My cat is weirdly intelligent such that people sometimes don't believe me about the things she does. One morning I caught her loving with my alarm clock and I'm sure she was trying to wake me up. That said she's still a tiny furry idiot who frequently falls in the recycling bin.
Animals recognise things that get your attention - my father in law used to have a nokia with the SOS notification tone, and his bird (a sun parrot called Chopsy) would mimic it because she saw that when the phone made that noise it got attention, so she copied it.

Eventually he got rid of the phone and she started to 'forget' the noise and eventually would just give 3 loud skwawks whenever she wanted anything.

But yeah, your cat was probably like "I want human awake, do the thing."

Chucking themselves in the bin is pretty intelligent for a cat. People always say they're a lot less dependant on humans to sort them out I suppose.

Haven't seen it, but to be fair, Corbyn could do an interview on the best way of making strawberry jam and it would be the cause of major trauma in a centrist's brain.

I'm a twittilliterate so probably stuck myself in a quote cul-de-sac, but to me the vast majority of responses seem to be on Corbyn's side?

It's just a shame he said he's 7 out of 10 on anti semitism thus causing it.

No I think you're right however I have discovered that twitter displays a different selection of replies depending on what it has inferred of one's political bubble. It says there are over 90 replies but I can't see more than a few without signing in (which I have banned myself from doing as it's not good for my blood pressure).

Embrace the resentment towards him for being too nice and not willing to put up a fight in public and that ultimately it's his lack of stomach for that fight as much as anything that has us where we are, with as little hope as we had in 2014. It makes the sadness go away

But it’s not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I’ll find him for three, but I’ll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you’ve gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don’t want no volunteers, I don’t want no mates, there’s too many captains on this island.

Yeah, he thinks this is all over nothing, boys having a joke - though polls show 60-70% of people think he should be gone already.
He's stocked parliment with his own lackeys, so he's happy to just get them to vote to keep kicking the can down the road and hope people forget.

Then there will be another fine, another picture, another report, because the man is a walking scandle.

I truly believe that if/when the establishment Tory voters desert Boris, it will not be because of the parties. It will not be because of the corruption during Covid, or the flipflopping or the policy uturns. It won’t be the cost of living, because that’s rishi’s fault and anyway they’ve never quite trust a man like that, you know.

It’ll be because of Boris’ lack of appropriate discretion, and I think that’s the worst bit. They don’t care what he did. Boys will be boys, boys and their toys, isn’t he good for a laugh, eh? Funny old Boris! But doing it in public? That’s just gauche!

I think that trump demonstrated that there is not really a very significant number of people who are all in on the conservative political agenda but just don't like it being too coarse, and if anything being wholly open about it is actually very appealing to a lot of people, and can certainly be excused if they go harder on the culture war.

John McDonnell was one of those I saw publically turn on Corbyn for his brexit stance and forced him to adopt a new brexit stance with a new referendum, that I believe was a big mistake and cost him the 2019 election. Shoulda let Corbyn do his thing... So I don't think he's all that great a choice either.
