Always worth reminding people that you don’t actually HAVE to call them “Sir…” or “Lord..” because we don’t actually live in Fairy-tale Land, and they should grow up and stop giving themselves silly prizes and expecting the rest of us to play along.

think purdah should extend to social media for the 24 hours before any by-election, not for any valid reason, just because endless speculation is boring
Boris Johnson's resignation statement has the same energy as every single candidate who ever gets fired from 'The Apprentice', and says 'you mark my words, you haven't heard the last of Stephen Arbuthnot.'
At first glance I thought Jeremy Hunt had said he’d bern forced out by a witch

Lovely use of the word “slammed” there @JohnTheJourno
He SLAMMED suggestions that borrowers opting for longer terms could cause a “systemic issue” in the future, emphasising that: “A mortgage term is a financial planning tool &any decent broker will use that to help clients manage their mortgage, not just for the initial purchase”
has any freelancer in the history of self employment ever managed to book themselves the right amount of work for a set period instead of endlessly oscillating between "eh, 2pm cinema it is" and "well I've now said yes to enough things that I may flee to Peru and change my name"
there's something quite child-like about the insistence in some corners of the Conservative party and the press that consequences are inherently unfair, mum why did you take my toys away, I hate you, I *said* I'd clean my room tomorrow, muuuum
I called it! Substack has just announced its own Twitter clone, called “Substack Notes”.
1/ If I were Substack, already home to thousands of content producers and readers with accounts, I’d build out an “activity timeline” function that posts a tweet-style message when a ‘stack makes a new post.

@HolstaT During lockdown, I went from never having looked after children before to caring for twin 3-year-olds solo for 6 hours a day so their parents could work. It was pretty intense! But you know what? Those kids did not go hungry. Because I know how to remove cheese from a fridge.
