These dodgy lady boxers. Far be it from me to comment on matters of which I have little knowledge but if these two were to audition to be the new James Bond, they’d be in with a shout. Just saying.
It seems Paula Vennells and her senior colleagues put ‘protecting the PO brand’ above all else. Ironic that they turn out to have been to the PO what the iceberg was to Titanic.
So many Raab supporters seem to be saying all workers are workshy unless bullied. Raab was a co-author of Britannia Unchained which famously claimed "The British are among the worst idlers in the world." Why such contempt for your fellow citizens?
In London yesterday filming a night club scene. An Intimacy Coordinator is briefing the extras on potential physical contact with the cast; Helen, 50, a stern faced northerner speaks: “If this includes acts of indecency and intimacy, I want you to know I'm completely up for it."
The finale of a TV series often sees the separate strands of the story brought together for the denouement. And now we have Downing Street parties, Lulu Lytle and cakeism all in the same scene.
@RevRichardColes Cottage/Shepherds Pies are basically a ragu with a mashed topping so no real objection. However, find Simon Hopkinson’s recipe for savoury mince which is ideally matched to mashed potatoes.
@jk_rowling I’m in awe of the fact that Robin is played by an actor who looks exactly like I imagined her and whose name is Holliday Grainger! Almost as good as Honeysuckle Weeks in Foyle’s Ear.
“What drives us down this road is sheer political prejudice. Not the facts. Because the facts do not support a case for cruelty.”
Lord Kerr destroys Priti Patel’s narrative about refugees with three simple facts.
This is magnificent TV. Bold, imaginative, seat-of-the-pants stuff & very risky. And almost all of the credit goes to people who are never seen on screen & whose names you don't know.
This cartoon from a 1937 Punch reminds us that difficulties facing a Labour Party leader are nothing new. Inspite of a looming World War 2, the party still found time for internal squabbling. Becoming PM in 1945, Clem Attlee is now rated one of our greatest prime ministers.
@PickardJE I’ve always admired the elegance with which he writes and assembles his arguments while simultaneously thinking ‘there’s no fool like an old fool’.
