Emma B

All the interesting places to eat in the City of London and yet there’s a queue outside Nando’s?!

Amen

Would love to have read my book on the train this morning but alas, I have sat opposite 2 women who can’t stop talking, now telling us how good AI is to design a cake 😡

I wish we could all just leave the clocks alone. Seen lots of reasons online for it today and over the years and I don’t agree with any of them. Leave them alone.

The real inversion is Burnham defending freedom of movement on merits, to the benefit of Britons; rather than a "price to be paid" for market access. For the first time by a PM since.... 2004...?

If anyone knows someone or some way I can get tickets for Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt at The Moth Club I’d be eternally grateful. I’ve tried and been on every waitlist but no luck and it’s my dream gig 🙏🏼

Big up the Spydus #library App. Always got a book on the go, the reserve or waiting to pickup list.

One of life’s small pleasures. Putting a match to an already laid fire 🔥

The Duchy of Cornwall says it collected £503,711 rent from the King for Highgrove House. Prince William is the Duke of Cornwall. Father pays rent to son. No money left the family but nice PR. Previously, King Charles was the Duke of Cornwall. He was paying rent to himself.

Yeah so guess who booked Reformer Pilates for 7pm on a Friday night. In a storm. That would be me.

Why is #Vinted suddenly flooded with overseas sellers? Nice £2 T-shirt with £6.61 postage 🤔 No thanks.

Tumble weed across legacy media about ITV's exposé of Reform. Can you imagine the hysteria if an SNP councillor advocated for concentration camps or a Muslim Labour candidate said he wants to shoot MPs he considers traitors? The Mail front pages, Telegraph thinkpieces, and somber Today interviews?

hatttttttte this I hate it I hate it it makes me so sad I hate it www.ft.com/content/989c...

Fabulous. 40 and ended up on the beach. Why I hate balloons #20minutebeachclean #plasticpollution #keepbritaintidy

Just thinking 1986 was an absolute banger of a year for music when Cliff Richard appears #NotTOTP

Danny Dyer sitting next to Ray Winstone. Geezer Gods #Strictly

October in England. I wore shorts to Aldi last Saturday but today, long sleeve T-shirt and a jumper 🍂

Dentist this morning, 2 minute look, x-ray then 5 mins trying to sell me private dentist add ons. £27.50

So they're at it again 🙄 Torturing valid HMRC data to create wildly misleading headlines, designed to invoke fear and anger about immigrants. Same old, same old... (and you'll see just how old shortly!) 🧵1/28

The News at the minute (and forever) is so f****** awful for women.

👏🏻

Andy Burnham confirms what previous PM's - May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak and Starmer - failed to, that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum.

When will he die. Like when 😠

The Reluctant Vampire is great family telly 🧛 Recommended #BBC1

Kemi Badenoch wants to exempt the family home from inheritance tax. But that creates a perverse incentive for elderly people to *upsize* to save IHT. That could double the cost of the policy, and push £100bn+ from savings into housing. A 🧵 on bad tax cuts.

🤣👏 @mrjohncrace.bsky.social

The speech's big policy announcement is an end to inheritance tax being levied on primary residences. It is greeted with whoops in the hall – but it's another tax cut focused on the wealthy, and in this case on London and the south-east.

Knowing how highly Kemi Badenoch prizes her lack of gaffes, she might wish to correct the softening effect of her chosen words: ‘We wanted him to be our mayoral candidate.’ Jeffrey Archer WAS the Tories’ mayoral candidate, endorsed by Margaret Thatcher and John Major, until his crimes were exposed.

I’m at a large shopping centre and I am a bit shocked at home many school age children are here. Losing count. How sad 😞

I do find this country mad. Anyone can see that social care is in a state of devastating crisis in this country and that it is the key source of the NHS crisis as well. There is no feasible way to solve it without everyone contributing. Burnham is honest about that and is already getting pelters.

🖤

I bloody hate Halloween and a big part of that is the sheer amount of plastic tat that has taken over the shops.

Just had to get petrol. How much! 😳😳😳

I can smell autumn this morning 🍂

Oh, we're still on the "significantly reformed EU" nonsense are we? Like the UK has the power to dictate terms as a returning hero or some such? Same EU as per the last 40 years at least. Be part of it or not. Full stop. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It's the ROYAL National Lifeboat Institution. Time for Charles, William and Kate to show some support.

1/23 Sorry, this will be long... There is a lot of shouting about what happened in the Channel yesterday. So I want to go back to basic law. Not immigration policies or political rhetoric. At sea, the starting point is simple: Preservation of life comes first under all maritime conventions.

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

After 3 days of pleasing everyone else have spent the day after Pilates, gardening, reading and listening to great music. Now having a glass of wine in the sunshine. Restored.

All 3 series of Colin from Accounts are absolutely gorgeous telly. Love Love Love.

NEW MRP JUST DROPPED: All but four constituencies in GB support UK membership of the EU. In those four, the most popular option was 'Don't Know' (Ashfield, Clacton, Great Yarmouth and Boston and Skegness).

Emma looks right but Claudia is irreplaceable IMO #Strictly

This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists. If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.

I do not remember the birdies being so frightening #TOTP

I can see the far right envelop the UK like an octopus a shell, with sociopaths like Musk as the head using its Tommeh-Tommos-Farage-Lowe tentacles to stress-test the shell for weakness like donations rules to exploit, probe cracks like Piddington to pry open. THOSE are the borders we must defend!
