It's beyond rational explanation. You have thirty years of relative success with Plan A. You then have forty years veering between Plan A and Plan B. With Plan A you have some success, including your best ever. With Plan B you always have your worst failures. So what does common sense tell you is the best plan to stick to?

I'm reminded of Magic Grandad tweeting about some fair trade farming cooperative in Bolivia the very same week Marcus Rashford was pressuring the government to feed starving schoolkids in this country.

You'd have to have been around left wing politics a long time to join the dots on that one. Burnham's was funnier and I have never heard the Courteeners

To my understanding, Magic Grandad was tweeting about his pet projects rather than commenting on actual, literal, starving children on these shores. I may well have got the wrong end of Burnham's stick in which case I apologize for wasting everyone's time (Mondays eh?)

I took it as a nice way of saying that he couldn't care less.

I took it to be a Dave Spart point of order that controlling the means of production and not charity will conquer child hunger.

I thought it was a thicko with a tin ear for nuance.

Well, what a nice change to wake up to some good news from Batley.

Galloway is whinging about getting the result overturned (and we all remember how well it went for the last person to try to go to court over election results), and how joyous to see Anne Marie Waters and Jayda Frantsen only pick up double digit totals, and beaten by the Monster Raving Loonies.

Same with the Heritage Party.

Galloway’s developed a Robert Maxwell sized obsession with court action threats. He has had some well deserved victories but now its his default reaction.

I see it more as a go fund me campaign for the deluded.

Not always my favourite MP, but credit where it's due.

Jess turns her hand to film criticism. Gerald Kauffman wrote eloquently on cinema. And wasn’t pissed when he did it.

I think you'll find that Tweet refers to earlier Tweets that she had never seen the Godfather films, and her son had persuaded her to watch them. So she provided a commentary?

I don't see where you get any indication of inebriation.

Charlotte Nicholls appearing at the Semi-FInal is corruption.

Who is Mic (sic) Wright, and why should anyone care what he Tweets?

Yes, we know there's grift and corruption amongst some MPs but are they all supposed to ignore the outside world?

Yeah, this is unfair, as far as I can see. Dots are slyly joined to suggest Nicholls is being corrupt and bad for public health. Has she actually called for premature unlocking of pubs? I've never noticed if she has.

How do we know she's not in that group because she cares about successful pubs being sold off for development or something? I'd certainly be interested in joining that group for that that reason.

She worked for 2 trade unions before becoming an MP and all. Unless those unions were spectacularly bad judges of character, or she's spectacularly easy to bribe, I think she probably does consider the well being of bar staff.
