@drrosena.bsky.social I notice that you are on @itvpeston.bsky.social tonight. It’s worth pointing out that @andyburnham.bsky.social wasn’t eligible. He was applying for a waiver. Mayor’s cannot stand for Parliament. Boring pedantry from me. ‘Blocked’ isn’t correct and weaponizes things in the media

Fantastic performance from @reecedinsdale.bsky.social and cast in, “This House” from @nationaltheatre.org.uk At Home. The best gift ever. Drinking, fighting, swearing anniche UK politics. What more is there in life? Labour Whips have it easy. Look what Harrison and Cocks did with no majority!

If you live in the East Riding of Yorkshire, where I was brought up and lived until being forced to leave by the collapse of Adult Social Care, please do not stay at home on Thursday. Being rightfully angry about Gaza and other things is not a good reason to allow Hate to defeat Hope.
