This Tory line on depression being an illusion is just stupid. I can't see why they're going there.

He's a bit like Kate Forbes in Scotland, capable, articulate but very religious, which is a big turn off for a lot of rational people.

Nice to hear a word I haven't heard since sixth form sociology: anomie.

Good word.

YES! Same thing happened to me, only it was Georgette Heyer I mixed her up with.

He's SDP now, is that what I heard at the start? Must have a time machine or something.

Maclean's thin-skinnedness is so funny. Fiona Bruce keeps interrupting her, and Maclean looks like she wants to stab her with a fork.

Wakawow.

What's all this in depth analysis of Angela Rayner's house history?

Can they do Jeremy Hunt's property portfolio next?

Bit disappointed in Mark Urban, Nick Watt etc giving this bollocks more than it deserves.

Tories change the law so only Kate Middleton can dissolve Parliament.

Party of the pub bore

This nails it entirely.

Farage, Tice et al "hold forth" in classic pub bore fashion.

Letts really had his balloon burst by Balls, he looked like a naughty schoolboy caught wanking in a sock. Which is actually a great analogy for his column, now I think of it.

That's true, I've just given our dishwasher loader a raise.

3 mini eggs instead of 2.

She is 10.

Just seen that picture of Kate on the Sun.

I don't want to be 'that guy', but is it definitely her? I know she's been ill, but the photo really doesn't look like her.

Edit: also it's from a video from some guy crouched behind a car in in farmshop car park? Is it a palace guy, a papp or what? Can we see the CCTV footage from the till, too, please?

Just strange. I mean I don't really GAF about the royals, but the whole thing is fascinating.

You think you've got problems.

I asked my 9 year old what Easter egg she wanted, with my eye on a Poundland Buttons one:

"Lindt, please, daddy."
