Finished @Ironman_UK. Very happy to have got around in one piece, with no major hiccups and keeping a smile on my face (or a grimace...). Hearing those words "David Jeffery, you are an #ironman" made it all worth while. (The hardest part was staying off Twitter for 14 hours.)
Nobody is turning up the thermostat on migration - the public are just becoming increasingly aware of its dire consequences. Put your head in the sand as deep as you want, the genie isn't going back into the bottle.
And who turned up the thermostat?
"Could Britain shut X down?" "Britain has the power to shut down any platform." As new rules aim to shield children online from pornographic & harmful content, @bbcpaddy presses Science & Tech Secretary Peter Kyle on how far the government is willing to go. #Newsnight

It’s not called Your Party!
The Tories should have been much more shameless about this - full zoning reform in mib/medium cities where a) the demand is, and b) where their voters aren't. Leave the shires untouched. Win YIMBYs in cities, and NIMBYs in villages.

I'm not saying this is my notebook, but the signs are there...

A big day for my parkrun obsession as both MamaJ and I make it into the Tawd Valley race report (and they spelt my name properly😍). Is this fame?
Has the quality of MPs ever been lower than it is today?
Guarantee this will be met by the usual suspects with complaints about 'losing our traditions' & 'erasing our history'. It's a wax seal..... grow up!
Do you guys know any books or movies with an unreliable narrator who gets more and more unreliable as the story goes on untill you slowly discover they're actually detached from reality?
