We can but hope…

The lady at the charity shop today told me that she wishes people would clear out their children's old toys in the lead up to Christmas rather than after because she always sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas looking for toys for their little ones who might be strapped for cash. She said there's very rarely anything in just before, but that they get inundated with toys in the days after. And it really made me think about it in a way I never would have before. If you know your child is going to get lots of presents from father Christmas this year, by clearing out your cupboards a few days early you could make another child's Christmas a lot more special too. Saw this & thought I'd repost

If Reform can go from nought to sixty in 5 seconds (in terms of support & prominence) why can’t the millions of left-leaning people do exactly the same for @greenparty.org.uk ?
It’s not beyond the realms of possibility.
The old two-party monopoly is dead.
Be part of the change. ✊💚

Congratulations to Catherine Connolly
👏👏

And from Galway too 😉

If only the parties of the Left could forge a longer term alliance then Ireland could have an even brighter future.

Oh fuck off Craig…that was perfection #strictly

Alex and Johannes 👏👏

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is EXACTLY what this country doesn’t realise it needs!

Mind you, that said, I’ve started to find the kids more then abit annoying…especially Dustin.

All true but to add insult to injury it the after looks worse then the before

I mean like almost any semi competent IT student could have done better

Its almost better the second time round cause you pick up on more of the detail!

Right decision…I didn’t like him but aside from that his dance wasn’t that good.

Best wishes to Amy 👏👏

100% on this, at least its over now.

Yes Claudia please stop speaking about mince

I think Shirley might be a bit optimistic with her ‘in front of 15 million people’ comment to Stefan .

#strictly

This dance suited Ross better

Not a 10, probably not even a 6 but much better 👏👏

#strictly

What have they done to his face? Looks like a plastic mask

#Strictly

I might well have misheard…though thats even worse! Was it a dig at Lewis or just something random?

Was that ‘crash bang wallop in anyones face’ comment a dig from Shirley?

#Strictly

I think Alex Kingston was very good

#Strictly 👏👏

Oh they’re mixing up the Technical!

They best choose wisely…

Hang on…how could someone on #GBBO ask ‘whats a mousse?’

I don’t know much about him but seems very nice.

I’m a non-stir…I just dive straight in.

Well done to Vicky, great first dance 👏👏

#strictly

How is Claudia, and now Tess, drawing attention to Vicky’s nerves going to help her?

Good luck to her

#strictly

Nervous laughter from Ross at the mention of Hip Hop. #strictly

Lewis is streets ahead, easily best of the night so far.

#strictly

Same! A little bit gimmicky for me

We can never unsee that #Strictly moment of Anton on Harry.

Alex should score high 👏👏
