Sir Jim Fatcat... is that anything? #ThePolitics

Jim Ratcliffe is nothing more than a super-remunerated Gillian Duffy. #ThePolitics

I, however, have full confidence in both Carrick and Big Sir Offshore Jim to continue with the SMASHING jobs they've been doing in M16. (If BSOJ hasn't necessarily permanently been there in person.) #TheFootball #ThePolitics

Michael Carrick, temporarily cacking himself when Big Sir Offshore Jim said "I've lost confidence in...." #TheFootball #ThePolitics

It's not even in Lisa Nandy's remit, unless she's (somehow) considering it a piece of performance art. #ThePolitics

Normally I stay silent about the well-meaning 'there is no place for violence in #ThePolitics ' posts but if there are people actively doxing RNLI volunteers so that they can be intimidated: whoo boy, there's definitely a place for violence there.

I think it was that LibDem councillor in Portsmouth jumping on the "Why did they* insist on bringing the dinghy to here" train that has broken me with #ThePolitics

*'They' might be those shadowy figures in the RNLI, or I might need to put echoes around the 'they'. Choose your poison.

So tired of #ThePolitics and the state of the world that I'm actually looking forward to rewriting a technical procedure.

I've been donating to the RNLI for years - had done whenever I visited the seaside, but set up a monthly donation when Mr "oh, where's that five million quid come from?" started his not-so-much-dog-whistle-as-klaxon railing against them.

That fucking plane...

The notion of a government party having a think-in is ridiculous. #ThePolitics

With the amount of policies (*spluttering 60-cigs-a-day cough*) imported by Reform from the US - when will they advocate introducing the freedom to discharge automatic firearms on the streets of Salisbury? #ThePolitics

"I'm quitting to spend more time with my money."

"And my family, if I must."
