Daughter is in Vietnam. It's six hours ahead. She wakes up as I'm going to sleep. By the time I get home from work she's asleep. 😔

I'd actually forgotten how extraordinary it is that when I won the leadership - I wasn't interviewed as it was too close to our party conference interviewed.

And then refused a second time!

Part of the antidote to all of this is creating our own media platforms.

Hey @boldpolitics.bsky.social 👋🏼

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday.

Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month

I think the best thing I've ever eaten was the toast my grandparents made on a baby Belling in their caravan. White bread with lashings of butter and strawberry jam. Made with love.

Love that my daughter is flying in this.

Daughter: (scrolling through films) Why are there so many romance films with old people in them?

Me: Because old people can have romance too.

Daughter: Yeah but noone wants to see it.

I still want to know if 'end of the first term' means Christmas or half term. It should mean Christmas but people have started calling half terms - terms.

My daughter was never in trouble at school. She had a teacher for a while in Y4 who told the class they were having 'detention' the next day. She was so anxious that she vomited in school the next day and had to be sent home before the whole class punishment.

I asked the office to send out the updated schedule for parents. Unfortunately it was sent as a Google Drive link so I'm now getting access requests from all the parents. How's your day been?

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place"

"Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people"

-Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

Post mammogram shopping might not have been the best idea.
