Women who lift each other up, and the world 💔.

If anyone knows folk who went to school with Nigel Farage I’d love to speak to them for an article and I’d protect their anonymity if they wished. Do help pass this on please in the hope it reaches the right people. Thank you

In the WTAF department: Labour peer Lord Glasman has personally apologised to Farage for Starmer’s statement that Farage is a racist. “I’m ashamed. It’s a disgrace.” He went on Farage’s own GB News show. Glasman is the architect of Blue Labour, the ultra-conservative Labour pressure group.

let the gourd times roll

Well, they’ve stopped one boat. Good job. #ppescandal

#Leicester people - if you ever have a problem with your phone/laptop/tablet, I hugely recommend Phone Bazaar, on Charles St, opposite Primark. Twice now they have solved my family's phone crises - and done it for free both times. Immensely helpful, lovely people.

Oh look, they've pocketed the cash already. The company will dissolve, administrators with chew up what cash is left, we will get buttons in return, and the govt will claim some kind of "win". All as predictable as the sunrise.

And furthermore... When are we going to go after the ministers (and officials?) who enabled this crookery with the 'VIP Lane', for Tory donors, cronies of Boris and mates of Matt Hancock? All of them eagerly profiting from an immense human tragedy... 🤮 www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cy...

Mmm. Cell Search. This is how they're going to get George. Something planted. #TheArchers

FFS! I know I've had a really shit couple of days (fairly shit month, tbh) but the Bartleby news has tears running down my face. FFS! #TheArchers

And there’s a word for compulsory unpaid work required only of incomers. It’s not a word that reflects well on the UK at all

I'm getting really really fed up at constant reassertion that welfare spending is "out of control" when it is the same as the average for the past few decades. One reason disability benefit costs have risen is because core support has fallen.

It sounds as if they have decided without her. I hope she finds her voice. #TheArchers

Why am I thinking that Rurarctbunf and Adoom’s wheeze for managing the farm is going to turn out to be an upmarket version of the Grundy set up? #TheArchers

Lyme disease is a *massive* and largely unseen problem, especially in areas where deer or feral goats are prevalent. Please, nature lovers: be tick-aware at all times.

Today's shooting: LDS Church in Grand Blanc, Michigan. The church is also on fire. Nonstop sirens for a while. I just can't STOP KILLING PEOPLE YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES

I watched some of the teddies zip-wiring. It was actually really sweet! #TheArchers

Dear parents - Yes you can give your sick child paracetamol if they’re >3 months old. It’s an excellent painkiller. It brings down a high temperature. It’s one of the safest drugs available. You are right to want to soothe your child’s distress. Evidence supports your good parenting. Be confident.

Managed to photograph one of them immigrants catching a swan yesterday. disgusting!!!

What sort of cake would you have at a Just Got Out of Jail party? How would you ice it and would it have little tokens in it like flick-knives and teeny packets of cocaine? Asking for a prominent influencer who's banking on lots of 'likes', both for her hero and for the money. #TheArchers

This only happens to you once

Someone in Market Harborough listens to #TheArchers

Off to Market Harborough for lunch with a dear friend. #GoodTimes

🔴 BREAKING: Chancellor believes allowing young people to live and work across Britain and the EU would boost the economy and reduce the need for tax rises in the budget. https://www.bestforbritain.org/uk_outlines_ambitious_yms

A massive spider has moved into my flat, I asked it "WHO ARE YOU AND WHO INVITED YOU?" No reply.

Not very tempting — Brian’s only offering Stella a temporary job. Til Ruaridh boots her out. Say no! #thearchers

“So daddy, did you participate in the great Grey Gables’ job swap?” #TheArchers

Please sign this petition if you haven’t already. It’s takes less than a minute and it’s so important. Hares are magical and beautiful; what a tragedy it would be if their population declined any further than it has already. 🖼️ Hugo Mühlig petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

This shadowing idea of Dane's at Grey Gables. For this to work and the hotel to keep running, wouldn't they have to shadow whoever they were supposed to shadow during their own time off? Bet that'll be popular. #TheArchers

My Jimmy Kimmel is a mensch moment was after his infant son underwent open heart surgery. On air he choked up over the thought of other parents in his situation who didn’t have his financial means. He an advocate for universal health care coverage, pleading with Congress to fund the ACA & CHIP.

A new gene therapy trial slowed Huntington’s Disease by an average of 75% in patients. It involves delivery of a modified but safe virus that produces microRNA in the brain to counteract mutations in the huntingtin gene. We can achieve amazing things when we fund science!

‘I’m back for home Farm.’ That seals it, Ruarighgh will be manager by Christmas. #TheArchers

Via The Independent: Donald Trump’s false claim that London ‘wants to go to Sharia law’ has been described as ‘appalling and bigoted’ by Mayor Sadiq Khan. The Muslim Council of Britain responded: “We pray for Mr Trump's health and wellbeing as his hallucinations seem to be getting worse by the day”

Yip! Perfect summing up. I'm not at all sure about their future.

A statement of fact for Tuesday, Sept 23, 2025. There is absolutely no link between Tylenol and Autism; however, there is an absolute link between Trump and Epstein. ✊💙

Looking forward to The Leicestershire Music & Cultural Trust trustees meeting this afternoon. Lovely fellow trustees & a chance to talk about how best to music in schools in underprivileged areas of the county. All kids should have access to learning an instrument - it should be a basic right.

Miraculously the Oval office announcement on autism & paracetamol has made me totally forget about the Epstein files. #bbcpm

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

Street food festivals would be better if they were like beer festivals, and vendors let people have 1/3 or 1/2 of a full portion for roughly 1/3 or 1/2 of the price. If people wanted a main meal they'd go to a restaurant

I'm really frustrated it's necessary to say this, but it's essential people hear it! "Taking paracetamol during pregnancy remains safe." "There is no evidence taking it during pregnancy causes autism in children." "Paracetamol remains the recommended pain relief option for pregnant women." 1/2

Disney announces ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ will return on Tuesday

Collecting milk bottle tops for the Blue Peter appeal ‘Girl Guides’ (1980)

If she asks George to forgive her, he will think he was in the right and she was wrong. That would do George no good at all. #TheArchers

Everyone has friends, neighbours, colleagues and people we rely on who Farage and Reform want to deport.

It's not just about Disney, it sends the message to all businesses that colaborate with the fascists.

Reform hold a press conference every Monday, for which they trail a policy announcement in that morning’s papers. Given Monday is a slow news day, that often means they lead the papers – and so the breakfast shows, and so they set the agenda for the week. It’s a good trick, but easy to counter!

The best thing about the ABC/Disney boycott is that zero point zero percent of participants are involved because they love Jimmy Kimmel so much and really want him back on television because's so funny and great. It's a movement of pure political principle.
