theguardian.comFarage has turned Clacton into a human zoo. Here’s the truth about what’s happening here | Sarah Elizabeth CoxWhen I moved to the town in 2022 I loved the beach walks, cheap drinks and panoramic coastal views. Now it feels like a never-ending circus, says historian Sarah Elizabeth Cox

Found this in a Clacton charity shop earlier. Who made it? What for? Many questions. And no it didn't say Ride a Cowboy on the back. Maybe it was part of a set though πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ That's a Vaseline lip balm in my pocket by the way, I'm not just pleased to see you.

A Grand Designs where it takes so long that the Eastern European home builder develops an Edinburgh accent in the process is the best sort πŸ˜‚ How lovely!

Suella Braverman selling 106 copies of her book after all that publicity is so delicious.

Crack 'em while you can, though, because Suella's star might just be on the skids. Despite plugging her book on Question Time, on Tim Shipman's Spectator podcast, in serialised excerpts in the Daily Mail, and in a fawning interview with Allison Pearson in the Telegraph, in its opening weekend, Patriot sold precisely 106 copies.

β€” from Ian Winwood’s New World piece.

Ah I know, thank you πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌ His dad lives off processed meat and a pack of cigarettes a day so will no doubt outlive me by decades. No, seriously, I will definitely take these things seriously, I promise! πŸ™‚

The Will Men addressed me as 'Madam' today. I pointed at my sleeping child, muttered 'I've got nothing left to leave him' and stumbled out of there, to our chaotic administrative fate.

Would sell my soul to the Devil to even sniff a Lidl bakery counter hazelnut brioche.

Hah I haven't but that's a GREAT title πŸ˜‚ I always used to do weights but got more into cardio after having my kid (lost 40+lb of 'baby weight' through walking and cross trainer!!) and now need to get back into it and get a good balance of the two. Weights are SO much more satisfying!

This is literally the first time in almost 40yrs I have seen the word gonk or had any knowledge of what is a gonk, thank you for your service.

@oispooky.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 7:26 AM

By 'a while' I mean less than a month, it just feels like 600yrs.

Been on a no bread, lower wine, high protein, lots of gym light weightlifting regime for a while and I'm absolutely gutted to report that I look and feel excellent other than occasionally feeling like I want to do quite serious crimes. Way fewer crumbs to clean up in the kitchen too. Annoying.
