Not my favourite interiors stylist but Banjo and Ro are great and this is joyful television.

I always think ‘SUV wanker’ and particularly ‘Range Rover Wanker’

Anyone who drives an SUV does not give a toss about other peoples’ kids or even the environment their own kids and grandkids will live in.

The men who raised the flags Nigel Farage says this summer’s movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. That’s not what we found

Perhaps not ordinary folks who love our country but criminals and bigots? Be great if we had more local investigative journalism - well done to the Sheffield Tribune and mill media www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/the-men-who-...

I would support nurses and other lower paid NHS staff if they were to strike over pay.

And I previously supported resident doctors. But this strike is BMA induced madness.

BMA leadership needs an overhaul - they seem callously indifferent to patients and the rebuilding of the NHS.

I am up for all these, except perhaps a bakery crawl - one trip a day is enough!

Auto-enrolment is one of the few big success stories of any shade of Government in recent years.

Raising contributions over time is part of the plan to ensure every low/middle income worker has a decent pension.

Helpful if we could focus on policy merits - not the person making the announcement…

NHS Pay 3

This Government often makes me angry - but on the NHS they are putting money in that’s needed. So c’mon resident doctors stop this selfish action and put patients first!

NHS Pay Part 2

I supported resident (junior) doctors past strike action. But that was resolved and they had a decent pay deal and now have an offer far in excess of nurses.

I do not support this ill advised strike action at such short notice. The BMA cares nothing for patients or the NHS.

Part 1 NHS Pay

I would support nurses if they threatened to strike. It’s wrong that their pay has fallen behind teachers and other public sector professionals.

The responsible right to roam in England is long overdue. Those who doubt our ability to roam responsibly should perhaps weigh this against the ecological vandalism committed by some landowners?

As an adoptee, it is sad how little support and funding there is for adoption.

Interesting thought…though Trump does make up a lot of ‘alternative facts’. Whether this is deliberate or mostly because of stupidity is arguable..
