I could (& would like to) begin a very gradual return to work if certain conditions were in place to keep me safe. My GP tells me a fit note can't specify those particular conditions, only reduced hours, no heavy lifting, etc. And even if it could, the employer doesn't have to follow it

A point the BBC didn't mention (because it would interfere with the goal of tormenting vulnerable people) is that GPs are, or at least many think they are, very limited in the conditions they can put on a fit note. And employers are, or at least many think they are, entitled to ignore them

Remember to believe the accusers. They’re the ones without money, without PR, who’ve put their reputations, careers and futures on the line to make his abuses public.

Even for them this is beyond embarrassing. I'm sorry you've never heard of Sugababes, Sophie Ellis-Bextor or Wolf Alice, you fucking weirdos

I mean lol at Redzepi “resigning” “stepping down” “stepping away” news. His Insta reel (in which all his LA staff get to be publicly filmed looking sad) literally says he’s planning the next phase while they deliver LA. He’s just waiting for this to blow over.

I mean it’s an actual culture, right? No acknowledgment.

Good to see our British Media reporting the really important stuff

Imagine there will be a fair bit of empathy in Newcastle for Leverkusen and their fans tonight.

Also please use #sumo or #sumospoilers if you’re giving info about today’s/the latest bouts or I will block you, sorrreeee

I’m watching every day and trying not to spoiler but today in particular was 👀👀👀 #sumo

Labour has been hoping that it can abandon left wing and progressive politics, and that the trade unions they were founded by – and who pay their bills – would just put up with it. Looks like that is no longer the case.

we need an elected second house not a chamber for the prolongation of unrepresentative political influence

remember during the 2024 election when the ppl of bristol central voted for carla denyer, ousting thangam debonairre, and then keir starmer just made thangam a life peer in the house of lords? that is still fine. labour haven't changed any of that corruption. we can't even vote these fucks out.

Objectively hilarious. She’s tanking so hard.

The foul 16 seconds into this video. No yellow. Madness. #nufc

I could cry #NUFC

Oh just remembered Istanbul is “Eastanbool” - “have you been there? We met a nice couple, they asked us to go and stay with them”.

Excellent showing, lads #NUFC

Absolute shocker.

Hall is just another class #NUFC

I hope Tino is fully fit #NUFC

Has he forgotten his yellow card tonight? #NUFC

Someone needs to wrap the markets up warm then take it for a long walk in its pushchair.

My friend's grannie had durex fitted under her carpet (duralay) and proudly told us she had attended another friend's parents' conception (reception.....wedding).

Where are my girls who look terrible in linen? Unkempt, saggy, flabby linen. Ban linen. Find me a breathable summer material that looks chic and put together on me because it is *not* linen.

My hairdresser’s malapropisms are such a source of joy. Recent conversation about holiday food: Lays crisps are “Layers”, panna cotta is “panna cheeta” and Snickers bars are “sneakers”.

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

If Polanski’s got any sense he’s modelling “what would I do in this situation?” (and the answer isn’t “I wouldn’t start from here”).

Yesterday the NHS banned all under 18 prescriptions of HRT for trans young people. This ban was justified by 10 new studies that largely stated NO EVIDENCE for under 18s HRT exists. The study underpinning this played one particular trick. Let's briefly look at how the NHS rigged the game 1/5

“Skoot” is what my friend’s dog does across the carpet to relieve its anal glands so I think Jay wasn’t far off, to be fair to her.

I wouldn’t normally repost anything without alt text but I think this works as is.

Match day 🖤🤍 TBH I just want a really good match

Genuinely terrifying that these men have power.

is it really that much to ask for a social media platform that isn't run by giant pricks, where i can exercise a modicum of privacy and isn't full of bigots?

Can confirm that panda eyes are a thing of the past!

This is how IWD feels to women, really. Lip service.

Tag yourself, I’m “not more than 5 muhym”

Genuinely fab first season and when you can laugh ten times during the trailer you knowwww it’s going to be great.

Anyone can become disabled at any time. Your life can change in an instant, no matter how strong and healthy you think you are. People will leave you. Funds will dry up. Life will get tougher. It’s not a moral failing. It’s a minority group you can join anytime.
