Researcher, keen DIYer/bodge-jobber, decrepit five-a-side footballer. Past lives as an academic and a journalist but I’m on the straight and narrow now. Also mum to the world’s goofiest greyhounds, wife to the coolest woman on earth.

I love that! I once practiced what I was going to say to the hotel receptionist all the way to Berlin, and immediately regretted it when they responded as if I was fluent 😂

It’s all fine until you try to eat something while watching and then realise that unless this conversation is going to consist entirely of people thanking each other, you’re going to lose the thread.

A bonus joy of the original is that the more you watch, the more that weird part of your brain becomes convinced that it actually understands Danish.

Can’t believe the England supporters are pretending to chant “Jude” so they can disrespect Novak Djokovic.

I know there are a lot of issues competing for our attention right now but I think we can all agree that the dipshit move to make it harder to remove lids from drinks bottles is a big priority

It’s a really good film. Big fan of Sandra Bullock because hello who isn’t but also love a film where Radcliffe gets to play a bellend, he has wonderful range. (And kudos to Tatum on getting a role that 99% of the time would go to Dwayne Johnson.)

It requires what is anathema to them: “big government” and international cooperation, so they have to pretend it’s not happening.

Heh. And Starmer’s approach seems to be to believe that and attempt to give it depth through action, I don’t understand why right now is apparently the time to worry about this.

Is it impossible that they find a way effectively to rejoin say the CU but agree with folks in Brussels that it’ll just be easier to call it something else that the Telegraph can take as Britain’s very own unique deal for special countries?

“Affluent” to me connotes a depth of wealth, maybe generational, but certainly the kind of money that would survive whatever life threw your way, whereas “comfortably off” feels more as you describe.

Agree, absolutely loved it. Had an edge yet always touching and ultimately about kindness. Lyonne is a singular talent imo. Have you watched Poker Face?

He never hid the fact he believed he was above the little people and always looked as though he would happily patronise you with a lengthy explanation as to why. I hope we never see him again.

And the dominant narrative has never been (at least in my life time) ‘the Tories only win because those to the left of centre are distributed across several parties’. I get it’s a nasty shock but maybe let’s have 24 hours of enjoying the Tories finally getting their comeuppance

It was like they thought ‘impartiality’ meant insisting to every Labour guest that maybe there wasn’t much for them to be positive about even as they won seat after seat

Theory: Liz Truss is a time traveller, sent back to change the past to benefit her evil clan. It was working, but then she accidentally killed the Queen, and now her timeline doesn't exist. Would explain the malicious cluelessness, and zero understanding of how people work

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.

I don’t like seeing Reform getting votes in the tens of thousands but so far they’re taking votes off the Tories in Brexit country where Farage still has some weird currency and Labour’s vote share has been (modestly) up in both declared seats so I’m trying not to fret

Hopefully the consistent scrutiny that MPs are under will be bad for Refo - ah, never mind, just remembered the state of the UK media.

Not that surprising given they voted for Brexit. And Labour’s vote share was still up. (Trying to see the sunny side!)
