Women were treated appallingly by institutions across the Western World until relatively recently.
This is a powerful story of one woman.

For 16 months, a tax-exile-oligarch-owned, mostly right-wing press, has abused the privilege of these exclusive private sessions, to misrepresent the gov't on every issue. This is the FO stage.

A mini-story to cheer you up this morning. The other day my teenage son returned to his locked bike to find the back wheel nicked. We went back yesterday to rescue it - and found this note taped to the frame. We have the wheel again. A very happy Xmas to Ollie and his note-writing other half.

Spinach. 3 kilos cooked down = 3 tablespoons.
Red cabbage. A mere quarter will feed 12 people for a fortnight.
Potatoes. 5 kilos roasted won’t be enough for 4.
