NHS Blood is crying out for donors. Try and donate after a little period away and they refuse me for no reason. Seriously annoyed!

Tempted to email my MP (and Immigration Minister) and ask for border controls to be set up around Piddington. Let them see the consequences of their actions.

He has blamed #Brexit as a negative for 10 years of shit. Was not expecting that. Let's see if it leads to any concrete changes (yet to be convinced).

There is virtually no evidence in #TheTraitors. Why do they ignore the tiny bits that do exist and pounce on utter BS? Rachel told them who she was!

We're Sheffield Wednesday, We're on our way back! Only been to Hillsborough once in the last two years (and rare since COVID), can't wait to get back very soon. #SWFC #UTO #WAWAW

So Rรถhl and the team have gone and the North Stand is closed. What's next in the Chansiri shitshow? If the stand wasn't safe at the end of last season, he should be prosecuted. #ChansiriOut #SWFC.

I've been thinking what should #Labour do in response to the last election and come up with a mini-manifesto. 1. Shut up about culture war stuff. They can lose to both the left and right but cannot win. 2. Shut up about immigration numbers. Again can lose to both left and right but cannot win. 1/...

If towns and cities are developed in a way which is attractive and have local character, surely it would lead to less opposition. 7. Sing the victories until people are fed up of hearing them. They seem far more interested in publicising their failures. 5/6

If they can't show people that they are on their side. No one is going to vote for them. Faragists are never going to vote for them, why bother chasing their votes. Liberals, like me, or more left people are so disappointed with them they won't get our votes unless they do something different.

Take policy costs out of bills and pay with general taxes. Try and cut the link between expensive gas and what people pay. 5. Do green stuff but make it focused on people. Scrap the ยฃ22bn on carbon capture which is a huge number but won't help anyone. Instead, use that money to put solar panels 3/..

batteries and heat pumps on lower income and elderly people's homes. I reckon you do 10% of houses for the same cost. Takes the sting out of WFA issues as well. 6. I very much support growth through planning reform but people are scared of new developments. Why not push beauty onto developments. 4/.

If they do anything on immigration they should process as faster as possible. Get people out of hotels and either into jobs or deport. 3. Show that big business cannot trample on the laws by giving dodgy water execs a kicking. 4. Make electricity as cheap as possible. 2/...

Currently attempting to make my first ever sourdough loaf. I can see why they cost ยฃ5 or whatever at the shop as it seems a ridiculous process. It better be worth it...
