Why do people pay a fiver for a cuppa? Maybe now they're part of sugar tax, they'll look for alternatives and if cafés want to stay open, they'll offer substitutes. The downside could be a large pub chain and a supermarket café won't be able to offer free refills.

Having been mistakenly included on an electoral roll, Manchester shopkeeper Lily Maxwell voted in a by-election on this day 1867, more than 50 years before (some) women were enfranchised by the Representation of the People Act. Suffragists seized on it as a test case.

I can’t believe I have to say this but calling a very attractive woman reporter “piggy“ because you don’t like her question is demeaning not “frank”, Karoline.

Way to go, La Voix and Aljaz, the new Fred and Ginger - you got my #Strictly vote. Along with Lewis and Katya, JoJo and Alex, Amber and Nikita, Karen and Carlos. You have to be in the final and the new hostess with the modest🤣.

One more for the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #StandingOnThings just under the wire. This crow landed on the hood of my car and gave me stink eye through the windshield for 6 minutes straight while I munched on an Egg McMuffin in a McD's parking lot. Too judgy.
