The new PM of Japan Sanae Takaichi styles herself as “the Japanese Thatcher”…a bit like all those Tribute Acts such as The Australian Doors…no good can come of this

Prince Andrew finding it hard to read Virginia’s new autobiography…his sweat keeps dripping onto the pages

Absolutely appalling service from Better UK. Glass Mill Leisure Centre keeps getting block booked in the mornings, so I can only swim in the afternoon. I pay a massive annual sum for membership. Am being ripped off #betteruk #glassmillleisurecentre

After the hardly shocking news that Prince “My Problem is I’m just TOO Loyal” Andrew has been stripped of his titles, here’s a lovely song in his defence

I know I’ve mentioned it before - but there is so often a coyness about talking about the predators close to the monarchy - Mountbatten, Laurens Van Der Post, Peter Ball, Jimmy Savile - such danger in deference

The palace's decision to strip Andrew of his titles in direct response to Virginia's posthumous testimony is a long-overdue and heartbreakingly unfair confirmation that those in power believe her story to be credible. They always did. Fuck them for waiting until she was dead to say so.
It gives a whole new meaning to "don't ever trust a woman until she's dead and buried."
Thinking of her family and all survivors

Apparently the new super duper hearing aids can detect Sarcasm, indifference and quietly suppressed rage

In hindsight, I should have known better than to book a Hull Trains service…they are a truly risible train company…ah, well, only another 2 sardine-like hours to go

Hey @robinince.bsky.social Am having a particularly unpleasant journey on Hull Trains today. A 10-carriages service cut to 5…rammed…

The immense delay and eye-watering £20 Billion cost of HS2, when the money might’ve been better spent building a reliable high speed rail service between the West Coast (Liverpool) & the East (Hull)…#railways #HS2

Re-reading “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” for the first time in 30 years. I still recognise the comedy elements, but with the passing of time the sadness has greater resonance for me
