Oh no. RIP Patricia Routledge.

Time to remind people that this exists and Patricia Routledge was brilliant in it as she always was.

I have the entire series on dvd Hetty Wainthropp was an amazing series and Hetty was the polar opposite of Hyacinth

Everyone is celebrating the work and mourning the loss of Patricia Routledge and rightly so, but I've seen little acknowledgement of her Hetty Wainthropp series - so here she is about to investigate. RIP Patricia. A true national treasure.

Dame Patricia Routledge has passed away. 😭💔

An AMAZING actress. I always thought of her as the Lucille Ball of Britain due to her display of comedic timing & physical comedy on "Keeping Up Appearances" as Hyacinth Bucket (IT'S PRONOUNCED BOU-QUET).

PBS introduced me to her.

Rest in Power.💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

Northern voters should beware vague promises as Reform pledge to axe new rail line The proposed new rail line would provide high speed rail connections between Liverpool, Manchester and Leeds with significant upgrades across other key Northern rail routes.

"The question is whether Northern voters can trust Reform UK’s vague promises that they will replace this investment once they axe an existing scheme" Naomi Smith, our CEO, on Reform UK's plans to scrap investment in the North @pimlicat

The parliamentary register of interests shows that Farage has made nearly £400,000 from GB News since August 2024, for c190 hours’ work. This suggests he is being paid more than £2,000 an hour by the news channel. All paid to Thorn In The Side Ltd owned solely by Farage

25% tax rather than HR

Treaties like the ECHR protect everyone in the UK, not just migrants These commitments have cemented the UK at the heart of the rules-based international order.

"Reform has touted its plan as a “legal reset”. But it is better understood as a total rejection of the UK’s postwar international commitments to protect the human rights of everyone within its jurisdiction."

This is exactly the kind of despicable scaremongering that Aseem Malhotra has made his modus operandi. Insinuations, hearsay, anti-vaxx, non-evidence-based, lurid, self-enriching, anti-scientific claptrap. Of course Reform UK lapped it up. 1/4

The treadmill screening of ‘THE LONG WALK’ took place, where every person had to walk on a treadmill faster than 3MPH for the whole movie.

If they stopped, they were escorted out of the theater.

Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy

🧵 Farage is whipping up anger against the ECHR with false claims (see thread).

As The Bear brilliantly writes: “The ECHR [is] the foundation that protects you from your own government.”

That's why leaving the ECHR would be a Really Bad Idea.
