Along with a group of about 10 other lads, I was a 'follower' of Pontius Pilate. No lines, just followed him on and off stage when he gave little speeches. Absolute nothing role.
So - did you take part in a nativity play at school and if so, what part did you play?

I got the part of the frankincense guy - I was the only child in the class who could pronounce the word ...!
Nativity plays have been a much-loved part of the school year in infant and junior schools across the UK for many years. These performances brought the Christmas story to life with a mix of earnestness and unintentional comedy. Classrooms buzzed with excitement as tea towels and

The only substances that should be allowed to claim this as a portion size are instant coffee, english mustard and Bovril.

Such a sad state of affairs. I understand a requirement for BBC news to try and remain impartial on broadcast reporting, but not people employed by the BBC acting in good conscience in their own time. Good on Ince and I hope Cox speaks out on this too
Just one final thing - someone filmed some of my departure speech after Monkey Cage last night (I should make it clear no one knew I was going to do it) and it has been put up here - i cannot deny i was very emotional #science #comedy

@jessica.moe hey; noticed you added me to a list. Just to confirm I referred to you as "they" because I didn't know your pronouns and hadn't yet clicked through to your profile to see your bio. It'll be She from now on, but sorry to say, I can't bring myself to refer to a person as 'it'.

Kind of interesting: I thought the thing where the word "capitalism" is so vague it can mean anything from consumerism cronyism to the right to own private property was relatively recent, but here's Chesterton complaining about it in 1927

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Journalists have an incredibly important role in a democratic society and the sheer level of incompetence and lack of rigour that's tolerated at the most senior levels of the profession are both damning and sickening.

My constituent, Amu, is on Day 40 of their hunger strike in prison.

Last month, I requested an urgent meeting with the Justice Secretary to discuss their wellbeing.

He has now officially declined my request.

What an absolute disgrace.
