Mother of two, grandma of four and great-grandma of 7, yes I'm that old! Life-long Labour supporter and staunch Remainer. Lover of France, wine and good food.
So despite Henry's dad making it clear that they "do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension”, Farage uses his death in an emergency address to create division for his own gain.
An awful politician.
This is why this disgusting cruel sport should be banned across Britain @GreenPartyHan@ZackPolanski
Shamefully racing took place today in extreme heat at Dunstall Park, Harlow, Doncaster and Sunderland. Temperatures rose above 33°C in the UK today and despite advice from real vets and leading animal charities advising people to keep their dogs out of the heat, the dog abusing industry went ahead and allowed racing.
Norway just made a decision that will be remembered for years.
The country has officially ended fur farming nationwide. No more mink or foxes will be bred, kept in cages, and killed for clothing. An industry built on animal suffering is now gone.
This took years. Investigations exposed what life in fur farms looked like. Animals lived in small wire cages. They could not run, dig, or behave naturally. Many showed clear signs of stress. People saw the reality and spoke up.
Public pressure grew. Animal welfare groups kept pushing. More citizens questioned whether fashion could justify that cruelty. Lawmakers responded and passed a ban. Farmers received time to transition and shut down their operations. That process is now complete.
This matters. Thousands of animals will not be born into cages. Fewer lives will be treated like products. Norway chose compassion over tradition and profit.
The impact also reaches beyond Norway. Decisions like this show other countries that change is possible. They push others to look at their own systems and ask if they still make sense.
Consumers are driving this shift too. More people choose alternatives. More brands stop using fur. Demand is changing, and industries are forced to follow.
This is what progress looks like. It builds over time through awareness, pressure, and action. Then one day, what once seemed normal is no longer accepted.
Norway has drawn that line.

There's a lot of talk about angry MPs, but on this platform there are tons of angry and very frustrated Labour members who support @Keir_Starmer. We haven't bought into any of the frenzied circus that the media has become, and we all loudly condemn the opportunists, plotters and schemers who could destroy the Labour Party. I think we're representative of a larger number of people who don't use the platform but know how to use their minds. I'm grateful to all the MP's who back Keir Starmer no matter what and who are making their presence felt here. #IStandWithStarmer
Isn't it funny when the media go out they only find people who criticise the gov.Never someone who says,I got a £40 increase a month in my pension.I got an increase with the minimum wage,my child now goes to a breakfast club,I got a big increase for the child uplift.Funny that.
If people are calling for @Keir_Starmer to go, he must be doing a terrible job
And yet he isn't
Think of the mess Labour inherited
Look at the progress made in under 2 years
Look beyond the right-wing media campaign

And just like that, the very wealthiest party in the U.K. backed by foreign billionaires is supported by the very poorest members of society who dislike foreigners. You couldn’t make this shit up.
@SophyRidgeSky This is not news. Farage taking a £5m bung is news. 45% reduction in small boats and falling NHS waiting lists are news. This is gossip. Journalists are supposed to know the difference.
Friends! You saw yesterday how much Ron loves Baby Dog. They are constantly playing… and Ron manages to outsmart Baby Dog most of the time. The thing is, Baby Dog can’t fit inside the Donut. It’s his NEMESIS! Happy Friday! 🧡🤎 #cats#dogs

If one person feels seen, connects to fictional humans through story telling, it’s all worth while for me.
To my on screen family.. I love you. X
And big love to you all for following Ravi’s journey🤍
Outstanding video, Malcolm! You and Baby Dog did a fantastic job of mentoring the Triplets. I’d forgotten how tiny they were when they were rescued. #ThrowbackThursday
It is genuinely incredible that two brothers from a tiny rainy town in Scotland were able to both make it to world number 1 at the same time at professional tennis. The stuff of fairytales and magic. ✨
The Murray brothers are both retired now but what an unreal journey it was.
My daughter Annika is proudly autistic and 12 years old.
She drew this butterfly from a photo she took herself — every vein, every scale, rendered by hand on a tablet.
She signs everything she makes. Dates it. Like she already knows it matters.
She's turning 13 tomorrow. Please share this for her birthday. Let's make her day.
