you know I would say her matching pink phone case really makes this, gives Goodwin a huge "sad loser man at the end of Legally Blonde" vibe

Expect weeks of "family voting" rhetoric from Reform. They're out of the gates on it already. It mustn't be allowed to wash because look at the scale of that win. Tactical voting has obviously played a massive part. Gorton and Denton rejected Reform and its hateful agenda.

And we won’t be seeing that awful racist Matt Goodwin sitting on the Reform benches just yet so that’s a reason for everyone to celebrate.

I’m doing a portrait for someone using only oil paint and a pallet knife

Well, this is endless fun.

Remember, ICE only goes after "the worst of the worst" -- murderers, rapists, drug traffickers and, apparently, Ivy League students cramming for a Genetics exam.

Lovely pharmacist in town has provided me with a citric acid, sugar free sore throat remedy to try and kill it off.

I loved Gorton and Denton, though not as much as Peep Show.

I've survived having to call a pharmacy that called my mother a ticking time bomb to her face. I was having a major panic attack about it but I've got through. No insults.

One of my favourite comedies on TV right now. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

That was a hard-hitting piece about Mexico’s drug cartels on the news at ten. I should have kept reading my crime novel. It would have been less shocking.

After weeks of constant rain there’s nothing like a bright sunny day to make me realise my windows are fucking filthy.

If you’re in trouble, need help with public services or your children, going to your MP may be the only option. A compassionate MP is who you need at one of the worst points in your life. Always consider who you’d want to sit in front of at your greatest time of need.

US poet Sylvia Plath was also a talented artist. Triple-Face Portrait, c.1950 is an example of her work #WomensArt

You can’t just move someone with EDS and associated comorbid conditions. Understanding is built up over time and being moved into an environment where people have never heard of it could kill a patient. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So many nods to Sherlock in #SilentWitness…

‘When I could struggle past self-pity to arrive at an actual thought, it went something like: do these doctors think I’m acting? In which case, shouldn’t they urge me to set about becoming the next Meryl Streep, rather than wasting my talent in a GP’s office?’ www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Annie Elliot is talking about her new novel 'Mr and Mrs Charles Dickens' at the Charles Dickens museum on 18th March. This event is in person and online. Annie's novel restores Kate Dickens to history as more than a famous author’s discarded wife dickensmuseum.com/blogs/all-ev...

Another woman from my course has a book coming out very soon. It’s about Charles Dickens’ wife and sounds fascinating. www.waterstones.com/book/mr-and-...

People with rare genetic conditions are ‘systematically ignored’ by NHS, report finds

Eating disorders can be deeply isolating, but connecting with others can be life-changing. Whether your community is one person or many, every meaningful connection can bring hope, strength, and the reminder that #YouAreNotAlone #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek #BeatCommunity #EDAW2026

Wonderful DNA. I can be Irish today while we’re winning, or Scottish, Welsh or English if needs be. Well done Ireland! 🇮🇪 #SixNations

I've slowed down my swimming into the zone below high intensity by adding my heart rate to the swimming workout on Apple Watch. It feels so slow but it must be my muscles. It's good because I can keep up a consistent speed without boom and bust. Starting to accept I'm 45 👍🏻

Very excited about the possibility of Andrew being removed from the line of royal succession. It would take me one step closer to the throne, with only 7,568,412 people now ahead of me. Should anything happen to them, I am ready to grasp the hand of destiny and serve my people.

Lisa Phillips, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein, has called for a "thorough investigation" into the convicted US sex offender's connection with Ireland.

I read a study on long-term use of paracetamol today and I have gone off it after two days of treating my throat and head with it. It can increase your systolic blood pressure by 4 and you can become dependent. I was fantasising about long-term use but that's brought me back to reality.

BREAKING: Ukrainian officials have said they will not be taking part in the Winter Paralympics, following Russia's participation

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Reform are definitely going down the Christian Nationalist route, I fear.

Today is the beginning of Lent, commemorating the forty days that Jesus spent in the wilderness trying to quit smoking, which is why today is called Ash Wednesday.

Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program. "Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this."
