The dusting of snow arrived or as Margery calls it a half-dusting. She's never satisfised with the Met Office. She used to complain to God but then she lost her faith. The Met Office is as close as she gets to Godliness these days, that and ignoring Irene the vicar. #NewAlanBennetts

However my fellow MPs vote on Friday, I hope they watch this brilliant film by Liz Carr. Even if it doesn't change how we vote this week, it will increase understanding of the discrimination faced by disabled people that is behind the fear many have of this bill. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Had a handful of homophobic/transphobic messages here today because I’ve created a Starter Pack supporting LGBTQIA+ writers.

Please follow and share this pack to help keep Bluesky the positive place it promises to be.
