My cleaner is like Lucy, my house is the football and I am a miserable Charlie Brown. This is the 3rd time this week she has told me she is coming at 8 am to clean my house and then has messaged -always after I have got up early and am sat waiting her arrival -to tell me she’s not coming after all.

On my way to work and saw a dad carrying his son - about 2 and a half, I’d say - and they were both in mild hysterics, just really laughing hard together and it has cheered up my whole day.

Reasons to resign:
Tories: doubling the cost of mortgages; throwing birthday parties while people are separated from their dying relatives for reasons you imposed
Labour: holding press conference & not saying thing that previously you had later said was not untrue but which the OBR didn't also say

So I told DPD Local they could leave my parcel in my enclosed porch (in my gated block of flats) - instead they chose to leave it on the street in front of a different house on a different street. Unsurprisingly it got stolen. They are very much a shower!

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Trump defends Saudi crown prince over Khashoggi killing
The de facto Saudi ruler was branded a pariah in 2018 after the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Now, U.S.-Saudi relations are approaching a high point.

Oh - yeah sorry

The milkshake machine’s not working.

The only flavours we can do are vanilla, banana, and Labour Leader Pretending to be Nigel Farage.

Is that a new flavour?
EMPLOYEE:
Yeah

Can someone ask the government minister why giving people a legal route to enter the country to claim asylum would not serve as a disincentive to getting on a dangerous boat? Why do we think refugees care about their children less than us, ffs? #r4Today

We should stop the boats because it's dangerous, and we should stop the scapegoating of immigrants because it's wrong and cruel.
