As I watched the #Strictly Final with my over excited 12 yr old son, the glitz, glamour and fab-u-lous dancing, I told him this is what being British is all about. Inclusion, joy, love, perseverance and having a blast ❤️ Congrats to Kaz & Carlos! But my ❤️ was with George & his 🤩 show dance 🥳👏🏻

Who benefits if NHS drug prices soar? Donald Trump and big pharma. Just one more way he’s menacing Britain | Polly Toynbee

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.
As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

NYC friends: this poor dog was almost on his freedom ride out of the pound when his foster didn't show up on him. He's now in danger of being put down. Do you have space in your home and heart to adopt him? ❤️
Also, lots of animals at this NYC shelter who need a home.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.
