Watched one last week with Joanna Lumley on (in her Purdey haircut days). Brought back memories. Call My Bluff was essential family viewing in the 70s.

Very similar to the Old Buttercross in Bingley, West Yorkshire - complete with stocks. My brother put me in them when I was little.

You only had to look at his face (and Johnson's) when they faced the media after winning. Neither of them wanted to touch it. They KNEW it was going to be a disaster 🤬🤬

If Starmer (or should I say McSweeny) doesn't see this as a reason to go for Proportional Representation, he is putting party before country.
I'm sick of Labour chancing everything on FPTP delivering them power on a minority vote.
FPTP is ever more undemocratic and it needs to go.

Genuinely terrifying reading. The Kent Council leader who thinks it is her job to be a nuisance is literally creating the division and hostile environment for immigrants in her county.

What a load of bollocks from the BBC. Doesn't explain why they hardly give the LibDems any airtime for their 3.5 million votes.

My rescue cat took 3 years to trust me then, a few weeks ago sat on my knee for the first time. Now she pins me to the sofa every evening, purring her little heart out 💕

When the weather forecast keeps saying it's going to rain and it doesn't 😫
Desperate for rain here in Yorkshire. Garden is parched and we've got a hosepipe ban.
It's supposed to be storms now with rain and it's not bloody raining!!!

Unbelievably reckless behaviour by Tory MP Robbie Moore, which has led to death threats and misogynistic abuse against Labour MP Anna Dixon in a neighbouring constituency.
Moore should be facing disciplinary action by the Tory party as well as a police investigation 👇
