I was surprised to find he was still alive when he popped up on telly yesterday. He must have been a teenager when he was head of Labour.

Parents telling me what a shame their Tory mp is out because she's so great, before segueing into how you can't get a doctors appointment and the roads are terrible.

So there was a first class, and quite a nice one, but they had sent us to the wrong end of the train. Can't believe I had to travel with peasants.

Sadly this isn't true of the minister with libraries in their portfolio (culture) but I'm pleased for others.

I like the appointment, but how is James Timpson a minister? He's neither an MP nor a Lord is he?

The other surprising thing is that many appointees have some kind of expertise or practical experience relating to their role.

Real mixed bag of backgrounds in the cabinet. I don't think I can remember this many working class in the cabinet ever. And not a single Etonian/Harovian/Wykhamist.

Popped out and got a test at lunch time and it's showing negative. Might wear a light cotton mask to be on the safe side.

My mum phoned me to say I must get on the train at once (have train booked for 6) and everything was a disaster. 10 minutes later she texted to say her train was moving again and everything's fine.

Problems on the trains to Edinburgh. Can't believe Starmer hasn't sorted the railways out yet. He's had a couple of hours in office, what has he been up to? 😡

No, I agree. It will take a long time. But that's not related to competence.

Not sure I'm even joking. I mean, the parking fine that led to me selling my car was generated by problems in government records management. You don't notice when it does work, but you certainly notice when it doesn't. And right now, much of it doesn't.

BBC reporting one Starmer's big changes at the CPS was to improve records management, and I've never been more excited for the country.

Oh I remember the post now. Someone had to cancel a meeting at work yesterday for non specific lurgy, so I guess it's going round here. Although my part of the building is pretty well ventilated, the buses aren't.

In other other news, I am decreasingly able to pretend that I am not Coming Down With Something. Trying to persuade myself it is mildly curtailed sleep, but I'm not sure how that would cause sore throat and sneezing. Major family do this weekend...

Is anyone doing any work? I'm not, but there's literally no-one else working at first floor level today, so it's hard to judge.

Actually they could start giving the two main parties as much coverage as they give to Reform.

On this day in 1948 the new National Health Service was launched. This issue of the Nursing Times described it as a 'comprehensive service made possible by the State for its citizens, not as a form of charity, but as their right.' Happy Birthday to the NHS! #nhs76

Through my childhood, on election nights, my dad was the man under Peter Snow’s desk putting interesting facts on notecards into his socks. That’s how it was done before Google, kids. You got a very clever ASD man with some Oxford degrees to just remember interesting constituency histories.
