I do hope we will see the end of him tomorrow

Have been out at a lovely party tonight so have not seen #strictly. Wonder how the move to online voting and being restricted to 5 votes will affect the voting.

The suspension of Met officers over alleged abuse and extremist sympathies shows why our @LibDemWomen amendment at conference was so vital — policing must be transparent, accountable, and free from prejudice if it is to earn public trust.

Hazel may be blind but she wants you to know she is still capable of swiping a beaker full of treats off the kitchen table and enjoying them at leisure.

Being blind hasn’t affected Hazel’s morning routine of eating her breakfast, checking Bernie’s bowl to see is he has left anything (as if he would) and checking round the food bins to see if I have dropped the merest morsel, a more lucrative pursuit. Any food on the floor is hers according to law.

I mean I voted to keep Anton in many times but I don’t think I could vote for a GBeebie

That casting vote change is going to be interesting. Wonder how the online vote will change things too if we are restricted to 3 votes each #scd #strictly

Fantastic result and bodes well for David Green in May

I suppose #strictly wouldn’t be Strictly if you didn’t tell Craig to go forth and multiply on many occasions. #scd

Karen and Carlos are hilarious! Lost a bit of synchronisation at times but it was a fast and furious and fun jive. This has potential. #scd #strictly

How on earth did Amber pull that out of the bag at 5 minutes notice. Made me cry! Looking forward to what they are going to do next. #scd #strictly

Hmmm. What do you do when your least favourite celeb is teamed up with one of your favourite professionals? Amy has so much patience. I know he is trying to look serious but that was more Donald Trump pout. And he www walking not dancing. #scd #strictly

We do need Là Voix to be here for Daddy Richard’s 80th. #scd #strictly

Love that we are seeing Chris and Là Voix! Beautiful American Smooth but one of the lifts was a bit of a guddle. Legs were messy. But given that there was a technical muck up the start it was fantastic. #scd #strictly

That was not a bad wee samba from Balvindar. She has the presence and the sass. The feet will come. #scd #strictly

Jimmy did some difficult stuff very well in that quickstep. Very impressive - good posture and his footwork was lovely. #scd #stricrly

Vicky looks great on the dance floor but I felt that she needs a bit more energy. But her nerves will be better next week I suspect. #scd. #strictly

George and Alexis: he really feels the music which is lovely but his posture needs some work. Good start #scd #strictly

Caron Lindsay @caronmlindsay.bsky.social · 11d

If it comes to a battle of the dad dancers, I fear Ross will lose to Stefan. Judges are giving loads of useful feedback. He does need to learn where to put his feet but the slide was fab. #scd #strictly

If this is what happens when Billy Elliott grows up, I am here for it. Acrobatics, great choreography, just brilliant. Fantastic from Lewis and Katya. #scd #strictly

My goodness Ellie knows how to perform!! That just looked fantastic - full of sass. The two of them looked to be having fantastic fun!! Made me smile. #scd #strictly

Stefan and Dianne could not have been more wholesome or cheesier. He does get the music though and they had a nice frame. He might last! And I adore the partnership. #scd #strictly

Next year you'll need to sign into the BBC with your government ID to vote for strictly, because of boat

Harry is just showing off now. #scd #strictly

Caron Lindsay @caronmlindsay.bsky.social · 11d

Well, I don’t think Harry will have to worry about going home for some time. Those press ups! Not sure the stripe on his trousers helped as it showed when the lines didn’t quite work and rhey weren’t in sync but who cares. I like him. #scd #strictly
