Born in Leeds, lives in Bradford. Interests include history, human rights, travel, cats. Owned by two 😻😻
This weirdo is sitting half on me, half off me, so I can’t get up and make tea. She’s not normally a lap cat so this is unusual so I don’t want to push her off!

Really good to hear Stella Creasy on @newsagents.bsky.social saying students should be removed from immigration figures. Of course they should! And they make up a huge chunk of the figures - around half. They’re part of the success story of global Britain - coming here to get a great education.

I didn’t sleep at all well last night, stressing about work, but every time I woke up, having a small warm Daisy-shaped bundle next to me was so comforting.
Where would I be without my creatures 🥰

“People are sick of them appeasing the far right" say the Public and Commercial Services Union.

"A fair and humane system, which is what we’re proposing, would boost growth and has to be better than whipping up hatred and division.”

Apparently sitting on me is preferable to the nice cosy blanket 🥰

I'm getting reports that a firm is cold calling people "offering grants for renewables and quoting that MARTIN LEWIS had encouraged people to engage with the company."

The call is UTTER BOLLOCKS! This is not true. Don't trust them. Politely disengage and don't speak to them.

Daisy got the top spot for a change and Elsa is making a formal complaint 😂

Whatever the BBC did in terms of editing fuckface’s speech, they didn’t *create* the impression incited insurrection, because he *did* incite insurrection. He did that, no amount of edits can make him worse than he actually is, so no harm no foul as far as I’m concerned.

Had such a tiring, stressful day 😩 but now I’m home, had beans on toast, a cup of tea, and my small friend is giving me a cuddle 🥰

I’ve honestly had the best day, assembling the new cat tree and watching the cats enjoy it, it’s so ridiculously incredibly pleasing 🤗

Just home from a day out with mum. Elsa has claimed me, Daisy is miffed.
