Transcribe →Jam Tomorrow
3d ago00:02:35Tap to summarizeJam tomorrow (but never today) is an absurd dictum which first appeared in Lewis Carroll's story Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. It is based on a rule of Latin grammar in which the word iam is used only in the future or past tense but never in the present tense. It is now commonly used to signify a promise which will never be satisfied.Tha Labour Party in the UK which won a huge majority at the last election is busy tearing itself apart because. of the promise of a charismatic new leader Amdy Burnham to replace the rather boring Keir Starmer. Based on history I'd much rather having boring than charismatic. - Jam TomorrowSupport the show
