Aside from the cruelty of this, I’d just like to know why it’s ok to ignore and disappoint liberal/progressive voters.
Why do governments chase Farage and his voters, thinking that will neutralise them. It’s NEVER worked. He’s leading in the polls and his ideas have ruined us. WTF are you doing?

This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform.

People of London! PLEASE SHARE. I lost my necklace last night (10th Nov), and I'm hoping someone has found it. I caught the Northern Line from High Barnet to Leicester Square, then walked to the Prince Charles Cinema, then the same back again. I only noticed it was gone when I got home.

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC.
This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting.

Lovely walk in Kent today (Holly Hill & Coldrum Long Barrow) after dropping the 15yo at Folkestone for an Armistice Day trip to Belgium with Air Cadets. Started in fog, finished in sunshine. There may have been hills!

Friend on FB declaring she's not paying her TV licence next year because the BBC are a Hamas propaganda machine. As she shares a post from GB News 😬

"excluded from the world of informal exchanges" got me. That's the bit we still do really really badly. African scientists unable to get visas to attend conferences, mothers struggling with childcare, class exclusion. If we turn it into a "theft" narrative it's easy to say "oh well I don't do that".

Contrary to popular belief, she was a huge part of what really was a team effort, but she should have had way bigger acknowledgement of the part she'd played. I wonder if her legacy would have been different if she hadn't died so tragically young?

Did you hear the one about the gay comic, the dual race actor, the black historian and the alpha male rugby player? They lied to each other in a game then just had a great big cuddle and became friends for life. #CelebrityTraitors

Aaah, the relief!! After a day of self-imposed no TV, no radio, barely any phone (OK, I was hanging out on LinkedIn I was that unable not to scroll somewhere) I have finally caught up on #CelebrityTraitors. OMG, what an ending!! Loved the whole thing. Amazing, emotional television 😂

Just received a work-related marketing call on my (personal) mobile (which already annoyed me), then the salesman called me Mrs Ellis throughout the pitch. Yeah, nah, they won't be getting any business from me.
OK, full answer. For me: Dr if it's an option. Or nothing if possible. Then Miss (I'm an outlier), Ms if necessary. Mrs only if I *have* to choose something and Mr/Mrs are the only two options. For others: if I know them well enough to know marital status, then First Name. If not, Ms.

I am *not* coming up, and I am most definitely not gonna get any party started.
If I'm honest, I have done very little my way.
I have to admit that, much as I’d like to be, I’m not still standing.
