This is happening a lot to female journalists. So here is a modest proposal for the White House press corps: Stand together. No one should ask another question until the President answers the question that was ignored.

Can’t help thinking that it’s a real shame that the AV referendum didn’t go the other way.
If it had, Labour and the Greens might be fighting this by-election on policy and vision, rather than “who can beat Reform”.

As a resident of this constituency, let me say this: Labour’s entire hopes of hanging onto the seat depend on whether or not this proves to be true as the campaign progresses.

We never go out for Valentine’s Day (or really do anything), so I just assumed nobody else did either and turns out I’m… very wrong?!
Tried to get a table for a weekend away that happens to coincide with Valentine’s, and all the restaurants are booked up!
Got a 9pm table at the 4th place I tried 😯

But for now, good morning from not my cats:

Since I got married the algorithm has not stopped offering me pregnancy shit. It’s absolutely relentless, and was pretty much immediate — I’m being advertised fertility treatments, solo pregnancy retreats, folic acid supplements.
