No second state visit for Trump
This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...
Why the fuck should Putin’s ass(et) be allowed to set foot in the U.K. never mind get the royal treatment?

What a heroine Gisèle is. I hope she can move on with her life knowing that she has helped so many women by standing up to the men who inflict such horrors.

It maybe sounds cringe, but when I'm writing a book I always want to create what I call a 'strictly moment' at the end - that mix of joy and emotion and having been on a journey of fulfilment... The moment when you want to cry and punch the air at the same time.

So glad the beeb didn't axe the final eps of #MasterChef because of Gregg. It's not about him, it's about some brilliant young chefs who deserved to have their competition shown. What a worthy winner in Dan.

Hate this new phrase 'it eats well' on MasterChef 🤮 (Which I know is not the worst thing about MC right now but still...)

I,meanwhile, would love to find a coat that actually is as long as it looks in the photos, but given I'm 6ft it's difficult!!

Friday night. Another week of trying and failing to come up with ideas for a new book. If/when I finally think of something with legs, it'd better be an absolute belter
