I think that title's tied up forevermore by Lord Lerwick. Difficult to see how anyone's ever going to be more northern than somebody from Shetland. A forgivable oversight on Sunak's part, my picking out a long-forgotten aristocrat from the nineteenth century to get one over on him? Hardly: it's Norman Lamont.

Thinking of him has just compelled me to look up one of his predecessors and ... somehow Nigel Lawson has made it to 90. I suppose there's hope for all of us if he didn't get felled by a heart attack thirty years ago, before he dropped all that weight.

Easy to forget that other obscure Chancellor come PM, Gordon Brown. Sunak is such a scrawny little twat, Truss is a certified idiot but I’ll take some solace in her becoming PM by someone as thick as her beating that entitled little suit. 

They’re not even trying to hide it.

Yeah, more than acceptable. I often won’t if it’s a standard ale, IPA or the likes as the chances are I’ll be able to drink even if I don’t love it. I’m a bit more fickle when it comes to stouts and sours so I’ll always ask to try before I buy. 

Similarly, who’s queuing at the gate before the plane has even pulled up? Do they know they have preallocated seats?

How much do you pay for a pack of those in your local Heron Foods?

Sorry, nvm, thought you were someone else. 

To be fair, the two non-white girls in it are fucking mental.

It’s 2022 and one of the favourites for the top job opened her leadership bid by talking about the Falkland’s War. We’re on a downward spiral of jingoistic nastiness in this country, pandering to the absolute worst people we have to offer. On the same day that report is published highlighting that we have the highest income inequality and lowest disposable income of any Western European country, including those bastions of economic stability Italy and Spain. Same report reckons the average household is £8,800 a year poorer than the equivalent in Germany and France. But this isn’t important, much better to talk about willies and a war that finished 40 years ago. 

Got to laugh at Grant Shapps sitting at 100/1 for the job, miles behind people who either haven’t declared or unequivocally stated that they won’t. 
 

I’ve got a score on Tugendhat, got him at 18/1 but I’m now thinking it’ll be Mordaunt and Sunak in the final two and not sure what way it’ll go after that.

The Tories, the party of the fucking Right Club and the League of Empire Loyalists, are also the only party who've had a Jewish prime minister, two women, and, potentially, the first ethnic minority one.

And a pig fucker.

And why is territory of all words underlined?

I don’t need 20 mins to figure out Elon Musk is a weirdo, I already know. 

Sunak going for the no tie look, he must be a regular guy just like me. Except his suit probably cost more than my car, the prick. 

Aw man, I am gutted about this. In a show full of amazing characters he really managed to stand out, just an unbelievable charisma. I’m not too long back from a weekend stag where me and the two guys I was sharing a room with spent the entire time quoting him, just too many to rhyme off. That thing he does with his hand when he’s up in someone’s face, his trip to Italy, the tracksuits, the superstitious stuff, everything, he was absolutely perfect on that show. RIP Tony Sirico.

Won't stop certain sub-Beano newspapers trying to sell him as Dishy Rishi.

BBC: “hold my beer”

It’ll be MI6 Tom.

Under the, apparently neoliberal, Tories I’ve seen my tax and NI contributions rise significantly but my access to public services deplete rapidly. Scotland remaining with the UK doesn’t guarantee personal financial stability. No one can really know what would happen in either case. For me, it’s about an opportunity to put social justice front and centre and that’s not happening under Westminster. 

Corbyn likes a Facebook post several years before becoming Leader of Opposition; existential threat to the entire Jewish community.

Tories literally deport Black Brits; lesser of two evils.

Didn’t Corbyn lose in 2017?  He certainly did in 2019, and heavily.  People distrusted him mainly because of what he said, I know I did.  Plenty of people voted Tory for the first time because of him.

“People”. Ok, Loki 😉

If Corbyn gave the media the Mick Lynch treatment and the parliamentary Labour Party done their fucking job in 2017 then we’d be living in the sunny uplands of socialist utopia now, and Johnson would be writing racist dog whistles for a shitrag. 

Margaret Hodge, Ian Austin, Uncle Tom Watson and the CUK lot should never be allowed to forget that they’re a massive part of the reason we’re suffering this shit.

Give it Nadine till end of season.

Struggling to see why wetwipe Starmer doesn’t call a VONC (ok, so I answered my own question). Either Johnson loses it and has to resign/call a GE or wins it and Starmer can use it as ammo against those who voted to keep him in place?

That’s a great effort, grass is surprisingly difficult to get looking good. We moved in to our new place Aug last year and I’ve been trying similar but reckon it’ll take at least another year to get it to look passable. Doesn’t help that my dog seems to piss napalm.
