I must admit I have been to a coffee bar in London

I do hope so

Frédéric Moreau @goodclimate Stephen Kinnock, married to the former PM of Denmark, is on LBC talking with contempt about “people who go to coffee bars in London

“Does your granny always tell ya That the old songs are the best Then she’s up and rock ‘n’ rolling with the rest”

This lyric made sense when I was a kid, because Granny’s old songs weren’t rock and roll songs.

They are now.

Labour politicians who say ‘we had a disastrous night’…

No…. you had a disastrous 2 years or a disastrous 4 years - you did not have a disastrous single night

Best of British to you if you’re doing this #StarWars triple bill thing tonight

My word of the day today is ‘razzmatazz’
