Just introduced my nephew to the Four Candles sketch so done my cool aunt duty for the day.

For the life of me I cannot understand the appeal of a movie marathon at a cinema. I try so hard to understand other points of view, perspectives, tastes, hobbies etc. but this one is lost on me.

Aprils Fools was yesterday lads…

Best side effect of the Artemis launch is that I have been humming Tom Lehrer all day.

I’m 51 years old and last night, for what I think is the first time in my life, I had a dream with smells in it. A very strong smell (and no, it wasn’t in my flat when I woke up). Is this normal? Is this how everyone else has been dreaming all this time?

First night out since the break. Have tried to match my new ‘accessory’

Last week in the Lords we voted for women having an abortion to have safe choices and not to be investigated for criminal charges. I am proud to have voted for this. We did *not* vote to legalise abortion up till birth. Lots of misinformation - so here are facts 👇🏽 www.instagram.com/p/DWPJgNgDo1...

This confirms all my prejudices, and I will not be critically evaluating its claims or evidence at this time.

This has been a lot of work in the making but this next iteration of LabourList is really exciting. So... please be my friend!

Tomorrow LabourList is making a BIG announcement. Something we’ve been working on for months. It’s so exciting to develop and deliver for the site I love. And work with the best team in the world to do it.

Worst. Notification. Ever.

#FarageTheNazi is nothing but soulless sack of skin. 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Every Christmas Eve, my Dad took me and my siblings to Trafalgar Square where we would join in the singing of carols. We proclaimed glory “to the new born king” and “God in the highest”. My apologies to anyone who felt intimidated by this overt show of dominance.

When Keir Starmer said he wanted politics to tread more lightly on all our lives, he was right with one exception - his.

Entering the grumpy impatient phase of what is obviously going to be a long recovery. But happily with my wonderful family to celebrate Mother’s Day (when is cool Aunt day, that’s what I want to know?!).

‼️ EXCLUSIVE: LabourList has seen a letter addressed to the Prime Minister, written by General Secretary of Labour affiliated union Usdaw Joanne Thomas, that demonstrates concerns the government is 'set to fail to fulfil its manifesto commitment on guaranteed hours'. 👀 Read here 👇 buff.ly/KzbBxb3

I am back to some semblance of working next week. Arm still in a sling and while yesterday and Wednesday were quite bad for the pain, today has been markedly better. I do get very tired though and need to sleep often. I am blessed with incredible friends colleagues and family. I want for nothing.

I wrote and published these a lot quicker than ipso, too.

Out of surgery. All went well.,

In the birthday gift that keeps giving, just been told I’m having surgery on my arm tomorrow.

We saw defeat last night and it hurts. But underneath that we may also have seen positive signs of things to come. What happens when Labour works as a team. Editor @emmaburnell.bsky.social argues the way forward is to build on that.

I mean… true.

The brilliant and indefatigable James Tibbitts there. Super proud editor here.

So some not great news. I slipped on the ice earlier. Currently in the hospital waiting for an x-ray on what they think is a dislocated arm. :(

I am so blessed to have wonderful people in my life who do things like this.

Ok so you can mostly see my reflection. But the view from my room is fab!

Tromso here I come!!

I live a wonderful life full of love, companionship, flirtation, romance and sex. I do it as a happily single woman. Happy Valentine's Day to all those celebrating their own lives of love - whatever shape that takes.
