And another lovely Muslim man doing something kind for the poor and vulnerable this Christmas Day. Thank you, Shahram. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Now this is lovely. Thank you, Mubinul and team. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/whats-on/foo...

Uh-oh, Kenton! That’s torn it. #TheArchers

Oh, Hannah! You devious so-and-so. #TheArchers

Is this the first time in years we’ve heard mention of Holly The Silent Dog? #TheArchers

George, self-pitying little twat. #TheArchers

Good news for those ex-miners. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Blimey, someone has replied to my post on the locals FB page calling me a shining star and saying my smile brightens the day! ☺️

Moreover - Longhi offered to pay his Reform UK opponent to stand down in the General Election. He also offered him any job he wanted if he won his seat. Longhi’s Chief of Staff was then banned from the Conservatives for stealing constituent data.

Amazing. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Wow. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just had a lovely (but exhausting) afternoon misinforming tourists and selling them last-minute Christmas gifts.

The right used to do a thing where they counted how often Obama said “I” in a speech and called him a narcissist. Now they give us this fascist orange shit stain.

Yesterday Labour launched their Animal Welfare Strategy with dozens of hugely popular policies long called for by the public. This is surely the Green Party's bread and butter. They should be all over, pointing out any flaws, gaps or issues. Instead we get silence from them. 1/2

Some brilliant news here! More people to get free NHS prescriptions, dental and eye care in England. The Labour government are expanding free provision of these services for care leavers, up to their 25th birthday. The move will benefit tens of thousands of people for up to 7 years. 1/2

What the BBC does best - a mixture of fawning and sneeriness. Royal Christmas cards have a touchy-feely look this year www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In 2010 he stepped down as a Tory councillor to “spend more time with his family”. www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/5060853...

Absolutely horrifying case. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Blimey, the CA’s summary of The Briefing Room (just before tonight’s #TheArchers) is unusually truthful for the BBC. “Trump’s embrace of Patriotic Europeans - basically, the far-right…”

Oh do shut up, you Tory wankers.

Oh my god - horrible. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’ve booked two tickets to see #TheArchers Live At 75 in Brighton next summer, and OH is every bit as thrilled as you would expect.

Maybe this is where the concept of One Song To The Tune Of Another originated. #ISIHAC

It was only a couple of years ago that I discovered “While Shepherds Watched…” has also been put to the tune of “From Ilkley Moor Bah’t’at”.

Went to a carol service this evening, and was surprised at how many carols (or verses therein) it turned out I didn’t actually know.

Impressive indeed. Hardle 🟦🟪 #1414 4/8 ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 hardle.herokuapp.com

The Spanish for having a quickie is “hacer el polvo” (literally, to do the dusting). Just noticed my mantelpiece could do with a bit of a polish.

I had 2p to spend, and went straight to the book stall. I was debating between the book and a bundle of Disney comics, which were each priced at 2p. The lady at the stall let me have both - and I have never forgotten her kindness.

You'd have to be really very stupid to believe this one. But maybe that's it. Maybe Farage’s followers are just thick and gullible.

Watched a programme last night about the making of Pipes Of Peace. Paul McCartney is so young! And so lovely.

Fucking hell, George! #TheArchers

Right, I’m going in… #TheArchers

My brother went to The Black Country Museum yesterday. It’s all done out for Christmas - the “1968 council house” has a Blue Peter advent crown in the living room. 😊

Haven’t listened to #TheArchers yet but posts from you lot are making me trepidatious.

Just listened to a sermon from a VICAR who thinks Xmas is a “lazy, modern coinage”. 🤦‍♀️

Creepy twat. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Good god, and one of those arrested is a 40-yr-old man, FFS. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Bit better than Mick’s effort last year (or was it the year before?) #TheArchers www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

He also sent anonymous, malicious emails to staff. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
