On the eve of The Office’s 25th anniversary, I’m taking it back to the very beginning with a clip from the unaired pre-pilot presentation we put together, which led to the BBC commission.

My brother posts this every year in the family chat on the 4th. Still hilarious.

The unedited footage at the end of DLT's Gotcha where he swears constantly is quite something. But the Gotcha was merely the set up for the following week on Noel's House Party. DLT's revenge!

No legal basis. No clear objective. No exit. And much of Britain’s political class spent the week calling Starmer a coward for noticing.
Latest substack from me.

2. Volodymyr Zelenskyy
3. Mark Carney

Ever wondered where your tax money actually goes? 💷
@BBCNews broke it down by imagining we each handed the Government £100.
Here’s how that £100 was spent in 2023–24:
£22 → NHS
£6 → Defence
£10 → Education
£10 → Debt interest
£11.40 → State pensions
£4.15 → Working-age welfare (PIP, Universal Credit, health support)
£0.50 → Asylum system
£0.70 → Overseas aid
What strikes me most is this: immigration dominates headlines and public debate, consistently ranking as one of the nation’s top concerns — yet the asylum system accounts for just 0.5% of public spending.
A reminder that sometimes the loudest issues aren’t the largest ones.

Cut benefits, cut minimum wage, raise retirement age, means test pensions, get rid of the NHS.
Why are you voting for Farage?

The online baying mob shouting "Vote Reform" after Saturday's train stabbing attack may wish to note that not a single Reform MP has turned up for the Home Secretary's statement on the incident.

Watch @EdwardJDavey call out the BBC for their failure to hold Nigel Farage to account.

Yields hitting Truss levels does NOT mean the economy is crashing.
Anyone who says this doesn’t understand economics. I covered this stuff for years at Bloomberg.
Quick explainer that a child could understand: 🧵
Gilt rates are higher than they were in October 2022.
Yet there is no media outcry or negative commentary from the @bankofengland.
Britain's institutions are complicit in this huge economic failure.

What do we think?🤔
Hmm…. A Daily Mail headline so clearly designed to make you furious.
Being shared by salivating Tory MPs who love a good rage farming story!
So, what’s going on here?
Let’s take a look!👀
