I think we're one or two bad polls away from someone in the government promising to deport any immigrants who won't get rid of their accent.

Someone really needs to take Starmer aside and have a quiet word about not being so bloody stupid.

So proud of them.

If you take one thing from World Suicide Prevention Day today it should be this: if you think someone isn’t OK, ask them about it. You can interrupt someone’s suicidal thoughts. You could even save their life.

Let’s prevent suicide today. Because tomorrow’s too late.
