Recently I lost 13 stone. Here's how! i) keep an eye on calories to ensure you have a calorie deficit between consumption and burning; ii) cleanse the system regularly with purges that flush the body; iii) drink plenty of water & eat fresh veg; iv) regular exercise; and v) consistency! Stick to it.

This shouldn't need saying but drivers should let the funeral procession pass in peace. We should just know not to do this. We really need to remember the social conventions of civility that make up society if this is where we are at. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The #LabourDeputyLeadership results - #LucyPowell wins, with 87,407 votes (55%). Bridget Phillipson secured 73,536 (45%). Rayner was one of the few who may have appealed to #Labour voters considering #Reform. Can Powell? Could any contender?! Nominations: labour.org.uk/deputy-leade...

#Tuitionfees in England are to increase by the rate of inflation from next year. Fees have been frozen for a decade or so (bar the recent tiny increase) - with the value of the £ going down, 9k today is worth 6k, & cuts to int. students leaves a significant funding shortfall that's harder to absorb.

Hope everyone has a well deserved relaxing weekend! The last few weeks have been early morning starts and late night finishes, so very much looking forward to a weekend of rest. This year has hit the road running, which hopefully will settle back rather than intensify! Rest well, all.

Simon Amstell has a new show - I love It Here. Playing only four times in London, there is a sense of exclusivity! Also, has to be asked... has he been in the gym?! The geeky style has transformed into a different type of geek(!) www.iloveithereshow.com

This is making Change UK look well organised and delivered! There are serious issues outlined below which make this a bit... toxic.

An evidence-based article on the interstellar comet that entered our solar system recently. It led to speculation of it being aliens because of the speed of the object, which is very high. But in reality it's a comet which picked up speed over billions of year. Read: arxiv.org/abs/2508.02934

An interesting and extensive interview with Simon Amstell on a wide range of topics, including therapy, chocolate cake, sex, acceptance, enjoyment, & connecting perspectives with audiences (as well as interpreting and adopting counter-positions). Well worth a watch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibuJ...

My #summer leave ends in a few days, which I've spent relaxing, reading, exercise, and the occasional check of emails! Oh and catching up with a few good films, too. The #Holdovers is a good film, whilst Catch Me If You Can is fun! #ViennaBlood is a hugely underrated TV drama, along with #Avenue5.
