Comedian. Retrogamer. Runner. Writer. Film maker. Billionaire. I am all but one of these things.

First day in power and these woke leftie liberal Marxists have our wonderful country drenched in rain.

This Saturday I am to do my 250th parkrun, the first under a new government. Alas, my all-time parkrun PB is *exactly* the same as the only time achieved by the current-soon-to-be-former Prime Minister. I look forward to thrashing Keir Starmer this weekend.

I hate that my parkrun PB is exactly the same as that arsewit's parkrun PB.

John's daughter came over from Portland, Oregon! Of course, this is bloody expensive. I've only ever left my continent once and maxed out a credit card to do it.

I attended their birthday party, in a Frogmore Street club, alongside Ewan McGregor and Liam Howlett. Second time I came to Bristol (about two years ago), I worked for the Slapstick Festival on a Tiswas reunion. Chatted a lot with John Gorman's daughter.

The media all over Reform as though they're not a fraction of the massively unpopular second, third and fourth parties.

Hi Clacton! I visited you twice in my 45 years. Nigel Farage barely turned up to the European Parliament in his tenure as an MEP. Even with my terrible patronage of your town, I'm better than that frog-faced cunt you voted in.

This sounds like I am making it up, but my uncle knows Nigel's father, Guy Farage. My mother was in the same class as the frog-faced Brexiteering Putin-licking picowit's now-stepmother. Guy uses a word to describe his son, Nigel...

It's like when the music press declared Babylon Zoo to be 'the future of music' in 1996. I'm a Green Party voter and the way Reform is strutting about like the cock of the walk is utterly embarrassing.

Once their followers realise they are nothing more than a third of the votes of the f--king Lib Dems and less than a tenth of the hugely-damaged Tories, they're finished. That's it. Yes, the media will fawn over the 'character' of Farage, but he has nothing to offer.

Even if they do get all 13 MPs, there is no way that will continue into 2029 with all the inevitable in-fighting. Farage has a habit of pissing off nearly everyone he has worked with. He's a useful idiot. This is the peak of Reform...

Let's give hours and hours of undeserved media coverage to a ridiculous novelty party that's less than a tenth of the hugely-damaged Tories and less than a third of the third-placed party. It's like declaring Babylon Zoo to be the absolute future of music in 1996.

It really is a weird symmetry that this year the UK elections are the 4th of July and the US elections are the 5th of November.

I am a huge fan... to the point of evangelical... of IDLES. And I know the source material and I know IDLES through and through (had a drink with singer Joe last year), and this is the most IDLES thing IDLES has ever done. 100% IDLES. Did I mention that I like IDLES?

I did tests earlier in the evening and I liked the irony that I wasn't allowed to see their double-bill airing of EastEnders.

I'll resurrect an old tweet. I was once at a student party when Jacob Rees-Mogg arrived and he caused a tremendous kerfuffle because he dropped his monocle into a large trifle.

I've got a spare laptop recording RTE One's output for an election geek friend, who always arranges to cover every UK election from every potential TV channel he and his mates can receive. (It's RTE Player, and I've no VPN, so they blank out adverts 'cos I'm a Brit.)

Aggravated disenfranched voters. Don't wipe your arse with the ballot paper because that'll get counted as a vote for Reform UK.

It's good that Little Simz is headlining the Pyramid Stage tonight and there is literally no act that can follow that. As usual, I guess Glastonbury will be firing off some kind of alarm to get the crowds to disperse as soon as her set is over.

Some say it's controversial, but I applaud Facebook's move to publicly identify animal molesters by changing their profile pic to a white arrow on a bright blue background.
