I’m not a violent woman but Evri’s automated customer service is enough to radicalise anyone.

Opinion | You can tag as much faux spirituality on this as you like, but these are traditional (read patriarchal) gender roles, repackaged for the modern dating scene – and it needs to be consigned to the dustbin

There’s another link there to donate to homeless women. You don’t have to go through Amazon.

#DamePatriciaRoutledge - what an absolute powerhouse she was. Although she was best known as the indomitable Hyacinth Bucket, I absolutely adored her as Victoria Wood’s Kitty.

Rest in peace, wonderful woman

OMG!! We only went and did it!!! #BetwixtTheSheets won the Listener’s Choice Award at this year’s British podcast awards !!! Thank you so so much to everyone who voted!!! YOU LEGENDS! Thank you to the entire Betwixt team. I am properly blown away!!
Kate standing in front of a screen that says BRITISH PODCAST AWARDS, holding a BRITISH PODCAST AWARD, for the listener’s choice awards and a cushion with the Betwixt the sheets logo on. She is grinning like a woman who didn’t think she would win so got stuck into the free drinks. A group shot of the whole betwixt team and the team from the After Dark podcast. Everyone is smiling and waving award about Kate after a few too many free drinks, posing on a motorcycle outside TGI Fridays. She is trying to do a sexy face but looks like she’s trying to suck jam through a sieve. A shot of a cushion with the betwixt the sheets logo on, the actual award that Kate won, and a necklace with a vulva on it that Kate wore as a “lucky twat” luck charm.

“I can tell you which friends have had chlamydia, but I have no idea which tax bracket they are in.”

Is money that last taboo? Do you talk openly about your finances with friends and family and if not, why not?

I know what makes my friends orgasm but not what they earn - it's the last taboo

Then why do I need this as well?

But you’ll still need all the other documentation as well. It’s not like this is going to replace passports and NI numbers. You’ll just need this as well or you won’t be able to works despite having all the required documents, apart from an app on your phone.

Exactly! Why the hell does forcing me to instal an app on my phone control immigration?? Nasty, reactionary, piece of legislation that is pandering to reform.

So I have a passport, a drivers licence, a national security number, a government gateway ID, a birth certificate, bank statements, mortgage statements, utility statements, tax records, and a p60 - but I will now need a digital ID card on my phone to prove who I am?? Fuck off, Starmer.

Well, I hope they didn’t use Yodel because I once ordered some socks from La Redoute and they never arrived.
A screen shot from Le Monde newspaper that reads; Bayeux Tapestry was quietly moved before its loan to the UK. France's loan of the artifact, which was added to UNESCO's 'Memory of the World' register in 2007, has sparked an outcry from heritage experts concerned over the ancient embroidery's already fragile state. The Bayeux Museum showcases the Bayeux Tapestry, which portrays scenes from the 1066 Battle of Hastings, during its final days on view before the museum closes for renovations and transfers the historic embroidery to the British Museum, in Bayeux, France, August 29, 2025.

Go vote for Kate. I don’t even like podcasts, and this one has helped me maintain a shred of sanity in these terrible times.
