Ludicrous of @TrevorPTweets to suggest Louise Haigh should resign as MP over a 10yr old SPENT conviction !

I’m not a great cook so this recipe by @nigellalawson.bsky.social appealed to me because of its simplicity. Never again will I serve roast chicken that’s too dry ! A delicious dinner was had by all so thank you, Nigella 😃

Slow Roasted Garlic and Lemon Chicken
This is one of those recipes you just can't make once: that's to say, after the first time, you're hooked. It is gloriously easy: you just put everything in the roasting dish and leave it to cook in t...

Ofgem’s energy cap rise will doubtless be a worry for people on low incomes so I urge them to check eligibility & apply for any benefits to which they may be entitled. It costs nothing to apply but may make a huge difference!

Ofgem’s energy cap rise will doubtless be a worry for pensioners who may no longer automatically qualify for the winter fuel payment so I urge them and all who care for them, to check eligibility for Pension Credit & apply for any benefits to which they may be entitled.

Pension Credit is extra money for pensioners to bring your weekly income up to a minimum amount - what you'll get, apply, eligibility.

Caught last 10mins of Newsnight and Adam Fleming’s almost desperate plea for his guests (Nino Ali, James Schneider & Craig Oliver - hardly an unbiased panel) to predict “something that will go boom” to make things difficult for the Labour government !

Subtitles. There are some programmes I find almost unwatchable without subtitles, most recently the excellent mini series Emergency, on C4.
The sound overlays were so loud that I couldn’t hear what was being said by the masked NHS staff.

A small story for you, Bluesky, in my occasional series of Things that Happen in London.

So my daughter (just turned 17) and two friends were on a late train the other night. Also present: an exceedingly drunk lady returning from Taylor Swift, snoozing in the opposite seat. /1

As the wife of a biker and (pre-disability) frequent pillion passenger, this news of 5 biker deaths in 2 separate incidents on the same day on the same stretch of road, chills my blood. No mention of this catastrophe on the BBC News page however.
