I made the mistake of thinking I could go from five days at the farm, straight back to Frome on the first train out (with no sleep overnight), kip a bit at Frome, then launch straight into the 23 hour journey back to Melbourne. Err, no. Not at 46. I arrived back feeling OK, but once I'd done the essentials (shower, unnpack, laundry, food), it hit me. After night one, I had a shocking sore throat and total fatigue; tell-tale signs for you know what. But the test said negative, and I think I just picked up a cold at some point either at the festival or on the plane(s) home. Last night was the worst - proper fever and bad headache. The drinks celebrating the election result won't have helped.

LCD looks amazing on TV. A bit too much focus on pretty people from the director, but still great. 😄 -
Just the latest episode in ‘Noel Gallagher’s a right d*ck’ isn’t it? He’s just an unpleasant, tiny little man who gets far too much air time for his views which are always wrong-headed. It’s kind of mind blowing that all along, actually Liam is the good one, and he’s the twat - cos it really didn’t seem possible that could be true - but it bloody is. Noel the reactionary Tory w*nker.

I fully agree here. My main thing about ignoring the "share of the vote" comparisons to Corbyn, is that I dislike the "right side of history" stuff talked about from his ardent supporters. I don't think "winning the argument" matters as much as putting meals in the mouths of impoverished children. Labour gets to do that from power, and I do think that Rayner, Reeves, and Phillipson have the combination of talent and empathy to deliver that. I do have questions over what else they'll get done, good and bad. I don't trust Streeting as far as my skinny arms could throw him, and the various things he's said about wanting more private investment in the NHS and that PIF deals didn't go far enough have scared me, even aside from his transphobia and general obnoxiousness. Him aside, I think the cabinet is pretty talented, and will generally be good at the briefs and jobs they've been given. I fear what they'll do on the culture war stuff, and I fear what Starmer's authoritarian bent will lead to, on human rights both here and abroad, on immigration, on protests, and on desperately needed reform of our police. The main thing though, is that I've credited both Lib Dems and Greens with a very well-run tactical campaign to extract seats and relevance against a biased media under our backwards electoral system. I feel like it'd be quite hypocritical to ignore that Starmer has succeeded in turning a low vote share into a huge majority. I'll credit him and Labour for the tactics in utilising the system effectively, and now I want to see that turned into a positive impact on society - including a proposal for electoral reform in the 2029 manifesto.
