At the time of writing, there were five political parties between 10-25% in a Westminster voting intention poll. FPTP is dead; and if Starmer doesn't want to be the one responsible for Reform getting >50% of MPs with <30% of votes, he has to call a referendum on PR voting.

Yes, we have some serious problems in the UK, but at least we didn't make Jimmy Savile Prime Minister after he'd attempted a coup against the state and then let him appoint all his creepy mates to plum government jobs before attempting to destroy the international political order

There should be a mandatory GCSE in Life Skills. By the time you leave school you should know how to change a car wheel, wire a plug, stop a dripping tap, how to wallpaper and paint, being able to cook simple meals from scratch, alongside financial skills like budgeting.

As yet another UBI trial rolls past showing that it works really well, it's hard not to conclude that the main reason nobody adopts it is because bad employers don't want to give up their leverage over the desperate and poor to work in shit conditions for pittance.

Amidst all these Tory to Reform defections, Ed Davey should be talking to the 20 or so most liberal Tory MPs who, if they defected en masse, would make him Leader of the Opposition as he'd be in charge of the second largest party in the commons.

Takeaway and delivery restaurants should use proper stainless steel containers and collect them, so they can be used again. If there was a national standard for the containers they could be returned to any restaurant, or even supermarkets, for recycling.

A great way of checking if your favourite celebrity is an establishment posho who has been gifted their life on a plate is to check what their siblings do.

In any male-dominated workplace or industry, the women who do work there will on average be more competent than the men. This is obvious if you understand statistical probability and gender bias.

Social media feels like it's on its way out. It used to be a good way to connect with people you know, but it's turned into a swamp of fake posts created for engagement, people trying to make money of these, bots, and seems to host an ever increasing number of cunts.

The UK government is ineffective and the PM is unpopular. But there are loads of bills and laws being made all the time, many hugely consequential, that no one is talking about let alone scrutinising because political journalism is court intrigue based.

To attack the BBC is to attack British culture. We all have criticisms but to go after them again and again and again is an agenda. Just like it is with attacks on the National Trust. By the same people funnily enough. How many more British institutions are they going after?

Whoever it was at BBC iPlayer who added that extra second before you can "skip trailer" should be smothered with honey and thrown into a bear pit. Along with the cunt who programmes "This operation is not available" into DVD trailers.

Darth Vader is a scouser - dresses in shiny material, talks weird. Han Solo is a Manc - has a swagger and a mate with a mad haircut. Yoda is Cornish - a funny accent and mixes his words. Luke is from North London - overly confident, has an interest in incest.

Multiple societies in the past all separately came to the conclusion that charging interest on a loan was morally wrong, sinful, or even illegal. Punishable by death in some cases. Yet now we've done a complete 180 and decided it's the glue that holds the world together.

I don't care if it's satellite or streaming but there should be a channel that only shows Doctor Who and Doctor Who commentary 24/7. The only thing better than watching an episode is listening to people discuss it: script, acting, direction, effects and more.

It's now obvious we shouldn't let businessmen or rich people into positions of power. Duty becomes self-enrichment. Stewardship becomes exploitation. Policy becomes insider trading.

Denmark should invade the USA. The security implications for Greenland would be roughly the same and the USA would finally have some sensible policies on firearms, health, workers rights, public transport and so on. It would be win-win really.
