I’ve been away for a few days. In my absence, nearly-12 year old son has discovered Father Ted. He made us tea tonight and will only speak in Mrs Doyle’s voice. This is the reason I had children.

I have spent most of today recovering from slight panic induced by eating beetroot yesterday. Phew.

Boris Johnson is the British Prime Minister.

It’s so ridiculous that you keep having to say it to remind yourself it’s true. Try not to have nightmares, friends.

Small point: every time I was called 'chicken' as a kid, it was because I wouldn't do something staggeringly stupid that would likely lead to arrest, injury or death. I'm personally very fond of the word 'chicken'. It reassures me that I'm doing something right.

Anyone who thinks a no deal Brexit is OK is not paying attention, doesn’t eat fresh food, doesn’t need medication, has lots of fx to hedge against sterling and couldn’t care less about people’s jobs. There. I said it.

There may be a General Election soon. If you’re thinking about holding your nose and voting for this party, please consider this evidence of the rotten seam of contempt that runs right through their heart. We’ve all got to stop buying the lie that Boris is a pragmatic choice. https://t.co/Pq61keEND2
