I feel like Judith Armstrong didn’t know what The People’s history museum was about before she visited. Presumably she wanted the Suffragettes to fail

I feel like Hulme Asda is not full of catches

This is the only time of year when my flower purchasing competes with Elton John’s. My rooms are resplendent with £1 daffs and an occasional treat of some £5 tulips. Why aren’t there cheap flowers at other times of year?

Can we all just admit that self service tills in supermarkets are the worst invention of the last 50 years?

McGovern: Well, he said a lot of crazy shit today. I think it’s time to take the keys away from grandpa. He doesn’t seem like he’s all there.

Just in case you want to cry this Sunday morning

Blue sky and sunshine makes the world feel better - even if it is still freezing

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

I was at my Aunty’s 86th birthday last night and it always strikes me as mad that there is 8 years difference between her and my Mum because my Grandad went away to war and only got demobbed in 1946

"Assuming no change in the rate of taxation, and all other things being equal, the exchequer will lose the thick end of £100bn in tax revenues this year. Far from having to raise £26bn in extra taxes, Reeves could have chosen to halve the 20% rate of VAT with money to spare."

Does everybody else dream daily of quitting corporate life and going to work in a pub. Or is that just me?

Days like today make me yearn for the glory days of Twitter, like the David Cameron/pig story day

Imagine being Emily Maitlis tonight. Absolutely mad.

One of the most useful exercises Manchester council did a few years ago was send out a questionnaire when they had to make cuts asking what you wanted them to prioritise. They listed all their costs. It was an impossible job. Perhaps the Reform council in Kent should have had a go

I couldn’t care less about golf but seeing clips of the American fans on social media has me suddenly become a committed Team Europe fan

Am about to take some Night Nurse. If I do get raptured I will miss the entire thing

I just cancelled my Disney Plus membership although I’m in the U.K. Fighting facism but also, those Jimmy Kimmel/Sarah Silverman sketches back in the day were epic

That motherfucker got to say whatever he wanted but don’t you dare repeat it verbatim or you can be suspended or lose your job or get a knock on the door

EXCLUSIVE | A man convicted of the attempted murder of a 14-year-old child is now part of a group of vigilantes, who have been ‘patrolling’ Belfast's streets and claim to be protecting women and children from migrants

This is not a million miles away from Monkey tennis

This was 3 months before I was due to move to Manchester for university. Lived here for several years with large swathes of the city centre just screened off

5 years ago today the COVID rules had become pretty weird

I have taken the Avanti west coast service to and from London 4 times in the last month. Every train has been delayed. At least my delay repay pays for my Uber

Just landed back from holiday to my phone going mad with the horrible news from Liverpool. My family all went to celebrate the last game yesterday as today would be too crowded for my Mum. My thoughts are with anybody who was caught up in it. What a tragic thing to happen in our wonderful city.

I remember recording this onto VHS and learning it with my housemates in the 2 year of uni. Couldn’t move for combat pants

They should make a database of everybody bleating about the betrayal of Brexit today and make them stand in the All passports queue in every airport for the rest of their life

If only the creaking travel infrastructure of the north got as much press attention as a few concerts in London parks

Got an email that my Snapfish account would close due to inactivity (didn’t know I had one!) I did find this old photo though & realised two things I could no longer do. Get my leg this high or wear 3 inch heels for a night out in London

It is a slow night on the train to London. If anybody has tips on how to remember Spanish verb conjugations, I am all ears

My Dad wanted to name me Sheherezade after the character in One thousand and one nights. My Mum said that people would just call me Shezza. I was then named Lyndsey, a name that they saw in an advert for a hairdresser in the Liverpool Echo

Labour is handing this country on a silver platter to Reform. People do not vote Labour because they hate immigrants and want Reform-lite. They vote Labour because they want it to make a positive difference to their lives.

Did I mention that I arrived in Barcelona for work on Monday just as all the power went out? Well I did. And this famous singer called Manu Chao did an impromptu performance in front of our office whilst we waited for normality

What an afternoon. Liverpool win the League and Indiana Jones is on the tele

The torture of being hungover and yet unable to order Deliveroo because the Manchester marathon is on

Is the whole of the Pope’s funeral going to be passive aggressive swipes at Trump? Because I am here for that

President Zelensky receives applause from crowds at the Vatican. Trump was greeted with silence when he arrived.

Touching moment today when I guy I dated 12 years ago for a couple of months liked my job status update on LinkedIn. Modern life is weird

I checked my pension account yesterday and I really wish I hadn’t

I really ought to stop eating midget gems and watching episodes of Love on The Spectrum today but both things make me happy

Don’t travel to America

I was last in Paris in 2008. We didn’t have Google maps, had to buy carnets of tickets, relied on a lonely planet guide, had to call restaurants with pidgin French to book. Probs booked our hotel through lastminute.com. Some things in the world have improved

Anyway, here is the mood in France

Felt bad about asking the man behind me to ask his son to stop kicking my seat all flight. Consoled myself with the fact I didn’t mention him letting his son play his iPad out loud without headphones

My flight is delayed but I am not in Terminal 3 and you no longer have to take your liquids and electronics out of your bag at Manchester airport which is a blessed relief

Republicans in Congress can end this any time

There are an unreasonable amount of children about this week and I have with my only my wired headphones and not my noise cancelling ones. The government should issue some kind of warning to the childless before school holidays so we can better prepare ourselves

Looks like Rachel Reeves picked a bad time to convince people that they should invest in stocks and shares isas
