The party did suspend her, though she remained on the ballot, they’re just shy of overall control of the council so they will need all the numbers they can get

Winter Olympics commentators have a very different frame of reference to me. One just said a figure skater ‘redeemed herself in Sheffield.’ Why? Is she also a snooker player?

But I still naively expect bar staff to clock when I’m next, meaning the person who just starts ordering gets in
000
Jack Sommers @jacksommers.bsky.social · 31/01/2026
Some bar staff do but many don’t and the rise of them simply asking ‘who’s next?’ to determine the order, rather keeping an eye on it, is definitely a thing
100
Jack Sommers @jacksommers.bsky.social · 31/01/2026
Is it? Many people don’t care about the order anyone goes in and will respond to a bar staff’s ’who’s next?’ by assertively placing their order, by which point the person they pushed in front of just lets it go. I totally see the temptation to do this instead

On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day. As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time. At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.
To everyone in Britain's Jewish Community: you are not alone.

We will not let hate or those who spread it win.

We stand with you.
