Heating Oil Update Over the past week my office has been contacted by a large number of constituents about serious issues with heating oil orders.

If you live in #SouthNorfolk (and I don’t care how you voted) can you imagine a world where Richard Bacon would have done this?
That world doesn’t exist!
Thank goodness for our proper #MP @bengoldsborough.bsky.social

He could always come back I suppose 😀

True but is it worth him leaving us for those 3 weeks?

He’s not that daft!

*must keep him 🙄

It’s fine. We don’t want too many people noticing or West Ham/Burnley or whoever will come knocking and we just keep him at all costs. #ncfc

There are other reasons for the UK government not to award or continue Palantir contracts but this statement of intent by its CEO must surely be decisive?

This week's newsletter features Billy Currie, Gary Numan, Loreena McKennitt, Martin Barre, Yes, Isotope, Chris Squire, Laura Nyro, Peter Hammill/ELP and much more!

PoliticsUK, owned by former Tory MP Ben Howlett, is keeping overheads to a minimum I see (h/t Politico)

Let's play a game

Your pet gets chosen to be immortalised on a banknote

Which picture are you submitting?

Always hilarious to see Chris Wilder’s face when he loses. #ncfc

Goooaaalll!!!

Great finish by Forson.

See? I told you Stacey should have been subbed 😎 #ncfc

What if we compromised and had a badger dressed up as Winston Churchill

This feels very much like last week’s Sheffield Wednesday game except we haven’t taken the lead this time. A bit disjointed, Fisher at LB does not look confident (unlike at RB). I’d take Stacey off and swop Fisher to the other side. Bring Chrisene on and maybe Maghoma too

The remaining Hereditary Peers are now set to be removed from the House of Lords after the Tories dropped their opposition in the Lords to be Bill delivering on Labour's manifesto promise.

The bill has stuck on the Lord's for over 6 months with no action.

Struggling to think who they could cast that could recapture the McShane magic.

(But I’m not a casting director obvs)

I just hope they don’t get the person who did Down Cemetery Road to do it (same production company). Some bad choices there.

LET'S NOT PLAY FRISBEE WITH THAT POET ANYMORE. [This is a comic strip, with a poem laid over it. On each panel a new line of the poem is written. The scene is a park, in the summer. A man in a trenchcoat - implicitly Philip Larkin - stands folorn, motionless, looking at people throwing a frisbee. It becomes apparent as the comic progresses that they are trying to play frisbee with him. He stand stock still for the whole comic, watching the frisbee as, panel by panel it soars closer and closer to him]. After contemplating the approaching frisbee for two silent panels, Philip begins his thoughts: Unloosed, unheralded, You soar toward me Across the dying afternoon. bright disc of childhood, Long since thrown wide Of Youth's green imaginings, Your slow declining arc Figures a sky-written truth: We will all succumb, and soon To earth's hard oblivion. [The frisbee hits Philip on the head with a resounding DONK. He falls backwards, to the ground. [Ends]

Let’s not forget this masterpiece in Holt as well…

It's especially delightful that he couldn't be in court to receive news of yet another legal defeat because he was in custody in connection with an assault for which he has just been charged.

THIS IS SPINAL TAP was released 42 years ago this week. Widely regarded as one of the funniest comedies ever made, and the film that spawned the ‘mockumentary’, the behind the scenes tale goes to 11…

If Rachel Reeves made this asinine comment it would lead the news for days and Chris Mason would think Christmas had come early.

I’ve had the pleasure of watching Andy Gangadeen up close when sound-checking/playing with both Alisha’s Attic and The Bays. Absolutely incredible drummer and he made the simplest 4/4 pop beat as funky as anything.

Incidentally if you haven’t read Andrew Lownie’s book Entitled yet, please do. It’s jaw-dropping. It is exhaustive but also somewhat exhausting simply because of the sheer amount and regularity of the grift.

This piece makes a a very elegant and scathing introduction.

When they did a cut scene on Tots TV and you'd see their legs.

Feels almost banal to say it made me think of Trump first and foremost but there you go.
