Good morning Leg’ends,
I am still here. I am still alive. The food poisoning has failed to take me, which means either the meal was innocent, my immune system has finally unionised, or my stomach looked at the available evidence.

Good morning Leg’ends,
A fine day for democracy. Not that the front pages noticed, obviously. Democracy had to stand at the back today, holding its little tote bag, wearing a visitor badge, & asking whether anyone had remembered to validate its parking.

Dear Sarah,
There are live TV interviews, and then there are political crash tests conducted at broadcast speed, with a Sky News camera, a byelection count, and one Reform MP accidentally making the case for silence as an emergency public service.

Good morning Leg’ends,
I hope you’re all well. We did very little yesterday, which was glorious. We sat in the garden, stared at the sky and briefly allowed ourselves to believe that the country could continue without our direct supervision.

Good morning Leg’ends,
Today’s UK weather arrives in two parts: the south and east get warmth, humidity and sunshine, while the north and west get cloud, rain and the sensation of being chased through a car park by a wet estate agent with a clipboard.
