I’m now imagining him eating copious amounts of marmalade sandwiches around the Houses of Parliament.
Kemi Badenoch labels Andy Burnham a 'Paddington Bear Prime Minister'. What is that even supposed to mean?

If you close the loophole that lets people like me avoid tax, I will make good on my threat to avoid tax by moving to Monaco, which I actually did 40 years ago, to avoid tax.

Today is #StomaAwarenessDay - here’s what I’ve learnt in the past nine weeks:
- mine is called Sven (when he’s good). Getting him quite literally saved my life.
- I have to wear a small bag almost all the time, as I have no control over my output.

Your weekend reminder that Nigel Farage wants to
- leave the ECHR
- repeal the Equality Act
- Strip back workers rights
- Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts
- repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes no fault evictions
He is not on your side

From the looks of things we just left Northern Ireland behind - which if we’re being honest is what we usually seem to do.
This will make sailing from Ireland to mainland Europe MUCH easier . . . though it does, as ever, raise questions about Northern Ireland.
Bad news, everyone - Brexit has apparently caused the entire United Kingdom to detach from Europe and drift several thousand miles west.
We are now slowly approaching Newfoundland.
Can someone please let Eurostar now there might be some issues.

It is unbelievable how we treat older people in this country. Some people need to remember we will all be old at some point and will need help. Be kind it costs nothing

However busy you are make sure your friends & family know you love them every day.
Make that call, read the story, put your laptop & phone aside & listen when they tell you about your day.
You’re replaceable at work by not at home.

I think it's absolutely mad that today there's a *national news story* about 400 oil platform workers losing their jobs, and the government being blamed.
25% of the UK TV industry lost their jobs in the last 4 years and we never hear a peep about it!
Some jobs are 'real jobs' I guess.

I like Jamie Oliver but this is infuriating because AGAIN nobody seems to be aware/care that our biggest issue is portion size. The decline over the last ten years has been remarkable.
