A group of noisy wrens has moved into the garden. This is a big deal in a space that has only ever seen robins and a few blue tits and great tits in recent years.

Trump can, not to put too fine a point on it, fuck off and sort out his own mess.

It puzzles me why the American people are letting Trump and Hegseth continue with this criminal and unwinnable war. It might not change much but if Britain were behaving like this at least there would be millions of people protesting on the streets of London.

And these numbers are for January, when people famously don’t go out to eat.

“Crucifixion”.

Tracey Emin’s “A Second Life” at Tate Modern is spectacularly good. I’ll be going more than once.

Visit Dubai (at your peril).

'I was pursued for fraud for having two council jobs at once' Paul was questioned by the police after it emerged he was working for two local councils at the same time.

Can’t see anything wrong with this except the phrase “polygamous working”. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Lib Dems could replace Ed Davey with a badger and nobody would notice until the next election.

They’re losing their seats in May. It was in the Labour manifesto and the Tory peers have finally given up the fight.

We’re finally getting rid of hereditary peers from Parliament. One of those things that people born in the future will find inexplicable to have still been a thing we put up with in the early part of the 21st century.

So good. Just when you think Traitors can’t get any better it gets an Irish twist.

But how will I know what’s going in Tooting?

At least I’ve secured my username over there.

I’m not that bothered about this but it’s a sign it might be heading in the direction of Twitter. bsky.app/profile/thic...

How long can we all keep chasing each other around the internet? A social media app run for the public good can’t be that difficult to organise, surely? Maybe I’ll do it.

I was just the right (wrong?) age to hear the Stage version before the album one, so that’s always been the original to me. The fade out on the STS album always annoys me.

The way to respond to taunting abusers like Trump is with silence.

Endless football. And war. I think this is what George Orwell was warning us about.

Everyone who loves football hates VAR. But still the people who run football persist with VAR. Perhaps the people who run football don’t care about football?

Kemi Badenoch pushing for war on the news. Does nobody in the Conservative Party think their party is worth saving? This has to be the easiest leadership election ever. First to challenge wins it. Even Jeremy Hunt could finally have his turn.

Stop saying everything is “surreal”. Unless there’s a melting clock involved. That’s surreal.

Enjoying the new Gorillaz album but I’m a bit shocked to discover it’s 25 years since their first one.

Yes. Innocent stuff that connected with odd kids like me.

Labour candidate was a blonde plumber.

I loved Jennings.

There’s a reason the hashtag is TotCry.

Yes. It’s clearly wrong. I just hope Keir can resist us being drawn further in.

I assumed it was something to do with Tourette’s, but no.

It’s warm out there. If I were a tree I’d be thinking of showing a bit of leaf.

If America were a friend you’d be seriously tempted to delete their phone number now.
