'there were four MPs on johnson's honours list who he was hoping to send to the lords - dorries, former COP26 president alok sharma, scottish secretary alister jack and adams.
adams had been preparing to go to the lords since mr johnson resigned because he knew he was on the list...
he had sold his business, turned down a place in liz truss's cabinet and announced he was quitting as the MP for his hometown in north yorkshire.'
but then he was 'shafted by machiavellian sunak' (not a comparison horsemouth had previously thought likely to be made) and his proposed lordship torpedoed.
adams is reportedly 'livid'. horsemouth proposes mindfulness and meditation.
adams who? nigel adams (no horsemouth has never heard of him either).
'get three by-elections ready'
sunak will need all the political skills of machiavelli. he is neither liked nor feared and as the election approaches the tory MPs in marginal seats have progressively less reason to sit still and keep quiet.
indeed horsemouth proposes hiding underground from the upcoming conflagration.
underground it is cooler in summer and warmer in winter. we should display the guts and determination of baldasare forestiere (of sicily and later fresno california). fruit trees can be grown up through light wells.
yesterday tom service did a radio 3 show on music and money (jacques attali, and his book noise: the political economy of music, was not mentioned). now this used to be horsemouth's key interest - music clearly does something (for tom it is that it 'transcends' all of the financial activity that attends it, it escapes who 'owns' it to anyone who can hear it or feel it). horsemouth lived through an era when the nature of the musical commodity changed drastically (to the point where it is currently no longer a commodity but a service).
here in the valley it is a cool, damp, morning (it has rained - though not heavily). later today thunderstorms (horsemouth continues to assert this).
