Also, aren't these also the ones who could afford a proper burial. Those who couldn't ended up in the workhouse and a paupers grave.

"Actor who clearly thinks they are acting in a completely different film."

Surely the King has the best excuse not to go: his health. Visit postponed and everyone can just take a step back.
The idea that the King would agree with a bully who trash talks UK shows he has no clue about the Royal Family. (Who have had some issues with American relationships over the years.)

If we could have a look at 'Kevin's' social media, I think it would reveal that he was not a supporter of Starmer's until 2 weeks ago. Maybe in future, if someone claims this, ask them for specifics of areas they supported him on before proceeding to the open criticism they are desperate to share.

I think a little more focus on standing up to Trump at home in America would be good. Also, can we please take into consideration that Ukraine is very much at the forefront of all these leaders not 'Standing tough'. Looking tough won't help actual Ukrainians in a real war right now.

Basic translation of real meaning: "I was walking along my very rich, posh street and saw someone who did not look rich enough or posh enough to be here. I was outraged that someone like that is allowed to freely walk down a street like mine. London has fallen."

So powerful from Fleet. I have been furious all week about how the opportunists were exploiting the victims for their own political games and to hear it said so eloquently by Fleet, I hope those people reflect on their behaviour this week. I doubt they will though.

What they want is a world where women organise every part of mens lives for them, including the admin of transporting millions of other women to these gulags, but to never expect a say in society. A passive and supportive matriarchy, if you will. Guys like Nick couldn't organise a party in a brewery

I haven't bought anything for years from 'The Big A', as it is known in our house. So many other businesses out there that can rival cost and quality. I am also clinging on to the 90s vibe of actually leaving the house to purchase something.

Comments were vile, so no he does not speak for England. Is there a certain level of rich where you simply do not care about anything impacting your business or brand? Maybe we could term it 'Ratner Rich.'

That's a lot of words to describe 'white'. Just say you want it white, Megyn, it will save everyone time.

As a former member, I am amazed that we have learned nothing from the Jo Swinson years. This is opportunistic Ed. Also dangerous. There is absolutely no need for calls for a general election unless you want a Reform govt. Irresponsible and not something I would have thought you would become.

I am furious for the victims. A big scalp like Starmer will make the opportunists feel like they ' have done something' whilst polishing their career aspirations. Not one abuser will face justice and no victim will see justice done. The perps getting away with it all over again as Labour implodes.

So many back-stabbers in one room.

I am so angry that instead of prioritizing victims of Epstein abuse, some in Labour have decided this is too good an opportunity to pass up for their own career advancement. Knifing all comers. Rats in a sack politics.

Please make a video about how naked opportunism by some MPs is showing they are exploiting victims for own gain. Also, how are we in UK going to make Starmer accountable for crimes he didn't commit, but allowing rapists and paedophiles to get away, scot free yet again? I am furious for the victims.

Opportunism would be how this is viewed. Also, a self indulgent action like resignation helps not one survivor of abuse. Maybe MPs: keep your job and instead prioritize getting justice for victims and offering support for all abused in the justice system.

I loved this book. Listened on audiobook in the car and ended up driving the long way everywhere so I could listen to more each day. Would love to read about Caro again one day.

Hope you had a lovely birthday!

Listening to Orbital by Samantha Harvey and reading H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald before going to the cinema next week.

Now give stats on how many were released by the Conservative govt before? This is not a brand new phenomena.

You deserve a medal after this level of torture. Either that or a long holiday without wi-fi or a TV.

Don't you just hate it when your big moment in film gets overshadowed by hideous real world events set in motion by your own husband? So relatable. #BeBest

One moment of lightness.

Wow, she's changed from Live, Laugh, Love.

I have always liked Burnham, but giving up Mayor to be an MP smacked of personal ambition to unseat PM and nothing else. He was elected by the people of Manchester and has two more years left. Surely they all should be able to 'get what they voted for' across the whole region when they elected him.

This is fabulous news. I can't wait to see the new series with @nigella.bsky.social She will be amazing. Surely @sturdyalex.bsky.social needs to be a contestant!

Sadly, no matter what the decision had been, certain individuals in the media would have a field day. Once they got podcasts, they needed an endless stream of content and this is where we have ended up: endless commentary and gossip masquerading as journalism.

As a Brit, I have been shocked by many things, but the lack of a proper operational uniform is so odd. What Border are they guarding in Minneapolis? Ripped crotch trousers, Vans, all different jackets. These people could be cosplaying agents and buying their own kit and no one would know.
