Admittedly not quite QAnon but, at the risk sounding like a conspiracy theorist, what exactly is Project 2025, a document that has been referred to as ‘a second American revolution’ and why is it being featured in the US news more and more?
No, not another of Rachel Reeves’s pre-budget fiscal black holes but the number of people now on Earth, and it’s set to increase further still, at a staggeringly fast rate.
Okay, so following last night’s final Tory MP’s electoral vote, the party has confirmed the two candidates to be submitted to its 120,000 membership are Honest Bobby, a man with more faces than Jim Carrey and KemiKaze, a woman so angry she picks fights with her own reflection.
It’s hard to say the honeymoon is over as it never really got underway. Mind, a rocky-start isn’t necessarily a sign of a weak government. Looking back through recent history Tony Blair stumbled with a donations row involving Bernie Ecclestone and Margaret Thatcher’s early period in office was characterised by infighting and widespread confusion.
In an ironic twist to Blair’s upbeat and positive arrival in office, Sir Keir’s signature tune appears to be ‘things can only get worser!’ and his post-election speeches have started to cast dark shadows over potential plans and ambitions.

If, like many, you’re suffering from withdrawal symptoms of Olympian proportions, fear not as I am here to bring great news: I hereby formally claim, for King & country, that the modern Olympics are all ours, they’re British, and I assuredly place the Union Jack in the firm rump of all competing athletes.
Our housing crisis has been decades, if not generations, in the making and it’s widely accepted that new houses and large-scale infrastructure projects are critical for future economic growth and prosperity but how did we get to this point and can Labour build any better?
I didn’t realise that up until the mid 60s, the ballot paper in general elections displayed only the candidates’ names, not their party affiliation. The idea behind this was that it actively encouraged voters to find out more about their prospective honourable parliamentary member and that you would then genuinely place your X for whoever you thought would best represent you in the corridors of power.
