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.

Quite like the ones that unexpectedly become anagrams.

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

I think “whodunnit” 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

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.

What the fuck? Chuck him out of the party, revoke his peerage.

Considering pocketing a few each night until they’re all gone. But there’s loads of them.

Oh no, it’s not! (too late for panto season, that is). Ours is next weekend. #TheArchers

I’m not at all like Lynda! Apart from being involved in the Pantomime each year. #TheArchers

(He used to call me Yvette. As in Cooper)

Which is, of course, the whole point.

The trouble with these awful “Save 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.

I meant Lilian! I typed Lynda by mistake because that’s our Jazzer’s nickname for me. #TheArchers

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

I’m sure it will be!

Shouting theories across the pub about who bopped George… #TheArchers

Keir Starmer has criticised the “politics 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. 🤞

Who knew Pizza Express Woking had a game of Twister available for patrons to participate whilst they waited?

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