform UK core vote jumping up and down and calling the polling a fix. This is the optimum level of self-delusion that comes before, during, and after a fall (see Matt Goodwin).

A few photos from my recent wanderings. I am walking a virtual Lands End to John O'Groats this year which means averaging out 16.8 miles per week. Quite a long a way it turns out (although this hasn't been a massive revelation) but I am now halfway between Exeter and Bristol.

The mistake was putting Churchill on the banknote in the first place. It should have been highly predictable that some people would lose their minds over it being changed. Be great if the UK could get over it's WW2 fetish soon.

Schooled by Louise Mensch. I imagine her comments will have echoed through the halls and corridors of the Vatican. Lots of frantic deliberation about what this now means for Pope Leo XIV.
