A very productive day in the Young-Prince household. I myself have been tiling the downstairs toilet floor. They're fancy stick-on tiles, but that counts, right?!

disappointing Call The Midwife this year. Felt like an amateur action film at times with a poor script.

Lewis put the gammon on at 3am so we woke up to the delicious smell of it cooking, and now I'm wondering if you can get gammon scented candles.

Christmas Eve. Arthur isn't feeling well and is only really sleeping on us 🥺

so I generally don't tend to buy large joints of meat, but you know, Christmas. And I fucked it up. I thought this massive joint of gammon was £5. Bargain. I didn't notice the 'per kg' 🤢

no more new episodes of Gavin and Stacey, what even is the point of Christmas Day anymore.

went to a local farm this afternoon to show Arthur the animals and Christmas decorations.

my release radar on Spotify has been absolute poo for a few months now.

a bit surprised but massively excited to have been accepted onto the Jo Cox Women in Leadership Programme 😬☺️

My understanding is that he'd have to resign as Mayor to even put himself forward as the candidate for the selection. That's a HUGE gamble. Not a risk I would readily take.

I'm doing some work on facial estimation technology and I took a selfie on website that claimed to accurately determine age, and it said I was 35 (I'm 33). Then I put make-up on to see how young I could look and it said I was 37.

I'd be more confident that the govt wanted to tackle foreign interference in UK politics if the actual leaders of this country deleted their twitter/X accounts.

Just absolutely horrific. I'm horrified such evil exists in the world.

"it's like being in bed with Dennis Healey" - my husband to me when I got into bed with dye on my eyebrows 🫠 @yewisloung.bsky.social

A quorate CLP meeting? In December?

"The thing which has truly upset me this year is not the actions of people like Musk or Trump. We already knew that there are terrible people in the world. It’s how much compliance there is from people who should damn well know better." Proud to be someone who deleted twitter earlier this year.

SO pleased about this. The propaganda targeted towards new parents that anything other than breastfeeding must mean you hate your child is something the NHS gets massively WRONG. Relaxing the ban on promotions & rewards schemes on baby formula will help a lot of parents. www.gov.uk/government/n...

so offline these days I had to search who Zack Polanski was.

I find this very interesting, although my gut feeling is that if I were raped, I'd prefer to take my chances with a judge who is highly trained and well aware of their own bias, rather than a jury made up of god knows who and their unchecked biases. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What is it about cats that makes them decide that during a meeting is the best time to wake up from their naps and perform their ballet routine around your laptop?

One day, I won't be scrolling 'Future Business' on the UK Parliament website anymore, because I'll be dead. Swings and roundabouts.

This person needs to calm down with their email subjects.

942 amendments laid for the terminally ill adults bill. I need an assistant.

my favourite part about Reddit is the unspoken rule to downvote replies that are just 'This'.

It finally happened. I got The Call. The call to go and get Arthur from nursery as he's not well 🥲

more and more shitposting is starting to appear on my bluesky feed and *pleased sigh* it feels like nature is healing

As a Prince myself, I think I can speak for all Prince's, when I say that I'm glad that Andrew is no longer a Prince.

ever since Arthur started nursery, I've had constant viruses. Every morning is a roulette of which body part will ache.

Me earlier this year: I'm leaving twitter but I suppose nobody else has to if they don't want to. Me in the summer: Why are left-wingers still on twitter? Boggles my brain. Me now: WHY ARE YOU STILL ON TWITTER, DO YOU HAVE NO PRINCIPLES AT ALL As long as the two likes from porn bots are worth it.

Women need to get richer 😤

I'm starting to question if I'm putting on Peppa Pig for Arthur, or if I'm putting it on for myself.

I left twitter earlier this year (I know, I know, I talk about it a lot), and my life feels so much more peaceful. I can still engage with the people I like, but on blueksy instead. But I'm not being force-fed ads for shit websites & I'm not seeing hatred on the daily. More people should leave.

Time to improve working conditions in social work. 💪 The BASW and @swu-uk.bsky.social team pictured at our event in Westminster. A full afternoon engaging MPs and Peers with our campaign, calling for a better supported social work profession. Find out more 🔗 basw.co.uk/articles/bas...

This apparent shift in the government's position is very welcome news. 👏 In the summer, we wrote to the government alongside @adass.bsky.social urging them to implement LPS, which has been put on the back burner for too long. It's encouraging that Ministers have listened and responded.

Today, on the second anniversary of the horrific 7th October Hamas terrorist attack, the darkest day in Jewish history since the holocaust, we remember the victims whose lives were cruelly stolen, the people taken hostage, and the pain and grief of all their families and loved ones.

Spotify has me clocked
