I'm sure that Jane Krakowski's character in Ally McBeal series had a story-line about inventing a 'face bra' to be worn at night to prevent sagging.

Keir Starmer removes Labour whip from at least four ‘persistent rebel’ MPs Rachael Maskell, Neil Duncan-Jordan, Brian Leishman and Chris Hinchliff pushed out and three trade envoys lose roles

The problem with this, is that whilst they're voting against him, they are broadly voting in line with public opinion. He's sending them a message, but he's sending a stronger, more consequential message to us

Can an MP ask this in parliament please? @eddavey.libdems.org.uk @carladenyer.bsky.social

There is no long covid screening going on or testing in hospitals. Yet research shows COVID infections can cause serious blood clots, especially in those unvaccinated. Over 3.2 million had self reported via

A copy of Who Wants Normal? sits on a wooden table. There are some flowers and a blanket near it, for arty reasons.

Today is 3 months since Who Wants Normal? was published. Thanks so much to everyone who’s bought a copy, left a review, or shared a favourite quote on socials.

As the news cycle has become more toxic, this is a book that says disabled people are here, worthy and rather glorious, actually.

Yes, agreed. Do you think the Greens will start poaching disaffected Labour MPs, or will they join Corbyn's thing?

mention climate change. You'd think that with 3 heatwaves already this summer now was quite a good time to mention that!
Also the old dirty power producers get massive tax breaks/subsidies, plus electricity is over-taxed compared to gas.
This sort of thing is why Labour lose votes to the Greens.

@andrewsparrowgdn.bsky.social re Reform wanting to withdraw clean energy subsisdies, the Labour Party spokesperson says "leaving bills higher for families, threatening hundreds of thousands of good jobs across the country and putting our energy security at risk." Interesting that they choose not to

huge swathe of south London had the Green Party in second place. What is to stop all those rebel MPs just joining the Greens? Green policies are more like what Labour's used to be. Are you aware of the Green Party are actively seeking defectors? Thanks.

@andrewsparrowgdn.bsky.social seeing my MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy having her Ghana trade envoy role removed despite her Ghanaian heritage shows how vindictive the Labout whips are. Is it because she posts consistently about Gaza? And also opposed the Welfare Bill I think. Anyway, at the last election a

I love the way that had the five of them lined up between the pillars. What came first, the task or the location? #Taskmaster

"It was hard if you DID it" #Taskmaster

"Your back's hurting? Ok good." Fair to Alex I think 🤣 #Taskmaster

Such a great series, really well done guys. I think you should go to 25 series then stop when you've done Champion of Champion of Champions. Otherwise you'll have to do 125 series and even at the prodigious rate of output you have I don't think Alex and Greg would last that long 🤣

#taskmaster wow, is it Jason's turn???

32 rooms! 51 minutes! Oh Mat, poor Mat. #taskmaster

It'll either be terrible or brilliant, that's the rule on #Taskmaster

#taskmaster the way Jason threw Patatas down! 🫣

But of course his contrariness trumps everything else!

#taskmaster ok. The butterflies is the cutest thing but Greg doesn't often score cute very highly.

#taskmaster Alex with long hair! Not bad actually.

🤣🤣🤣

Damn right.

A Palestine Action protester in Newcastle - someone with the courage and insight and militant decency to risk their freedom by putting their body on the gears of an ongoing atrocity - wrote this, and it's class: summerjasmin.substack.com/p/in-defence...

Radio 4 yesterday said that he'd 'used a profanity' which just made them sound prim rather than addressing the whole madness of his communications. It's the random capitalisation that gets to me -- could that be a hangover from his German grandparents?
