Plain old Nolan “Jon Wolter” Void

One of my pet peeves is the modern usage of the word “wight” as a type of ghost or undead creature, because it’s purely fantasy guys misunderstanding Tolkien’s “barrow-wights” which just means “mound men” more or less. Wight is just the equivalent male term paired with “wyf” (wife, ie woman)

Seen some kick off about this because they’ve decided it’s telling them they must use titles. By all means drop Sir & call him Starmer: most UK papers do. But if you’re offering your opinion on UK politics & call him “Prime Minister Starmer”, it sounds like you don’t know much about UK politics 🤷🏻♀️

The clear lesson Farage needs to learn from the Lib Dems is that you get more seats by doing stunts. But because his voters are rock hard, unlike those woke yoghurt drinkers, the stunts he does should all be exceptionally dangerous

Things Can Only Get Better is the wrong vibe for this moment, so Starmer is going to come on to the podium to the sound of Brian Cox explaining the inevitable heat death of the universe.

If the result had been purely proportional, the only viable government would be a Labour led coalition with the Lib Dems and Greens.

Yes, the candidate's agents are informed of the result prior to the declaration, so the result is not a surprise to the candidates.

The best thing about British democracy is when the actual head of government has to stand in a leisure centre at 5 am beside a guy with a bin on his head to find out if he still has a job.

Hey. If you have ever been somewhere near David Tennant and are semi-randomly approached to see if you have any anecdotes about David Tennant, assume it's enemy action. Sorry for vagueness.

Election night curry finished, election night drinks and snacks ready to go. Now it's the painfully slow crawl towards the exit poll. The main result is obvious, but it's so hard to gauge how badly the Tories will do, how well the Lib Dems will do, how many Reform headbangers will get elected...

If you can't forgive the Lib Dems for their U-turn on tuition fees, but can forgive Labour for the UK's participation in the Iraq war, then you are fundamentally morally broken.

Incidentally, Bara’s lost career is a prime example of why trashing, well, trash is so bad. The vamp fad was extremely brief, less than five years. Vamps were incredibly uncool for years and vamp films were an embarrassment that didn’t deserve serious preservation efforts.

To be fair to the Labour Party (which I am rarely inclined to do), even if you canvas a constituency quite heavily you still only end up speaking to a minority of the electorate. It's just a slow, labour-intensive job.
