Haven't asked for a while but given *all this* thought it was time to revive the check in.

Hadn’t seen UK news today but just loaded my podcast feed.
Disappointing to see that a woman who is under tremendous stress, demonstrates a normal human emotion and it gets turned into this. If a male chancellor turned his stress into anger this wouldn’t happen.

Sorry to hear the weather is miserable in the UK.
