Don’t know who needs this knowledge and perhaps everyone already knows but It’s Raining Tacos is essentially an arrangement of Pachelbel’s Canon in D

Thought I'd get this out of my system.

The bit I was asking whether you were joking about was “you should do annual reporting” - there is comms coming out the wazoo. If people don’t pay any attention to it, that’s a separate problem.

Turkey's TRT World asked: Is a region-wide war in the Middle East likely? How emboldened are #Yemen's #Houthis? Is there a way out for Riyadh? youtu.be/cq-iG5Kx2Io

I don’t know if you’re joking?? We can’t move for constant comms from the Commission and Parliament about where the money comes from and how it’s spent

It’s the usual Westminster/Whitehall projection where they want desperately to believe that big members states run everything and so behave as if they do. But they don’t. And it’s another sign that the UK has learned nothing and hasn’t changed.

Does… does Ed think you have to negotiate with Germany and France to join the EU?

@ottocr.atOct 15, 2026, 9:27 PM

Ed Balls is a fucking idiot who doesn’t understand how EU accession negotiations work

Also, I thought American politicians weren’t allowed to wear light coloured suits?

Absurd. Unhinged. And breathtakingly dumb. All at the same time. It is moments like these where the UK declines to act like a serious country and falls headlong into self-parody.

I really dont think we talk about this week enough. This week marked THE critical change in Ukraine war: Trump & USA support for Putin has largely been "by ommision" up to now. This week marked the tipping point when the USA moved to *actively* backing Russia in its war. This is now a new era.
