I just realised that I hadn’t pimped it. Feel free to clone, fork, criticise, file issues, send PRs or ignore, as is your want.
@statsguy It's nice to know we have such qualified professionals with no concerning character flaws at the top of government.
@statsguy Braverman, obvs., being a serious thorn to my point. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@statsguy Touché, although I suspect that while Patel, Francois & co are backbenchers, the current leadership aren't yet quite that far right.
I did use "more" with some consideration...
@statsguy Can't speak to the legalities of it, but as ever it's the tory leadership capitulating to the more fascist elements of the party. Great.
@clacksee Oh, this looks interesting!

I heartily approve of the precedent the government is setting in ignoring court rulings that we don't like.
I'm not particularly keen on the amount of tax I pay. So I'm thinking that if I pay less tax, and I end up with a court ruling telling me to pay more tax, I'll just ignore it.
That would be fine, right, Rishi?
I think–with my fairly robust constitution and love of bread–that I would have done quite well in the Middle Ages. Until my back gave in, of course: then I would have been screwed. #ShowerThoughts

I gave the missus a gift card for a visit for her recent birthday. Still need to arrange the actual visitation though. That’s what comes of living in the sticks…
