The Rest is Politics

BUT WHAT CAN I DO? – Trying to answer the question so many are asking
Book Number 18 is on its way. Number 17, Living Better, has been moved to the books section of the website, and 'BUT WHAT CAN I DO?' is now here on the front page ... and though I say so myself, I think the central message is needed more than ever. It is that our...

Greet to see four of top five pods are about politics, two for @restispolitics and two for the other one. But as all ABBA fans know @officiallymaitlis The Winner Takes It All. No 1 > all other numbers. Good that @garylineker on LEADING had a run at the top but all good things come to an end. So maybe by tomorrow the current No 1 will be ousted by our latest q and a LINK IN BIO or wherever you get your pods. We cover 🇦🇺 going red, why @ofcom.org.uk needs to get a grip of GB news, why @rorystewartuk is worried about the Tories lurching further to the right. I read out the full list of Tory MPs calling it a day. We discuss why Starmer so hardline on Corbyn. Whether Labour need more excitement. Whether celeb endorsements matter. And I finish (ish) the story I started last week about Blair and Bowie and why Tony wanted to be a rockstar
I have never been so far west in 🏴 before and have been blown away (literally at one point) by how beautiful it is. Love the way so many trees protect the houses like pics 1/2. Giving Tree of the Day to No 1 because of the sea in the background. The coastline is stunning and though the 🏊♀️ earlier was a bit risky maybe so glad we did it.
Really pleased @ediramaal has become the first Albanian PM to be invited on an official visit to the UK. A big man with a big agenda. A three term election winner who despite all 🇦🇱 challenges has modernised his country in a way few could have imagined when he began. Of course crime and the boats issue on the agenda but there is so much else that makes up a strong 🇬🇧 🇦🇱 relationship now and into the future. And though no doubt some Tories will think his voluble support for New Labour as a guide and inspiration to his politics and policies was a dig at them, it was as much a reminder to Labour leaders since New Labour though thankfully @keirstarmer has corrected the imbalance in recent years.
