Just bid *and won* at my first auction. Pathetically exciting. All the money goes to keeping the French House alive and kicking. There's some beautiful stuff there

It's all very very French House.
I can't recommend this enough. It's the best TV you'll see all day.
Had to really stop myself from bidding on these

Minor shadow Cabinet reshuffle in the end.
Rayner made, well, lord of all sorts of stuff: Deputy Leader, Shadow First Secretary of State, Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Shadow Secretary of State for the Future of Work.
Dodds goes from shadow chancellor to Party Chair & Chair of Labour Policy Review. Rachel Reeves takes her old job.

A few siren voices say Labour should just give up on the Red Wall, as it can't win it back and anyway shouldn't appeal to those values. That would be suicide.
First electorally. Let's say everything went right for Labour at the next election: SNP taking seats off Tories, Lib Dems securing LD-Tory marginals, some rapidly liberalising suburban seats going Labour.
They would still need Red Wall seats. And certainly they'd need to not lose any more. That's the only way to remove Johnson from power, let alone get a majority.

I love London's mayoral voting system: it's the perfect mix of idealism and pragmatism. First preference vote for the candidate you like best. Second preference vote to the one most likely to win.
After a lifetime in the deranged bullshit straightjacket of first-past-the-post, it's so liberating. You can express your *actual preference* without having to worry that you'll let in someone even worse.
There's a little bit of confusion over this tweet, which on election day isn't ideal. So let me put it simply.

We shouldn’t be going on holiday. And people who are going on holiday should not be coming here.

My latest for @theipaper

inews.co.uk/opinion/chile-…
People's response to this is often: If not now, then when? And I think the answer to that is very simple. It is September. When the UK and Europe are fully vaccinated.
The Chilean example is sobering. You can have a successful vaccine programme and still have to lockdown in the face of a new covid wave. That wave won't be as bad as the last one, because of the vaccines. But it'll be bad enough to force a lockdown.

Calling HMRC is like slowly inserting pins into your fucking eyes.
They get shit wrong. They send you stroppy letters about things you've already paid, with eye-watering financial penalties for things you did not do.
Then when you call, a robot uses up ten minutes of your time asking you a series of questions before telling you that they're too busy to take the call.

I don't want to be that guy. I mean I literally don't: I want a beach holiday more than I can possibly describe. But we shouldn't be going abroad and we shouldn't be having people come here for tourism either.
It sucks. This entire situation is an unspeakable piece of shit. But we're at the point of getting our day-to-day freedoms back. Variants threaten to send us back to square one. I'd take the freedom of living normally in the country over the freedom to go on holiday.
The travel list system is completely inadequate and is anyway implemented too late to keep out variants, as the India decision recently demonstrated. At home, test and trace isn't run effectively and people aren't paid to isolate.
