Well, there’s that as well. It’s a bloody good argument for turning off mics in a televised hustings apart from the person answering the question. The Tories did it in 2024 as well - Mordaunt went at Rayner hammer and tongs.

Most delusional take yet…

She’s guaranteed to get it wrong, isn’t she?

Stupid stunts in reaction to a cunning stunt?

Isobel is projecting using the phrase "stupid stunts".

.

Quite.

I sat in the garden earlier to enjoy the breeze and listened to the rest is politics podcast with CBF.

My neighbours probably now think I’m odd - I was chuckling away to myself with my headphones one 🤣🤷‍♀️

It's going to take at least another night before the reasonable temperatures set in.

Everywhere is a tinderbox. That's not a metaphor.

Both da and I haven’t been well the last 2 days.

Yesterday I was washed out with a headache and slept until mid afternoon on and off. Then felt better.

Ds said he had a headache this morning and his legs are very stiff and slept on and off all morning.

He fell Al sleep in the bath for 2 hours - but he’s knocked the plug out and so just slept in the empty bath 😂🤷‍♀️

Here it is @BIossomtoes your dose of Crace for today

There’s a nasty thing going round, we had it the other week. Felt Covid-y. Came with a side order of Doom and Gloom. Hope you both feel better soon.

And the storm clouds of war ?

Thank you. I enjoyed it just as much as I expected. I can’t stand Owen Jones but his article was almost as much fun.

That's my nerves shot. Glad I wasn't using my sharp knife 🫨

And me 😂

We got two for the price of one. The Welsh version came first and I couldn't make all of it out. Was panicking slightly that the wildfires had reached us.

It’s the quickest I’ve moved for days 😂

🤣

Just had a phone alert system go off here, apparently we shouldn't light fires.. I was ready to grab the dog and leave.

They need to save those bloody things for when they are really needed.

The cat is fuming. Jumped nearly out of his fur and is now glaring at me like a Reform supporter at an IPSOS poll.

We have had loads of wildfires where I am because people, including young kids, have been behaving atrociously. Five houses burned down. I think it was needed, it might make the idiots think again.

That was my first thought, too.

The idiots probably have the alerts disabled.

Get a grab bag ready. All important stuff an don't leave the house.

Been smelling the fires from Stoke, even though it's 20 miles away.
