I think we're one or two bad polls away from someone in the government promising to deport any immigrants who won't get rid of their accent.

Someone really needs to take Starmer aside and have a quiet word about not being so bloody stupid.

We did it! Macmillan Walk To a Support 10k Bham.
The winklets did good; finished by 2hrs! The rain just came in at the last 800m.
So proud of them.
This one’s for Nanny Pat, close friends & my lovely patients over the past 20 years

If you take one thing from World Suicide Prevention Day today it should be this: if you think someone isn’t OK, ask them about it. You can interrupt someone’s suicidal thoughts. You could even save their life.

Let’s prevent suicide today. Because tomorrow’s too late.
