Special thanks to all those working today to keep the country functioning

Not a scene from “Love Actually” but me being distracted by Larry the Cat on a recent visit to number 10

@rupahuq.bsky.social now holding the BBC Chair to account for the frequency of the appearances of Nigel Farage & other #ReformUK figures on BBC shows (eg #bbclaurak #bbcqt) despite having only 5 MPs 👏👏

Good - so many people want that question asked!

Very poignant multi-faith #RemembranceSunday service in Ealing. I took part in the march to the memorial and laid a wreath in tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice

Lovely parade including cadets/ guides/ scouts/ armed forces/ veterans

Reform monopolising BBC airwaves!

Unelected Zia Yussuf on Laura Kuenssberg Sunday then on Monday Politics Live and Newsnight. Then recently Tory turned Reform MP on Tuesday Politics Live and News as well as elected Con now Reform Cllr on London Sunday Politics show

What happened to BBC balance?
