If you live in the Gorton and Denton constituency and spoke to a Reform party member on your doorstep or in the streets then I'd like to speak to you for an article. My DMs are open.

Mandatory school blazers from nursery to 21. Including Universities. Union jack blazers, obvs. And raise the voting age to 21. On second thoughts, raise the voting age to 65. Votes only for people who were born here and have never been abroad, and don't own a passport. Like in the USA.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records. Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'. Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

THE GIRL WHOSE MOTHER ROBBED A BANK “A compelling story I didn’t want to put down.” “The characters felt so real; they are really engaging and brilliantly multi-faceted.” “An important story about family relationships, just brimming with emotion.” #YAfiction #Contemporaryfiction #Reallife

This is very cool - I'd never heard about the National Poetry Library in London until today, but apparently anyone with a UK address can get a library card, and they have a large online library for virtual borrowing, too. Join here (as I just did!): www.southbankcentre.co.uk/venues/natio...?

This is our parody of "Piece of My Heart" by the amazing soulful Erma Franklin. Our version addresses the situation unfolding with #Trump and #Greenland, & has rude words - it's called "Piece of Denmark". In solidarity with all fellow Europeans facing tariffs and trauma. #25th youtu.be/jSDIkpwlqsA

We have made the decision to formally close our X social media account. Once a vibrant platform to promote the interests of authors, we feel X is no longer a trusted place for balance, community support, and reliable information.

“A beautiful story. I felt for Elle and fell in love with all the characters. It’s fair to say I shed a fair amount of tears reading this!”

"After three bad omens in thirteen minutes, everything changes for Lucky."

Good.

Bastards.

I have completed this. About 10 mins work.

It would help so much if you could repost my 2026 calendars/etsy shop in my post above. Small handmade businesses are better than the big Black Friday malarkey. Thankyou so much 🌿

I know I've asked this a few times recently but I've been very unwell for much of this year & am trying to get back on my feet again financially by teaching my workshops again alongside running my Etsy shop. Please could you give my posts above/below about my workshop a RT if you have a moment?...🌿

All very interesting I'm sure, but what is it good for?

I'm sad to say that since leaving Twitter/X my sales for live shows have dropped quite a lot - it turns out that even though it's a dreadful place it was still useful for getting the word out about events. So any shares / RTs of my posts about live shows are hugely appreciated!

Wow. If only she had just shot an unarmed black person instead, she could have kept her job. Or failed her vetting check, or sexually harassed a colleague, or let someone die in custody. Or turned a blind eye to corruption. Anything really, just not online shopping while on duty.

Yep - liars and hypocrites. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

There's always a first time for me to agree with Badenough. And last, no doubt. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
