@RussInCheshire Could the judge just sentence him to 4 years in jail? Nah. Wishful thinking…

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

@DavidLammy @realDonaldTrump @JDVance Seriously? Any government with any principles whatsoever should be backing away slowly from the US right now. There can be no ‘special relationship’ when one partner is Trump.

@FloellaBenjamin Lady, you are totally rocking that dress. You are amazing!

@bphillipsonMP @educationgovuk Congrats on the appointment, and your aims are laudable. Please also consider the crying need for more specialist settings for kids with additional needs. Mainstream school doesn’t work for every kid with SEND - my kids are living proof of that.

@nicolezara8527 Until you’ve experienced the pain of Endo (I was virtually menopausal by the time mine was picked up, after almost 40 years of monthly torment) or the associated health issues around PCOS (my late sister-in-law had this), you need to back right off! Good luck and respect to you x

@carolvorders @Channel4 Perhaps not but it was bloody hilarious!

@FrizFrizzle As a 53 year-old proudly blue-haired person, I salute you - and good for the lady who took the plunge. If her daughter doesn’t like it, tough tits, because, 1) it’s only hair, FFS, and 2) it’s not her hair!

@CostaCoconuts There was a pub once called The Frog and Frigate - which sounds about right, but is probably nearer to the Frog and F*#kit given Son of Stan’s proclivities…

Brilliant reply

New report reveals two-fifths of robberies in London last year involved mobile phones, with the remaining 60% involving utilities, petrol and council tax.

@oldenoughtosay I’ll never forget being told that all I needed was ‘a brisk walk’ to ease my crippling monthly pains. I was 16. I’ve had 2 kids (labour definitely easier apart from the last bit!) and gynae nurse only confirmed endo two years ago. When I was 50 🙄🤬

@LakotaMan1 WTAF? That’s beyond tasteless and out the other side into ‘utter disgrace’ territory!

@sharron_honey As mum to two teens with ASC and complex needs, my experience (echoed by a lot of other parents) is that CAMHS are so stretched they can only take kids in crisis, but of course once they’re in crisis, they’re often unable to engage and are then signed off. It’s a nightmare.

@paulbristow79 Have you met the leader of your party? Real man of the people. Sure, Elton has made a decent income (based on talent rather than nepotism, inheritance, or shafting poor people), but being wealthy and giving a crap about others aren’t mutually exclusive.

@Bren4Bassetlaw I suspect this particular brain fart of yours may have resulted in a follow-through. Congratulations.

[Lou Bell 💙🌻 @LouMBell]

@sam_clements 1) it’s a gorgeous arrangement
2) that’s awesome (even my 18 year-old agrees)!

@canadiancarol1 The pack of lies?

@caz1450 @ashleystorrie Aye - my grandad always wore his vest in the summer. Wouldn’t want burnt nipples, would you?
