"Why do people play golf?" Sean Connery was once asked, and he gave a brilliant answer.
"If you play golf, you can’t think, honestly, or do anything else while you’re playing.
"I think it’s the most revealing game. I don’t know if it’s a game. It’s something other than a game. I couldn’t define it.
"But it’s obsessive and revealing and a very healthy balancing act, I think. It certainly is for me, and also it’s one of the few games in the world that’s really still got dignity as a game.
"It’s endless, and as Jack Nicklaus says, it’s an unfair game and you have to accept it. It’s like life in that way.
"It’s also a game that you can cheat it. It’s the easiest game in the world to cheat at. The only one that suffers is you, because you know. And you can’t unknow."
@piersmorgan Although not quite as bonkers Piers, I’m playing padel for 24 hours straight to raise money for @BrainTumourOrg in October. Would love your support or a re-post😊 Come and have a game if you fancy your chances😁 https://t.co/9nth58CZb8
🚨INSANITY: The average British worker works 40 hours a week, year after year, watching taxes climb while the cost of living crushes them and still barely make ends meet.
Meanwhile, the government is spending your money like this:

NET STUPID ZERO 6.7 BILLION.
Just in this list alone it exceeds:
£15.5 BILLION!!!
YET, there’s no money to fix pot holes, the NHS, police on the streets, schools falling apart, social care for the elderly, housing the homeless, or support for veterans... amongst other things,
Absolutely disgraceful.
Let me say this very directly.
Homes do not belong to Government. They belong to people who spend their entire life working to purchase with taxed wages, so they can raise families and create lifelong memories.
The family home is not a product. It is the biggest purchase anyone will ever make, and it was never Labours to tax further without a mandate. Dress the deal up however you like. Once you have forced pensioners out of their family home for additional taxes that were never in a manifesto, you have sold out.
Homes belongs to the people. They always have, and always will.
If this is all true, and the Heron House (No. 10 North) rental application really was submitted on 11 May 2026, just three days before Joshua Simons resigned as Makerfield MP, it suggests this whole Andy Burnham Labour coup was being planned months in advance.
The building was allegedly already being prepared for Burnham to take over and move the Prime Minister's office to Manchester.
This is pretty incredible if accurate.
At that point, Andy Burnham was still Mayor of Manchester, Makerfield still had an MP in Joshua Simons, and Labour still had a Prime Minister in Keir Starmer.
The whole sequence feels incredibly murky, with plenty of political backstabbing involved. If this timeline is correct, it would also help explain why Burnham appears to have sidelined talented MPs seen as loyal to Starmer, including Darren Jones and Mike Tapp.
