General Election 2024

I've only ever voted Lib Dems or Green, (I've lived in a super safe Tory seat, then two super safe Labour seats and now for the last 16 years a super super safe Tory seat again) But as far as I can tell the MRP individual seat polling stuff seems to suggest ...

Ian Dunt's email today talking about the Tories sending out an email looking for 200-odd (!) candidates (Labour need 100 or so). They'll have a fortnight to vet them. Many will be in very safe seats for other parties, so you'll need "someone very odd" to run.

Expect more hilarity.

I have hesitated to share this here, but I think it’s a safe and forgiving space, so please let me share with you my attempts at topiary. We’ve got a few topiary areas in the garden. Two tall topiary topped trees, one a cube and one a sort of ‘umbrella’ ...

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (the Nick Cage biopic) is surprisingly safe but nonetheless a good time and plenty of fun. I enjoyed it a lot and it had a few good laughs.

I was just annoyed it wasn’t more ambitious as the “plot” was fucking dire.

There’s also people stopping unexpectedly ...

sure, a rough landing in good conditions isn't something to be proud of; I think I more meant a safe landing in difficult/rough conditions like a big old storm.
