The current government has too many people in control who are far from expert in the subjects of their portfolios. Bringing people in to Labour who actually know something about economics and unions seems to me like a good plan.

My heart goes out to you! This is terrible. You did the right thing. I don't know what else you can do. Watching from New Zealand.

I'm old, and I bought one, thinking I would future proof myself. But it sounded like the crinkly raincoat you mention, and there is no way I am putting up with that until there is absolute necessity!

Not a scientist, but I've had M.E. for a very long time. My best guess, if you have an immune system that is chronically in top gear, or close to it, it is going to take out as many viruses as it can. It's not the number of viruses we have that is the problem, it's the immune system.

And now you have to either accept you've been ripped off or go back and make a righteous fuss. There is not enough day. Or energy. I don't think there was much expertise there, actually.

I used to be a teacher. I remember the year of the Jasons. There had been a tv actor, so, Jasons. I had five Jasons in a class of over thirty boys and girls. Very tricky. After that, if there were multiples, the kids and I had a plan - whole name, nick-name, second name - they chose.
