Still an offcomer after all these years. Aficionado of veggie food, bright tights, politics, frocks with POCKETS, and The Archers.

Had a quick look at Twitter. Well, that was a mistake.

Have been blocked by Owl of Impiety, who I *think* used to follow me. Ah well.

1930. An American reviewer called D Gordon, reviewing something called Half-mast murder. #OED #TheArchers

I think β€œwhodunnit” is a great word. *Goes off to find out who coined it*. #TheArchers

That would be such a cop-out!

I love that the actors were offered the option to open an envelope to find out whodunnit. #TheArchers

@paulwaughmp.bsky.social Can you please have a word with your former colleagues at the Independent and tell them this by-election is NOT a fight between Greens and Reform?

They seem to have lost their marbles since you left.

No fireworks. No parties. No flags. No celebrations.

No comments from the Brexit leaders. No "wasn't that a great idea."

Six years after we left the EU - everyone knows it was a disaster.

But....

Epstein files live updates: Starmer suggests Andrew should testify to US Congress, after new photos in Epstein files More than three million documents have been released, including thousands of videos and images related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Keir Starmer says Andrew should testify to Congress. (Spoiler: he won’t).

They were a diverse-looking group of activists at the announcement, so I think it will.

Lucy and Angeliki at the campaign launch

Lucy and Angeliki at the campaign launch

Delighted that Angeliki Stogia is Labour’s candidate for Gorton & Denton by-election.

She’s a strong Mancunian woman with Labour values & a record of delivery.

All our doorstep work is clear, only Labour can win against Reform. Don’t risk voting for others.

We chose unity & hope over division.

There’s loads of them. Plus this is a very small #TownNotAVillage and the landlord is a nice bloke.

The trouble with these awful β€œSave Our Pubs” beermats that have been put on every table is you can’t object to them without it sounding like you hate pubs rather than hate the Torygraph.

There’s only two of us doing the shouting! The other one is our local Jazzer-alike. I think Harrison and he thinks Lynda. He also thinks George wasn’t hit hard enough and Harrison and Fallon are heading for the divorce courts. #TheArchers

Keir Starmer has criticised the β€œpolitics of poisonous division” of Reform UK after the party’s candidate in the upcoming Gorton and Denton by-election was endorsed by far-right activist Tommy Robinson

Genuinely curious to understand why so many Labour MPs backed the Waspi cause - one with such limited merit - other than that being the kind of thing one does in opposition. I’d love to read a long read on the campaign and how the cause became so widespread…

Voting turn out is generally bellow 50% in Gorton and Denton. My hope is that people will turn out to stop Farage. 🀞

Someone in our pub looking at the Save Our Pubs beermats the landlord has put out: β€œThis is just a ploy to get you to sign up to the Torygraph.”
