Don’t mourn, organise. Not dead yet.
I am unfeasibly cheered up by the thought that in two days time I can start opening my Bonne Maman advent calendar and this year it will be all weird and tasty jams rather than being interspersed with weird and healthy tisanes. Small pleasures are good.

Yet again Labour choosing to pander to Reform than think of consequences.

This Administration’s policies will spur millions of new infections and deaths from AIDS. Today’s announcement is simply to rub all of our noses in this. It is to say: we know what we’re doing; we don’t care. It is pure sadism. It’s a descent into barbarism once again.
