A brilliant wordsmith, continuing that great female music hall tradition of piano, songs and double-entendre.

‘She’d been drinking with Julie Walters. I heard a crash’: Victoria Wood’s genius – by her friends, fans and actors Dazzling performer, brilliant writer, maddening perfectionist, Easter Egg hunt maestro … on the 10th anniversary of Wood’s death, those who knew her best celebrate the shy introvert who redefined come...

On the 10th anniversary of her death, people who worked with Victoria Wood reinforce the things that came across strongly in Jasper Rees's biography: that she was painfully shy, often a nightmare to work with, and an unqualified linguistic genius.

Yesterday we had an incident in the bar. We're pretty disgusted by it and we're gutted that it happened in our bar (as we're woke, lefty, liberal do gooders and we're proud), we'd like to extend our apologies to the family that had to suffer the indignity of their paths crossing with bigots, we really do strive to make the bar a safe space Jago, our team member dealt with the men as soon as he realised what was happening, As the men left (were kicked out by Jago) one of them said "Come on, we're getting kicked out for our views" I'd like it to stand on record that that is exactly why they were kicked out. If your views are racist, dont come If your views are homophobic, dont come If your views are misogynistic or misandrist, dont come If your views are transphobic, dont come. If you have wound up in our bar and you hold those views, keep your damn mouth shut. There's loads to talk about that cant be labled a hate crime, stick to those easy and numerous topics (and ni-one will ever find out that youre terrible). We dont care if you think we're the thought police for telling you that hate crimes will not be tolerated in our establishment. We are a freehouse, you're on our property and we sell a controlled substance. Youre here by consent and not by right, cross any lines that we dont consent to and you can find somewhere else to drink immediately. Racist? Drink - somewhere else.

Black text on white reads: No place for homophobia, fascism, sexism, racism, hate.

Love and solidarity to our friends down the hill at Drink? #HebdenBridge who've sadly had to deal with some bigoted visitors this weekend. Our places are safe spaces and not the place for you.

Thanks Henrike. Quite a few German clubs are in there. St. Pauli etc. Interesting that you have in German football the 50+1 ownership model with fans still having a controlling interest.

Starmer is running out of people to throw under the bus.

He has few allies in the Cabinet, fewer still in the PLP and none at all in the CLPs.
