I'm sure this will all work out amazingly well for UK Labour. What could possibly go wrong with blocking Burnham from running as an MP.

Excellent perspective on how the path the EU has been following in the current parliament now looks like a particularly poor choice.
To defend Greenland and itself from Trump, the EU and its leaders must stop its deregulation packages.
EU omnibus packages serve US and not European interests.

Nothing cheers me up more on my commute than hearing podcast hosts pimping products which they clearly have no idea what they are.

I appreciate with everything going on in the world that this is small fry. But the recent update to the BBC weather app pisses me right off.

I'm sat on my own having steak frites in a little french restaurant in London with a glass of red and it feels brilliant. Sad, but brilliant.

I've been offline all morning, what did I miss? Is Farage now looking to deport all Grandparents? Cats? Or has he gone down the route of demanding taxes to be paid directly to local Lairds?

I like Ed Davey. I think he's a decent politician. Sadly, he's not a great speaker and this conference speech is like a middle class tea and biscuits session. I was hoping there would be some fight in this, but it feels....well...weak.

I've got withdrawal symptoms after a week spent in Milan. Why the fuck did we ever leave the EU? And with everything going on in politics now, I feel like packing up and finding somewhere to quietly sink into the fabric on life in a village somewhere in Italy.

I'm enjoying the Women's rugby world cup. Entertaining Scotland game this afternoon. The ball looks enormous for the players though. Apparently there's been discussion on using a 4.5 size ball which would make sense.

Brilliant to read that Scot Gov are scrapping peak fares. I wonder if we'll ever see a system like the Deutschland ticket in Scotland.

I'm in a bar in Berlin, it's labour day which, like in most European cities, is a big deal. The birdie song has just come on and the place has erupted. I feel like I've found my home.
