Writer of romantic comedy. Walker of hills. Mother of daughters. Defender of Rights. I don't pray, I vote.
It's taken a few years but I've finished my first book, The Wrong Boat. A romantic Christmas comedy set in Liverpool and Norway. I will probably finish my second book, The Wrong House before I find a publisher but it's been an interesting journey so far. #BookSky #NewAuthor #RomanticComedy

I have reached the last month of this beautiful book celebrating 250 years of Jane Austen. Combined with the podcast it has created a magical experience celebrating Austen's life, her writings and her legacy.

Evidently, Britain’s journalistic hacks see no need to scrutinise ‘Dirty Farage' his insistence that he is not a racist, his associations with Nathan Gill, or the murky circumstances surrounding the purchase of his Frinton property.

Really interesting study, looks like the water needs of carbon capture projects has been overlooked - in fact there’s no big picture in water at all, domestic supply is licensed and controlled, biz supply is a free for all. An analogue system in a digital world as Dieter Helm says.

If you look at the ridiculous case studies they dredged up & the desperate attempts to hang Reeves for ‘lying’ about the rationale behind a policy she *did not introduce*, you might work out why right-wing media is straining *not* to talk about the finer detail of her (unremarkable) budget.

I'm wondering if Kegseth is hell-bent on going after Mark Kelly because he outranked him. Small men do that kind of thing.

This is one of the big accounts boosting Tommy Robinson, Farage and Reform and ‘English Patriots’.

Do your job

And the next time you have Farage on, please ask him directly:

…what were the motivations behind this?

Tories:
Phase one: appoint stupid Jenrick to stuff hotels with immigrants.
Phase two: while in government, not giving a f*ck about it for one single day.
Phase three: whining about the problems they created when in opposition.

I’d have thought nothing cuts more against our precious British values than selling out your country for Russian bribes…

And yet Reform, the right‑wing press, and all those self‑styled guardians of these values have nothing to say

…funny that.

A few weekends ago my husband & I were away, trying to relax and spend time together after the death of our son. Whilst there an accident happened at the factory he runs, he spent ages on his phone & laptop helping to sort out the response. But this bastard took holiday during our biggest crisis!!

Johnson was proved to be away on an ‘extended break’ walking dogs, riding motor cycles and hosting parties instead of being at No 10 making decisions to protect the country during the early stages of the pandemic.

Surely that is a clear dereliction of his duty as PM?

I hope Baroness Hallett has Boris Johnson hauled up before the courts for contempt. Seems he lied under oath to the Covid inquiry.

I'll never forget the horror of the COVID ward I was on as a patient either. If Johnson walks away from this gross negligence in office with just a smirk & an arrogant wink those days I spent there & can't forget will seem even more horrendous.

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.
