I use the buses more than the tube now in London because I have a bus pass - not a freedom pass sadly as I’m outside London. Anyway, I’m sure they will reroute the buses so they’re not far away.

That does seem unfair. I hope you find somewhere local that you like.

Totally agree. I complained (to the council) about one on a lamp post in a very small cul-de-sac & it was actually taken down. We should all do this & stop pretending they’re supporting the women’s rugby.

Aside from the 'she's dead' bit, why pick someone from Bradford to run in Croydon ? We must implement residency requirements.

Horrendous things talked about on breakfast TV this morning by a British surgeon who volunteers in Gaza. Young lads being shot at as target practice in head, neck, chest & testicles. Each day a different target but many the same. I felt sick to my stomach. Humanity is lost.

I thought that but in the end I think maybe it helped her & once she got going she thanked all her family & supporters. She will be back one day & win but she won’t believe that at the moment,

I had a friend who died of mesothelioma caused by asbestos. She’d been exposed to it from her husband’s work overalls which he brought home to be washed. He never succumbed to it but she died in her 60s. This is a terrible mistake if it really happens.

Good luck with the job - sounds perfect.

Totally agree about time. I’m sick to the back teeth of people who endlessly arrive late! It happens to everyone occasionally but all the time is just taking the p***!

Brilliant isn’t it. That lad is a great actor - when he lost his temper with the psychologist I nearly jumped out of my chair.

For almost twenty years, with a needle in hand and infinite patience, MartΓ­n Sellier not only wove together coloured threads, but also his love for chemistry.

At 82 years old, this retired chemist achieved an extraordinary feat: embroidering the entire periodic table in cross-stitch.

This can’t to repeated enough. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

NEW: The Trump admin told a US-funded aid group that gives food & medicine to starving children in Sudan to shut down.

Children would die.

They’re defying the order.

But the aid world is in chaos.

Fight for the NHS with every fibre of your being. Or this could be your loved one.

Which channel is this on? Sounds fascinating. I’m not surprised Bercow is doing well.

I’m on a train, and the school kids sitting next to me have just loudly discussed their grandparents being racist fools, the economic importance of immigration, women’s bodily autonomy, transphobic bullies, and Elon Musk’s disinformation. Sometimes the future looks bright.

He was on fire & rightly so - esp over Truss’s comments!

& when was Ed Davey last on one of the Sunday politics shows? It’s Labour, Conservative & Farage which in no way reflects the number of seats held in parliament!
