Tonight's Doctor Who was the best in many years. Absolute classic. We all had to grab each other's hands in fear. And didn't eye roll at all. Excellent! #DoctorWho #TheWell

We've been rewatching all the NuWho ones. I read your pieces after each one, and our views are almost 100% aligned. (Just done first Matt Smith series. Stellar.)

Tell me you've just won a prize at a Labour party fundraiser without telling me you've won a prize at a Labour party fundraiser

Gonna try to go to the cinema more often in 2025. First up: Babygirl. Main question, is it *supposed* to be funny? Lots of giggles from me and others in the room. 5 out of 10. (Last non-kids film I saw was Anora which is truly excellent, 10 easily)

I've just started an interim role at Impact on Urban Health. Take a look at this lovely new little video to see why our work is so important.

The ever creative @emilythornberry.bsky.social wrote a version of 12 days of Christmas for the Merton Labour/Siobhain Mcdonagh fundraiser this evening!

Well this is exciting news for lots of Merton residents!

As temperatures drop to freezing, the @mayorofldn.bsky.social and London Councils have activated the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP), which means that London boroughs and City Hall will be opening up emergency accomodation for rough sleepers.

Spending Saturday evening catching up with Wolf Hall series 1. Eleven year old is hooked... (Top tip, even having read them: watch with subtitles. And the book's character lists are very useful reference points)
