I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.
Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.
Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

Absolutely shocking by Trump. 👇
BREAKING: US voted against Ukraine's UN resolution which branded Russia the "aggressor" & demanded withdrawal of its troops.
US on list of 18 nations also incl Russia, Iran and North Korea to vote against.
UK & most European nations among 93 states to back Ukrainian resolution. China abstained.

It's not often you see a TV drama made about someone we've interviewed! @sussexbylines.co.uk interviewed investigative journalist Nick Davies in 2020, as part of its Defenders of Democracy series. Now David Tennant is playing him in ‘The Hack’, about on the UK's notorious phone-hacking scandal!

Ooo, nice surprise: PLR statement, monies earned when people borrow my books from the library.
Please remember that a) libraries are amazing, b) that you can get books for free, and c) that the author gets royalties when you do.
Keep your library going, and get your fave writers some biscuits :)

So on the pardon front, we have a day when an outgoing president feels the need to pardon lots of people who haven’t committer crimes, and an incoming president who will likely pardon lots of people who definitely have (Jan 6th insurrectionists).

And those of you who aren’t marmalade-makers, I must advise you, while the Seville oranges are here, just to use their juice anywhere you’d usually use lemon (or lime) juice. Fantastic with fish – and so much more besides!

The best thing about January? Seville oranges!
If anyone would like to try making marmalade this year, I’ve been using @fibeckett.bsky.social’s recipe since 2019 and it’s a doozy:

Had forgotten the tediousness of travelling down to Málaga on the train on a Friday evening , surrounded by stag/hen weekenders. God knows they're bad enough in the city but being trapped on a train with them is 🤬
