Badenoch sounds like she is broadly asking the right questions, but she came up with the wrong answers. She is very certain of her own value and of how right she is when other people aren't. #desertislanddiscs

She's decided hacking Harman's website was a joke that happened by chance (As she tells it, the logging into the website *may* have been, but deciding to post an advert for Johnson and write a fake letter of resignation was deliberate), and so the law-breaking bit doesn't count #desertislanddiscs

"As politicians, you don't get forgiven for telling the truth", says Badenoch, expecting to be forgiven for breaking the law with no consequence (even, as she says dismissively, for a minor offence) #desertislanddiscs

Badenoch joined the Conservative Party because she thought the "party" bit meant socialising and... well, partying?! #desertislanddiscs

This week's #ThursdayFiveList is #DesertIslandMusic, and I've of course spent some time thinking about these in the past. Currently, these are mine. The first 3 are from the 90s. Hell yeah. And this way, I have some psych, some punk, some electronica, and some metal. 🔥

Nice to compare Brian Aldiss's two visits on Desert Island Discs.
The first included "The Waiter, the Porter, and the Upstairs Maid," Schubert, and Bennie Moten doing "Kansas City Breakdown."
The second has Walter Brennan, Górecki, and Ella doing "Cow Cow Boogie."
Both include Borodin, Holst, and Tom Lehrer.
His luxury changed from a time machine to a banjo.
