Draft three-year soft life vision outlines full of tiny daily micro-steps, support quiet goal-chasers sincerely, hike tree trails; wait patiently through invisible slow silent life growth cycles fully each week.

If England win tonight is the Met prepared for the Norwegian riots in London that will follow?

Global Warming is getting serious. It’s the first time since my records begin that I’ve had the heating on in June.

Murrell was allegedly trousering cash to fund “a lavish lifestyle”. You might think that Mrs Murrell might have been slightly curious.

Are there any normal, sane political parties and politicians left? All seem to have been gripped with some collective madness and I’d not trust any of them to sit on a toilet the right way round, much less run the country.

Why is the @coinbase app so dreadful? I’m new to crypto so I’m nervous - I’ve never yet had an @coinbase transaction go smoothly - can’t log in, try later, purchase failed etc etc. online support useless and slow. Need to move to 212 or somewhere if I’m going to invest properly.

Blimey -we’ve had an Easter message from Angela Rayner but not the king.

Do we actually have a government? If so, what are they doing? Smashing gangs? De-escalating the Middle East? Something else? I can’t see them.

When Labour was hounding members of the then Tory government for any discretion I remember thinking “You’d better be whiter than white if you win the election”. They’re not and they’re reaping what they sowed.

Why are MPs of all parties so rich? I get it when they’ve left office - books, lectures etc - but how does a serving MP on £90k or even a Cabinet Minister on £160k get to be multi- millionaires whilst in office?

In my lifetime there have been a few PMs who were Leaders. Wilson, Thatcher, Blair - whatever you thought of it they had a vision that they pursued. The rest have been Managers. Sadly, Starmer isn’t even that. I have no idea what his plan is or what he’s doing to achieve it.

The NHS is now advising people not to go out in the morning or evening to avoid slipping in the snow. They should also wear a hat and keep hands free in case they fall over. We’re paying for this bollocks

Is the government doing anything - anything at all - to stop the boats?

We have a govt that focuses on mean, petty and largely irrelevant stuff like fox hunting and school fees whilst doing nothing about important things like controlling immigration and growing the economy.

I’m not against immigration but nearly 1 million in a year? That’s Birmingham. 5 yrs = Scotland. 9 yrs = London. Is there anybody from any political party who think that’s sustainable?

The government can relax planning rules all it wants but unless there are buyers developers won’t build houses. 3 months in and mortgage rates are up and housebuilders shares down. Not a hope in hell the govt will get 3 million houses built.

Why on earth would the Labour Party send members to the US to assist Kamala Harris? Not only is it probably illegal but have they considered the effect on relations if Trump wins?

“Envoy to the Regions and Nations?” Sounds like a Victorian imperialist role. Sir Kier’s Viceroy to the Empire.

In Central London now. Roads closed,police everywhere,market stalls down Whitehall flogging Palestinian tat to mug punters,kids in keffiyahs taking selfies on Montgomery’s statue. Why? Another Palestinian ‘March’.

So - it’s OK to put your son up in an £18 million penthouse to help him do his exams but it’s not OK to send your son to a fee paying school. Hmmmm…….
