I'm 30 week and didn't quite love the Dr's statement this morning 'I love when people don't have botox and I ask them to look up, how refreshing' even though it was well intentioned 😂

I was only moaning about this at lunch today to someone. Amelia Opie - Adeline Mowbray would be a good one to retell given the themes!

One in six private renters is now renting a former council home, often at extortionate rates – and often partly paid for by the government in the form of housing benefit. It's not just deeply unfair - it economically doesn't make any sense. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...
