GftNC, AppleTV is 50% off for Black Friday if you want to do a binge. There are some other shows that are pretty good to binge thru as well.

Re Badanoch, this by Stephen Bush via Zoe Williams in the Grauniad

There was no state. Who does she think crucified him, an anarchist collective?

Pro bono, I felt like the last part of the Deputy speaker's admonition was accusing Labour of leaking the OBR report. I've been reading how the budget is supposed to be secret because it could move markets, but it seems like a very anachronistic practice, any government, especially in one in a country that seems to have splintered politically as much as the UK, has to test possible lines. (Another possibility would be to fine media that make misrepresentations about the budget, though I imagine that horse has left the barn)

While the content of Badanoch's reply was unsurprising, the clearly theatrical aspects (changing of voices when inferring Reeve's, the invocation and subsequent dismissal of 'mansplaining') that caught me by surprise.
