Internet Old Man, sorry. Films, music, games, photography, cats. Frequently fails to quit that politics addiction.

Through my childhood, on election nights, my dad was the man under Peter Snow’s desk putting interesting facts on notecards into his socks. That’s how it was done before Google, kids. You got a very clever ASD man with some Oxford degrees to just remember interesting constituency histories.

The BBC’s “Seats Changed” map is wild. You can now walk from the coast of North Devon up to Bicester and then down to Eastbourne without ever leaving newly Lib Dem seats. Tired: The Blue Wall Wired: The YELLOW SNAKE

Hey. If you have ever been somewhere near David Tennant and are semi-randomly approached to see if you have any anecdotes about David Tennant, assume it's enemy action. Sorry for vagueness.

Well, that exit poll is a let down, from the last few MRPs.

The Rt Hon Sir Graham Brady PC? Just one last little fuck you to the country. Thank God they’re leaving in a few hours.

Celebrate the last fourteen years of the Tory government with this commemorative limited edition print. Remember and never forgive the five prime ministers, several Chancellors and Home Secretaries who drove this country into a sewage-filled ditch. DM for more details.

Wow. More In Common’s latest MRP still has us in Chesham & Amersham (a seat that went LD in the by-election and is absolutely bombarded with our signs, leaflets and online ads) going back to the Tories with a 9k majority. I think it’s a bit broken.

On BBC 4 this morning a guy from the electoral commission was saying if your postal vote form turns up but there's no time to post it back, you can fill it all in and give it to someone else to take it with them when they go to vote in person. They can take up to 5.

Fuck all about women's rights is the answer. Nothing about equal pay, opportunities, training, childcare, reproductive rights, *actual* sexual predation (rather than theorical), domestic abuse, menopausal support or mental health. But a whole heap of bullshit about toilets.

What are the parties saying about women's rights and gender identity?

Gah. Thought, since it’s Too Bloody Hot to do anything energetic, we’d have a bit of Family Destiny 2. But the spare Xbox (child’s is still at college) didn’t have The Final Shape. Time for it to download on the One S is about 12 hours. So I guess that’s not happening.

Thoroughly enjoying one of my favourites, Mr David Tennant, being extremely relaxed about saying things which are true.

Can someone please remind me that I should not buy Elden Ring, because as incredible as the vibes look I have played and bounced off Dark Souls (three times), Bloodborne (twice) and Demons Souls Remake (once), so won’t actually be able to play it.

God, Starmer really is a worthless excuse for a politician. “Oh, but he’s our only option for PM” I know. And I’m furious about it.

Just a reminder of what Starmer thinks "isn't nice enough". Apparently Tennant should be so much more polite about someone who wants to legislate someone from his family and people like them from public life.

Oh fuck off you spineless coward.

Thank goodness social media has irrevocably splintered; the volume of “don’t you think she looks tired” takes would have been unbearable on Old Twitter.

*Transphobe voice* We are NOT Tories, we are actually VERY liberal, it's just that we take it extremely personally if the father of a trans kid makes fun of a Tory minister & hopes that her power stops being a thing & also we hate Angela Rayner like the Tories do & also we're going to vote Tory
