I really want a housekeeper, maid and a butler would be nice. And I do have a cleaner for the house in Lincoln (on which I have just exchanged contracts), so it felt a little entitled to have cleaners there and in the rental. But perhaps I should get over myself 😊.

🤣

I have realised that it takes me an hour and a half to clean the house. It takes the same time whether that’s done once a week or every other week. Moving forward it will be every other week. #IHateHoovering.

I was scoffing the Amber wind warning that we have in place here as it rained all morning and into the afternoon. Have now changed my mind; really high wind speed. To all those in #NorthernIreland and #Scotland, hope that you're able to stay safe.

Tread softly...... 😂

Yep, if you will complete a project data sharing agreement and, contract? Pretty please?

Just to be clear:
- Paracetamol does not cause autism.
- Sadiq Khan is not introducing Sharia law in the UK
- We do not have a massive free speech problem here.
- Britain is not on the verge of civil war.
These are not controversial subjects or contested, they're just not true.

Listening to the vile, bizarre musings of Trump, I’ve only used the ‘C’ word quite so much when listening to Johnson; and even then, I’ve never, ever used it so much.

And it is likely that those migrants in hotels need a taxi to attend an NHS appointment because of the vile anti-migrant ideology stirred up by people in the media. Just like #JustinWebb

See that #JustinWebb is demonstrating his complete lack of humanity on Radio4 today.

Done for the day 🍺

And this one is because I’m waiting to hear if we have exchanged contracts.

Two words for Badenoch. Michelle Mone. She has yet to eject her from the 'Lords', despite the Government sueing Mone et al., for £122m.

Yes, I am doing a title and abstract screening of 2,247 papers. 👇

THat #Mandelson supported Epstein after his initial charges and sentencing for child sexual abuse is totally unsurprising. Few of the powerful (men and women) ever listen to the victims/ survivors.

I need to clone myself (even if that does strike fear into my enemies and friends alike).

Boris Johnson under pressure to explain how private office follows funding rules Office is part-funded by public duty costs allowance, which should only be used to support public work of former PMs

The odious Johnson rather shot himself in the foot with the following comment: "The Guardian should change its name to Pravda.” After all, Pravda means 'Truth'.

Graham Linehan ‘relentlessly’ posted abuse about trans teenager, court told Prosecution tells hearing Father Ted writer’s posts about Sophia Brooks, 18, were ‘oppressive and unacceptable’

I hadn’t realised that Linehan was sending (what seems to be) vile messages to *a child*; the complainant was aged 17. Why is he being supported by such high profile people (JK Rowling for one)?https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/sep/04/graham-linehan-trans-teenager-court?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

If you listen to one speech today, let it be this: Jamie Raskin introducing Farage, who is about to speak in support of Trump.

The way it’s being presented is that the police deliberately tooled up to arrest Linehan. That the were armed is because of their placement.

Will the #BBC please *stop* saying that Linehan was arrested by armed police. The police are armed because they were at Heathrow, not because they got deliberately checked out gunshots to arrest the (vicious and nasty) Linehan. And by the way, #Farage can just shut up.

Pay attention to where you pay attention.

Pleased that some of Linehan's tweets are being properly explored. While he is generally hateful towards the trans community, some of his past and present tweets have been simply threatening. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
