The actual regime that these people are hankering after is Dubai: a small elite of citizens, most immigrants to be transient, insecure and all immigrants to be second-class. In reality they would hate the world they would create and would find ever-more ridiculous scapegoats for their failure.

Amused - actually, no, revolted - to read Camilla Long, of all people, in the Sunday Times telling us that Angela Rayner isn’t an authentic working class hero. I mean, she’d know, wouldn’t she?

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Watching the Peter Ustinov Death on the Nile. Script by Anthony Shaffer of Sleuth and Wicker Man fame. Apart from noting that most of the cast is now dead, I’m finding it hard to get past the fact that the murder victim - spoilers! - is called Mrs Doyle.

Virgin Media's customer service is truly appalling. They were to replace a cable today. They did not arrive to do so. My wife has spent hours on futile calls to call centres staffed by people with no apparent ability to give a straight answer to a straight question or solve the problem. #Sludge

I'm a great admirer of Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Mayor of Casterbridge, but my favourite Thomas Hardy work was the way he'd roll up his sleeves and throw Stan and Ollie out of the saloon for non-payment of the bill.

Absolutely! Not up to much as a father , but given his war experience I can forgive, but glad of having seen almost all of Shakespeare's plays by the age of 14. Also he figures, heavily disguised of course, in my 3rd novel ('Kiss and Don't Tell', Silverwood books) to be out this summer hopefully.

We found this during the Origin Story episode on anti-vax. When people experienced the condition the vaccine prevented, they were grateful for it. But once it retreated into historical memory, they began to resent the thing which saved them.

hand holding a book in front of a bookcase, on the book cover is a drawing of a boy with his arms crossed and a bowl of food on his head which has gone all over the table in front of them, there is an anticipatory looking dog to their side
