I’m leaving. Properly this time. Come over and see me on BlueSky… https://t.co/FaFFoCP1A1

I thought someone had AI-ed the face of @DaftLimmy on this fella...

@davescook @bitmap_books @MrSidC64 Some of the modern ones, funnily enough. I had heard of it but wasn't aware that 'Binding of Isaac' was a run 'n' gun of sorts... will check it out.

I’m a big fan (and collector) of @bitmap_books output but after a quick skim of this BEAST I’m predicting this might be their best yet. @davescook and @MrSidC64 have pulled a blinder!

[Guy Buckland 🇺🇦 @buckybantam]

@davescook @bitmap_books @MrSidC64 I've given it a thorough going over now and I have to say – despite the upsetting omission of Gremlins 2 on the NES – it's a fantastic tome. Your tone of voice and respect for the genre comes thru loud and clear and the format and graphic design is one of Bitmap's best.

@stevieinselby @BestForBritain I think they mean that they'd be doubling up unnecessarily and so the delegates that the VP would be expected to mop up from their home state would be 'wasted' because they would have already gone to Kamala.

Maybe I was too busy screaming for a second referendum at the time but I've never heard it put in such simple and resonant terms:
"52/48 was a mandate for compromise".
Seems so obvious in hindsight but OF COURSE it was. But was so blinded by the perceived injustice of it all...

Lisa Nandy vs. Malcolm Tucker 😂

What it was like taking on @campbellclaret during the Brexit years...

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret What did you both learn about marathon telecasting that you weren’t aware of or didn’t appreciate until your election night duties for Channel 4?

The sleaze isn't surprising. But the levels of incompetence still raise an eyebrow. Did all these inside-knowledge betters not think that MAYBE they should have asked someone once or twice removed to place the bet for them?

@susie_dent People often mispronounce 'pronunciation'

[Guy Buckland 🇺🇦 @buckybantam]

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret What did you think of each other before you started this podcast and got to know each other better? Would you now consider yourself ‘friends’? Work colleagues? Bezzies?

[Guy Buckland 🇺🇦 @buckybantam]

Posting on Twitter for the first time in a year or so to say that this PM statement is the most HILARIOUS thing I've ever seen! Like out of a comedy show... The rain! The music! The self-aggrandising!! BRILLIANT!!
(and utterly pathetic)

[Guy Buckland 🇺🇦 @buckybantam]

@RestIsPolitics What were your honest appraisals of each other before embarking on this podcast project? How have your opinions of each other changed? And do you now consider yourselves ‘friends’?

[Guy Buckland 🇺🇦 @buckybantam]

@bitmap_books @davescook (Insert Futurama gif with the money)

[Guy Buckland 🇺🇦 @buckybantam]

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret Increasingly common in the modern social media age is a propensity to ‘double-down’ - to become more entrenched and inflexible in a position when challenged, rather than accept fault, misunderstanding or nuance. Any examples of when you may have been guilty of this yourselves?

@RestIsPolitics Could Alastair and Rory run the country together? Who would be big spoon and little spoon (PM and Dep. PM) and what would be the policy that would tear the coalition apart?
