Here is an “all star contributor” to a local FB page, responding to my questions about why she will vote Reform. Utterly bonkers.

Me: “Right mum, this tearjerker of a romantic film is finishing in 3 minutes.” Mum: “Is the kitchen tidy?” 🙄

Didn’t watch Celebrity Traitors, but have just heard from my brother that Alan Carr’s charity was the Neuroblastoma Society, a small charity close to our hearts.

I agree. Restrict fireworks to regulated, organised displays. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I know it’s your dad’s funeral, Esme, but FGS stop whinging. #TheArchers

#ITVNews should be ashamed, giving airtime to that swaggering, smirking crim.

Davina’s empathetic face is so annoying. #LongLostFamily

They are right. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“That’s right, Milandra! I’m going to have sex for breakfast, sex for dinner, sex for tea and sex for supper!” “Sounds like a great diet, luv!” “Haven’t you heard of it? It’s called the F-plan!” #PaulineCollins

Your dad might have known who he was, Esme, but nobody else did. #TheArchers

Is there a prominent Brexiter left who hasn’t torn off their mask to reveal the rancid racism beneath? Boris Johnson’s chief fluffer accusing anyone else of being over-promoted is peak process. The bitterness of insanely privileged men with empty souls knows no bounds.

Oh no, sad. Pauline Collins, star of Shirley Valentine, dies aged 85 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Did the word “jobsworth” originate on That’s Life!? Or is it older? I remember they used to have a feature with its own theme tune: “Jobsworth! Jobsworth! It’s more than me job’s worth…”

Good morning all, from a gloriously sunny Skelmersdale. Exciting day ahead, taking my mum to the eye clinic.

Oh my god, that fake “bi/lezza” family (Sarah and Co) has moved here from Twitter. Blocked.

Blimey, Corrie! “I must remember to swallow, not spit.” Something tells me it’s not 1975 anymore.

And now we’re watching #CoronationStreet. “I think she’s a bit - you know - toxic. I mean, threatening to kill me wasn’t very nice, was it?”

At my mum’s so having to watch sodding #DealOrNoDeal. Imagine actually wanting to be in the studio audience for this?

More good news! We argued strongly for primary citizenship. It builds empathy, debate, and responsibility from day one, and we’re delighted to see scientific literacy elevated. In an age of misinformation, helping pupils test claims against evidence is a vital skill. humanists.uk/2025/11/05/c...

There were 115 prisoners mistakenly released in the final year of the last Conservative Government alone. Interesting that it only becomes a major national scandal the second these releases can be blamed on a Labour government

Britain’s economy works best when people have a real stake. The Prime Minister said we must “grow our economy from the grassroots.” Our new report shows what that means in practice. Co-operation driving economic growth that lasts.

John Healey, Secretary of State for Defence: "We’ve launched the biggest renewal of forces housing in over half a century. We will end the scandal of unfit forces family homes and supercharge housebuilding on surplus Defence land."

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Will people stop saying “Not all heroes wear capes,” you tedious twats?

I’m not a fan of “The Reverend Richard Coles,” but is Murder Before Evensong” any good?

Neil Foden was lauded as one of those superstrict “superheads”, when all the time he was using his position to groom and abuse children - as well as bullying colleagues. All the red flags were ignored. www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-w...

Absolutely awful - he looked up when the driver sounded his horn, but couldn’t get out of the way in time. I see so many people - adults and children - walking along looking at their phones. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The @dailymirrornews.bsky.social really is an absolute disgrace. The actual story is the innocent wife came home and found HIM in bed with another man, so he stabbed her to shut her up.

I’m sure Matt Goodwin will be along shortly to tell us all whether LNER Customer Service Host Samir Zitouni counts as British or not. news.sky.com/story/train-...

Bugger. There’ll be no shutting him up, now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Not at all well - I think I might have gastroenteritis.

We’re very lucky round here. Have just booked to see a new Alan Ayckbourn play in Bowness, just down the road.

Eeek. Very much fancying this. Might have to get tickets. www.oldlaundrytheatre.co.uk/event/earth-...

The online baying mob shouting "Vote Reform" after Saturday's train stabbing attack may wish to note that not a single Reform MP has turned up for the Home Secretary's statement on the incident.

Labour pledge to increase minimum wage in line with inflation. That’s going to happen in April and hopefully every year Labour are in Government. Reform thinks the Minimum Wage is too high. Nigel Farage has 11 jobs and uses a structure to pay less tax on his £millions pa

Cumbria is obsessed with “foreigners”, yet nearly all our crimes are committed by home-grown crims. www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/2559211...
