@essexhighways I've been stuck in the car park fir 3 hours, along with many others! I think you may need to rethink the plan! 😂😭

[Rachel @FlightyRachel]

Avoid #broomfield A and E if you can, no one can leave the car park! #chelmsford #essex

@jonsopel I think that might be botox bruising!

The most exciting thing to happen to my Twitter account in all the years I've had it! I really appreciate your answers, and I even gained a follower. 🎉

PS Here's a link to the special edition of the @notanother1pod that was focused on listeners' questions. A very direct question to me, @greenmiranda, @iainmartin1 and @steverichards14 from @FlightyRachel to identify any specific opinion that had been changed by being part of our weekly cross-party conversation was particularly penetrating.

This is fascism…this is Becky Burke she was on a back packing tour of North America and crashed into Trumps immigration pogroms.

Her father writes
“Our daughter Becky, a 28-year-old British tourist, has been caught up in the recent immigration crackdown in the US. What was meant to be a life-changing four-month backpacking trip across North America has turned into a nightmare.

Despite being a tourist with no criminal record, she was handcuffed and taken to a detention facility in Tacoma, Washington.

Becky’s current conditions are deeply concerning. She is sharing a cell, surviving on a diet of cold rice, potatoes, and beans (she is vegan), and has limited access to phone calls. Visitors are restricted to speaking through a glass screen via telephone.

All her possessions have been confiscated, and she feels isolated and desperate to come home.

We are doing everything we can. We are in touch with the British Consulate in London and San Francisco. An American friend is helping by sending funds to her inmate account so she can buy basic necessities like tea. But progress has been slow, and we urgently need more support.

We are asking for your help. Please share Becky’s story widely through your networks. We hope to connect with experts, legal professionals, or anyone who can offer advice or assistance. Becky is a kind, adventurous young woman who simply wants to return home to her family.”

@ThatAlexWoman Where is the proof of this? Apart from Facebook huns sharing 'warnings'? Used to be white vans near primary schools.... Same old bs tbh

@sarahrutherfor2 @SheilaMarieF I don't want to be flippant, but whilst we don't choose when we're born, a medical professional often does. I've had one baby induced and three planned c sections, all before a single contraction.

@MAFShysteria My theory is that Richelle caught him doing producer led stuff, which hasn't been shown because we all have to pretend there isn't any producer led stuff. This is why she is coming over as unhinged, but is so certain he's fake!

Sometimes you catch a band right on the cusp of getting really big, and it's the most exciting thing! I feel lucky to live near #chinnerys, a tiny venue with big clout. Saw #theks on Thursday and it was intense! #indiecultclub put on nights to remember!

@greateranglia My son's school are all travelling up to London to the theatre and are at Wickford atm. Nothing anyone can do and first world problems I know, but I'm so sad for them!

[Rachel @FlightyRachel]

I saw Passing Strange last night at @youngvictheatre, with my sons aged 15 and 26; we had no idea what it was about, and they hate musicals 😬 but we LOVED IT! Such a multi talented cast, it's exhilarating, funny, sad... And tickets are a bargain. Do go.

@NewStatesman @hannahsbee Thank you so much for writing this. I found it hard to read. My own traumatic birth experience was 26 years ago; I was advised not to think about it as I had a healthy baby. That made me feel guilty then but now makes me very sad for the young and traumatised mum I was then.
