It's just brilliant, see it!
It's 5⭐️from The Guardian for Girls & Boys 👏 'Punchlines are delivered with the aplomb of a Palladium standup...(Loftus) is so winning & relatable that it’s only later you clutch at your stomach and notice you have been silently, surgically eviscerated.'

From today, women effectively work for free until the rest of the year due to the gender pay gap.

It’s two days earlier than last year because the gap has grown for the first time since 2013.

We must end the undervaluation of women’s work for good.
