Went to see Odyssey in 70mm IMAX this evening as a birthday treat. Stunning to see the film this way, visually it is amazing but the sound, dang, it nearly burst my eardrums.

Big news from Labour Conference: the PM has announced the government's plan to scrap first past the post. Seats that match votes would change British politics for good, but only if it happens. I've added my name. Join me? action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/201578/...

action.electoral-reform.org.ukThe PM used his big speech to promise to fix Westminster's broken voting system.We've heard promises before. I've signed to make sure this one is kept. It takes 30 seconds

Amazing Wordle 2/6 Matt πŸ”₯ Hope you don’t mind me reaching out β€” I’ve made a new daily word game called Griddable that I think Wordle players will like. I’d be really grateful if you gave it a try: griddable.co.uk. Feedback very welcome!

Solution is easy. Burnham resigns as an MP, and stands against Farage in Clacton. This is exactly the kind of grown up politics and mature statesmanship on which this country was built.

Unusual game, no consonants at all (not even right ones in wrong place) until the final guess. No letter already guessed was repeated (hard mode) Wordle 1,823 6/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Difficult to see this game ever being repeated. Note that this was in hard mode, so no letters which were not in the word were guessed again. Wordle 1,667 6/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

3 goes is quite rare, and I was 99% convinced that I was right when I submitted the 3rd guess. Wordle 1,542 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ 🟨⬜⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

A bit disconcerting when your go to 'first word' draws blanks! Wordle 1,460 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Early Wordle but on form today. Given Netantyahu is going to immolate the world just so he can stay in power, let's hope I get to do one tomorrow. Wordle 1,459 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
