Nigel Farage has just called for an end to working from home and the focus on work-life balance

They’ll be suggesting we send kids up chimneys next

Whatever you do JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM
🚨Gorton and Denton by-election

Surely by now we can all see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities to gain support.

We are so much better than that.

DON’T BE TAKEN IN BY THE DIVISIVE POLITICS OF REFORM

When he was a Tory politician (you remember, just after he was binned as a Labour one) female colleagues were free to express their disgust at his blatant misogyny. “Lee is an odious sexist,” was Anna Soubry’s irrefutable conclusion. I wonder what his current colleagues will have to say…
Jeremy Kyle is interviewing Reform MPs at a live press conference

Discussing who might take over from Keir Starmer as PM, Kyle just said: "She's had a makeover, Angela"

Lee Anderson: "She's throwing her money away, isn't she, to be honest with you"

Dear Patricia Clegg

(the lady from the Reform letter)

You say your energy bills are rising - do you think the fossil fuel‑linked lads at Reform are going to fix that?

You mention food costing more - wild thought, but does Brexit, supply chains, and red tape ring any bells?

My favourite Bronte was Saurus.
I don’t know that I’ve ever actually read Wuthering Heights.

The only Brontë I liked was Anne.

Watching the curling in the Winter Olympics. Great. Thinking how we could use the idea of the brushes in bowls. How about leaf blowers? 🙂

The latest “Strong Message Here” with Emily Maitlis was excellent. I think Armando Iannucci and Emily should consider doing a series together.

The last album to be released by the Beatles was Let It Be although the last album they recorded was Abbey Road. If they had stayed together what would the next Beatles have looked like? Title? Tracks?
