Going back to office chat, I was talking to our head of facilities last week and he agreed that the 'middle ground' of office space is dead: in future, there'll be snazzy, premium-quality city centre premises for seeing clients and important meetings and cheap, warehouse style places where they want to pack in call centre staff etc. The classic open plan office won't be coming back: my own company has found over the past 2 years that we get on perfectly fine with next to no staff actually onsite and the directors frankly enjoy WFH and avoiding long commutes just as much as the rest of us.

Basically, there's going to be an awful lot of mediocre flats half-arsedly converted from offices hitting the market over the coming years.

JRM and Nadine Dorries are the only people who are really batting for Boris.

Talking of which, she gave yet another car crash interview for C4 news, and she hadn't sobered up since the last car crash interviews.

I suppose Harold Shipman, Jimmy Savile and Vlad the Impaler were all unavailable to help.
A fairly well known person from the Leicester music scene just got convicted for a laundry list of being a massive nonce, far worse than originally rumoured after all those posts came out during the first Leicester lockdown, so maybe the Prince will want him on his legal team too, because nobody loving wants him here and I doubt Lincolnshire does either.

No, it's even stupider. Johnson could be holding up a huge sign saying "I am not telling the truth" and under parliamentary rules you still can't call him a liar.

As far as I know it's pure decorum. There's a huge, mostly archaic list of unparliamentary language MPs aren't allowed to use. Even if Johnson had been proved to have lied, MPs can't call him a liar in the commons.

As far as I know you are just flat out not allowed to say other MPs are liars, even if they provably are. It goes past decorum and more into "the system of government is constitutionally incapable of acknowledging reality"

There was an MP during last week's PMQ's who was able to call Boris a liar a few times by quoting what a constituent had said to them. That's about as far as you get.

I am enjoying the live feed, which appears to be alternating entries between

:( : grieving family member describes how their mother died scared and alone

:) : a tory source tells us 'another Brilliant Barnstorming performance by Bulldog Boris, he's played a Blinder'

:( : these red wall swing voters say it's unbelievable how politicians could be smiling and laughing about this terrible thing

:) : a tory source tells us 'Boris has got the party onside, we were all smiling and laughing in the meeting'

She'd be tucked up in bed long before Newsnight came on, I bet she has a really sensible bedtime after a mug of Horlicks.

Ugh I've been invited to do an assessment for a job and I have to have a webcam on. I've ordered one because honestly these days if you want to remote-work you probably need one but goddamn I've gone all these years without one. I would much rather do this thing on my main PC than poke at my iphone.

Still, got to second-stage of the application, that's kinda nice.

Nah, rub salt on it, scrub it hard in cold water.

I remember giving this advice to a friend at university who'd had a nosebleed and he laughed at me and said 'How would *you* know how to get bloodstains out?'. I had to explain about periods.
