My daughter's schoolbag was stolen from outside Pizza Express on Cromwell Rd SW7 this pm. Her GCSE art sketchbook was in it, a term's worth of irreplaceable work. If anyone finds a bag in the South Ken area, please could they hand it in to the police. I have reported it. Pls RT

@EdGambleComedy can you please get Lee Mack on the @taskmaster pod and ask him why he used a food processor as a bowl and then blended the banana with his own mouth
Our new research into what blocks women's careers found an issue called The Entitlement Gap. It’s the way women are conditioned to feel less entitled. To expect less, to demand less, to take up less space. Help us to close The #EntitlementGap https://t.co/iSeckQ7Kxx👇
