Talking about the French kicking the fash into touch (again), I wrote a song about the French Revolution in 2018. It's called Guillotine. It's pretty good. I really ought to finish it.

Bob Taylor in his pomp, even in his later years, did far more for his team than Kane does, standing on the penalty spot and expecting the ball to come to him.

Lovely to see on the ticker as I roll off to bed that rape apologist and fedora-botherer George Galloway is redundant again.

Michael Green, Sebastian Fox and Corrine Stockheath must be worried for their seats now that Grant Shapps has fallen.

She's gone to bed after looking ready to murder Alastair Campbell. Properly, obviously worse for wear.

Happy to see Heidi Alexander elected. She could be a strong active travel advocate. Hope she joins the APPG for Cycling and Walking, though cranks like Rupa Huq and Mark Pawsey have mostly made them irrelevant.

"Nadine's gone off to talk to other people and she'll be back later in the morning." (She's pissed and been taken away to nap it off before she picks any more fights.)

Went to the pub. Played D:Ream on ukuleles when the exit poll came in. :) I don't really give a shit about Reform Ltd. Farage will be exposed as the fraud he is under actual Parliamentary scrutiny.

My mate Chris died suddenly and unexpectedly aged 36 in June 2020. While the Tories partied only six people could attend his funeral. Just vote them out. We can worry about holding the next government to account tomorrow.

With two days to go, it was the Hall Green and Moseley hustings last night. I sat in my house and watched it on Facebook. You can read about it here.

Spoiler, our MP didn't turn up so it was a bit pointless.

Someone shared this Google doc with me yesterday – it's pretty in-depth about timings and potential results.

Looking forward to a Tory wipeout so vast the General Election coverage ought to be presented by Richard Hammond and Amanda Byram.

So do I. Never thought to save a screengrab! They're supposed to be non-partisan because they receive public funds and now they're trying to cover their arses. The Chair has always treated it as his personal lobbying vehicle though.

Politically attacking the Labour candidate in a rant for declining the invitation, having the Vice Chair—a LD activist and recent candidate—sign that statement, then claiming a whole day later that it was "published in error", after the candidate released their own statement, is just *chef's kiss*.

Watching the Moseley Forum eat itself alive is my lifeblood. They couldn't organise a piss-up in the proverbial, never mind a hustings. Who chooses the night of an England game at the Euros then gets arsey when none of the candidates can make it and nobody wants to go?

I'm still irrationally angry about the time a West Ham United fan I was chatting to at Camber Sands in 1999 thought Birmingham was in the Black Forest.

Safeway in Bearwood used to have a coin-op cartoon booth showing old Looney Tunes. Going back 35 years for that. Loved it.

Call me a hippy but I think people should try not to maim or kill cyclists even if they are riding irresponsibly, illegally or in a manner that - while neither irresponsible nor illegal - makes drivers irrationally angry because they've got some weird bee in their bonnet about it.

Could be. We've got three independents all campaigning for Palestine. They'll all nick votes off Labour and that'll only help the Lib Dems. Mind, Izzy Knowles wouldn't be a terrible MP.
