Nice to be clamping down on refugees just when we’re participating in a war that will create hundreds of thousands of new refugees.

I'm sorry referring to people saying water tastes better up North as "demographical prejudice" has absolutely done me in. Wait til someone tells them about how much less government spending Northerners get per head 😬 #TheApprentice

Angharad is my favourite contestant since AJ back in 22. Would buy everything she makes and would have given basically all her makes except one Potter Of The Week so far. She better win or we riot 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❀️

Sign on a library book drop sign requesting people to yell "NOT A SQUIRREL" to confirm they are human and not a squirrel trying to steal Keith's lunch.

if you see anyone expressing shock that a candidate who exudes warmth and authenticity and wants to improve the quality of life for working class people won over a rapist whose entire campaign was
"that guys a terrorist" that's not a smart person. you don't have to listen to that person anymore.

The lip-service addressing of this is to point to the wealth of entry-level schemes hither and yon. But, as a friend and I joked ages ago, they seem convinced that if they keep building front doors, no one will mind that they never build any corridors, rooms or (god forbid) some fucking stairs.

Truly convinced Joe Marler is the best faithful we've seen on any franchise. A deadly combination of observant enough to spot traitors, popular enough to lead charges and aggy enough to elicit uncomposed reactions from people at the Round Table.

'Ahhh but you see the edit wouldn't put him last and show us the shock if he was being murdered!' I shout feveredly at a houseplant.

Can't wait for to see how many convoluted ways I come up with over the next five days to convince myself Nick definitely isn't getting murdered in spite of all the logical and strategic benefits πŸ™‚πŸ™‚πŸ™‚πŸ™‚.

I'm sorry, as much as I am enjoying this spat, how can you take seriously someone who spent 100s of millions of dollars electing Trump, then went to work for Trump, left government just days ago praising Trump, and is now calling for Trump's impeachment.

Just unserious people.

I guess I thought a him and Rita final would be most interesting? Both quite equally excellent and both had a lot of success in the competition. Would have been a tighter race imo but who knows, maybe John will surprise us!

Na Craig's one of the best they've ever had on #InteriorDesignMasters. Always made fun, irreverent spaces you wanted to spend time in. What a baffling decision.

Fantastic ending to Baroness Kidron's speech in the House of Lords yesterday, which led to the government's defeat on AI & copyright.

Speaking the UK's creators: "Their property, their labour, is worthy of your protection - because apart from anything else, it is not ours to give away."
