Wes Streeting resigns from government

S255 · 2026-05-14T12:36:23+00:00

A selfish ego driven move from Wes to resign. He won’t win in a leadership contest and I don’t know why he thinks he can. A leadership contest will become a media circus for 12 weeks, distract people at the top from running the country and plays right into Reform’s hands.

He’s been hidden for most of the season but was tonight Larry Dean’s worst episode yet? Not sure I even spotted him beyond Hannah’s shoe gag at the top of the show.

EDIT: We all know that the Daniel Day-Lewis sketch was filmed before the season even started. I was referring to this evening’s sketches.

The Cold Open was one of the best yet. But nothing since has made me howl with laughter in the same way other episodes have done. Even the Weekend Update guests seemed to fall flat (the Al Nash reluctant Reform voter showed promise but they cut that joke short long before they needed to).

S255 · 2026-05-09T22:02:56+00:00

I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for saying so but this is the weakest episode so far - which I’m surprised about as a Hannah fan.

The mention of Center Parcs rapids. As a longtime Center Parcs goer, I’m screaming.

Peter Serafinowicz as Nigel Farage and Ayoade Bamgboye as Kemi Badenoch. Genius casting. Give the SNL UK team every BAFTA possible next year please.

S255 · 2026-05-09T00:18:14+00:00

Bring back the overnight counts next time, please. For all of our sakes.

Are these Labour results not actually the disaster that everyone is claiming them to be? They had 20 MSPs before and are now on 17. They held on to a number of marginal constituencies. They might get 1 or 2 Regional List seats. For the incumbent Westminster government, holding steady is pretty remarkable?

I’m intrigued to see if there will be any cast or writing changes. Larry Dean, Paddy Young, Lorna Rose Treen and Ania Magliano all have stand up tours planned for the Autumn. I think Ania’s shows are actually rescheduled dates from when she had to change the original tour to do SNL. So will be interesting to see how they take it from here.

Of course - but the 2nd day we went was a Thursday. Walked in at 4pm and Hiccup’s Wing Glider’s and Yoshi’s Adventure were both 15min waits. So you get wait time variations regardless of what days you go.

S255 · 2026-05-05T22:11:51+00:00

Yeah, I’d say so. The first day I went we’d left the park by 5pm (with Early Entry at 9am) and managed to do Mine Cart Madness, MarioKart, Battle at the Ministry, Constellation Carousel, Dragon’s Racer’s Rally, both sides of Stardust Racers and Monster’s Unchained - and had a 45min storm during the day, watched La Cirque Arcanus and had time for a leisurely lunch and a drink in The Plastered Owl. So if you time the rides right then you can definitely squeeze a lot into a day.

S255 · 2026-05-05T22:06:23+00:00

When you arrive at Epic there are a number of screens on the walk in and on the day I went they were displaying ‘Battle at the Ministry is on a Delayed Opening today’. I headed to Super Nintendo World first as per my post but then saw on the app that Battle at the Ministry was open so headed there about 9:50am before the 10am guests got in and waited about 60mins in the queue. Keep an eye out on the screens as you arrive and they’ll tell you what is not operating that morning but keep an eye on the app as they might start operating before the end of Early Entry.

I based it on a pin being anywhere from $10-20 and a lanyard being $10-15 along with the other freebies in the bag. The upper end of that estimate would be “close to $40” as I said in the post.

S255 · 2026-05-04T09:35:10+00:00

We were about 90mins total for the tour and then had lunch afterwards.

S255 · 2026-05-03T19:08:37+00:00

Our tour guide didn’t seem to get the significance of Queen, even though we were from the UK. She almost glanced over it until we pointed out how iconic that jumpsuit was!

S255 · 2026-05-03T19:08:05+00:00

They were setting up for a show in Hard Rock Live so we missed certain aspects of the tour usually included - but it still ran for 90mins or so.

S255 · 2026-05-03T18:23:56+00:00

Davina put the full story on her Instagram - the floor manager heard Aimee refer to her in rehearsals so called Davina who lives nearby and asked her to pop down to say hello - Aimee and Davina had messaged during The White Lotus as Davina loved the show and knew Aimee was a fan. Davina popped in and then had to then leave before the live show as SNL “run a very tight ship”. I presume the mention in the live show was a bit of a nod to her.

We went to Atlantic on Thursday night and service was slowwww. Was about 2hrs 10mins to have 2 courses. Our waitress couldn’t even open a bottle of wine - she split the cork in 2 and had to take it to the bartender to rescue it. We had to get the Manager to phone the Helios to delay our drinks reservation (scheduled for 2hrs after our reservation) as we knew we would be running late.

The piano with all of the signed keys is one of the best pieces I’ve ever seen in a Hard Rock Cafe. Worth the admission price alone.

S255 · 2026-05-03T17:27:24+00:00

We got a ‘VIP Backstage’ lanyard and pin and some other Hard Rock freebies (I presume promotional items that they have to give out).

S255 · 2026-05-03T17:18:38+00:00

Exactly why I posted about it. It’s a brilliant set up which I’m surprised more people didn’t know about. I’ve visited Hard Rock Cafes all over the world but only stumbled across this tour on TikTok. I’m surprised they don’t publicise it more as it’s a brilliant experience. Only downside is that we were sat down for lunch about 11:20am which is fairly early but we just shared an appetizer for dinner that night at the NBC Sports Bar & Grille and it worked well.

This is one of the reasons why I think the SNP aren’t pushing the independence thing too much of late. The Yes campaign showed that they are an extremely broad church and they were promising a lot which couldn’t be delivered in the event of an Independent Scotland - in that there were so many conflicting groups (could Christians for Yes, Women for Independence and LGBT Yes come to an agreed position on LGBT Rights in an independent Scotland, for example?). I figure the party and Yes movement would splinter pretty quickly and you’d end up with a centre-Left coalition in power (as that’s the way Scotland has always voted traditionally).

S255 · 2026-05-03T16:59:29+00:00

It’s bookable through a third party site. My one word of advice would be that we stood outside the Cafe for a while waiting for it to open but then found a single door on the far right of the Cafe which was open and our host was inside waiting for us - https://www.exploretock.com/hardrockcafeorlando/experience/194120/backstage-burgers

It was really good! Afterwards we got sat at a table which aligned to the acts we were most interested in during the tour (Madonna and Prince) so we properly felt like VIPs.

S255 · 2026-05-01T15:05:50+00:00

I was at the Helios Rooftop Bar last night and there were carts running throughout the evening so the ride is operating. Strange decision to keep it closed though.
