If I had to put money on a human to come through for the good of us all, I'd put it on Karen Carney. What a woman. And if I had to put money on a #Strictly Pro for making sure we saw his partner, I'd put it on Carlos. What a choreographer. I delight in them both.

Nooo! How extremely disappointing.

Really could have done without the bitter pill of La Voix not dancing in Blackpool. I was invested in her making it, and she was made for it.

I hope so. That M. Ms has been getting right up my nose for a long time now.

Was just thinking the couple who goes out just before Blackpool should get a little cameo in the show. Just so they still get to go and step on the dance floor. Just so we don't have to weep at home for the ones who don't quite make it, & to comfort their broken hearts a little.

I'm OK with paying a licence fee for BBC, but really not OK with paying Trump. Over the years, we've seen so much waste of tax payers' money, but somehow this has symbolism way beyond the waste of the past. If he gets a single penny out of this, all hope is lost. I want a court case, not a pay-off.

It seems to me the more I despair, the worse they get. Every time I look for a shred of hope, or think maybe tomorrow they'll come good, instead they punch more holes into everything I thought they stood for. Cowards all (and they didn't even have to be all that brave).

Whenever I hear him speak, my mind's eye sees this:

Quite the knack for bringing history to life as well, in beautifully expressed nuggets. I've long been a fan.

Yes, so well said & well informed. Was thinking the other day that all Farage ever talks about is leaving one thing or another; so easy & cheap, that, just looking for things to leave. Wish he'd just leave, but he's always there, isn't he, whining & moaning, & strutting around getting richer.

Yes, I think about that too. I don't want to be the 'greatest country in the world'; I want to be a great country in a world of other great countries. And we could have done so much better, couldn't we, than we have done. It's almost as if we've been completely misled for centuries.

I'm just a no-one on a small island & I'm exhausted by him. I wish we could just turn him off, for a while at least, & have a break from the noise & wreckage. If he were a no-one & I knew him, I'd have to tell him to just shut up because he's just so unutterably boring & tiring.

Another thing I like about #CelebrityTraitors is that as someone who knows nothing about Rugby, I could have spent my whole life not knowing how awesome Joe M is but now I do.

When I first heard the story, I only heard the bit about someone important not submitting a form, & I thought, 'Ah, that'll be someone from Labour'. I didn't think that believing it's only people from Labour who don't submit forms; more forms are only important when they're Labour forms.

One day, I'd like to wake up, switch on the radio, and hear people talking about things I really care about.

If you're outside Britain, I'd like to add that even as a British person I need their perspective, humour and erudition. They're my 'go to'.

That Goodwin seems like a very cross and unhappy person to me, unable to construct a good argument with evidence so just shouts. I wonder what first attracted him to Reform.
