Escaped from the cesspit. Yes, that one… Here for some laughs, photos and sensible banter. I walk, run, sail and ski. If you're sending a friend request with nothing more than a pair of tits, please don't and just jog on.

Are we genuinely expected to endure this from Justin Webb for the entire show? Farcical. Utterly unlistenable. The BBC doesn't have anyone from the Midlands team who can step in? #R4Today

Calling all lawyers! Re. Harborne's £36m gift to Reform over the weekend... As I posted yday, he still listed his address as 'Bangkok' in a June legal filing That breaks the March 25 cutoff for overseas donations over £100k, right? Well. He MAY be relying on this carve-out in the elections bill:
4) In relation to a donation received by the registered party before the
commencement day, those provisions and amendments have effect only in
the following cases—
(a)
10
where the donation is received on or after 25 March 2026 at a time
when the individual is an overseas contributor by virtue of section
55B(2)(a) of PPERA 2000 (overseas elector);
(b) where—
(i) the donation is received on or after 25 March 2026 at a time
15
when the individual is an overseas contributor by virtue of
section 55B(2)(b) of PPERA 2000 (elector previously not UK
resident), and
(ii) the individual was registered in an electoral register in
pursuance of an overseas elector’s declaration during all or
20
part of the period beginning with 25 March 2026 and ending
when the donation is received;
(c) where—
(i) the donation is received on or after 6 July 2026 at a time
when the individual is an overseas contributor by virtue of
25
section 55B(2)(b) of PPERA 2000 (elector previously not UK
resident),
(ii) the condition in paragraph (b)(ii) (registration as overseas
elector) is not met, and
(iii) the individual was, during all or part of the period beginning
30
with 6 July 2026 and ending when the donation is received,
not resident in the United Kingdom.
(5) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (4)(c)(iii), where an individual—
(a) is not resident in the United Kingdom, but
(b) is registered in an electoral register in pursuance of a service
declaration,
the individual is to be treated as being resident in the United Kingdom at 35
that time.
