If I thought ISIS were after me I would be deleting my SM accounts, not uploading videos of myself at airports in real time.

That is very worrying. Poor children. I can still remember having measles, it was horrible.

That was a good race. I've got the hockey on at the moment.

It was a bit of a disappointing race for the Brit, but hey ho. They seem good at mucking it up at the last.

The furore about the postponed local elections died down, didn't it? Farage and the Telegraph are whipping it up again with added scaremongering that a general election could being cancelled in the future.

Is he worried that Goodwin shouting from the top deck of a bus isn't appealing to voters?

RIP Palmerston.

He was very handsome wasn't he.

And always in his best bib and tucker.

I'm expecting E J Thribb to rhyme ex-pat with ex-cat.

That was just an awkward and awful video. It was a drive around an industrial estate.

On x Goodwin's posts always come on first. Strange that. Not.

Larry the Cat's views of Liz Truss increased my liking of him.

RIP Palmerston, no idea why he was moved abroad, could have had a nice retirement in Cheapening.

Ooo that’s a good letter. Very reasonable. Very damning.

I’ve been watching solo Bobsleigh. I’m confused as a Cool Runnings fan. It’s nice in the back. But she’s also in the front. Seems a lot of responsibility for one person.

Manchester Mill reported on that. Reform's vetting process still going well.

We have snow and it's settling. Have temporarily abandoned the Winter Olympics in favour of trashy eality TV.
