Masterchef Oz: When I lived in Vietnam, there were very places Westerners could eat without risking death. Now there are Michelin starred restaurants there !!!!!!!!!! What a difference 35 years makes.

Lots in the news abt cancer. I self referred for a mammogram when I found a lump in my left breast. Obviously I was terrified but the NHS saved my life when the lump proved to be cancerous. Take control if you can when there is something that worries you.

A young Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross on the set of The Legacy (1978) — the film where they met and fell in love. They’re still together 48yrs on.

Sensational. Can’t believe it dropped just after I filed a column about her epic ridiculousness, though.
Kemi Badenoch describes herself as captain, coach and owner of the Conservatives.

I get why all the political parties focus on the NEETS. But no-one pays any attention to the older people (like me) who want to work but are totally ignored by the employment market. There must be millions of us.

Badenoch is obviously a useless politician. But her self belief should be bottled. She clearly thinks she is a genius despite all the evidence to the contrary.

All the tributes to Jeffrey Archer make me feel sick. He was an serial liar, a criminal, and a thoroughly unpleasant piece of work. A typical Tory.......

To be clear, we're going straight back to Brexit chaos if the Conservatives or Reform are in power, and that is because of their commitment to withdraw from the ECHR, which would almost certainly mean parts of the TCA suspended and huge US diplomatic pressure. www.ft.com/content/f923...

We have just had a visit from the landlord's Canadian family, including 2 small children (4 & 2). it is fair to say that Lucy wasn't happy - he kept running away ! The 4 yr old loves cats so was very disappointed that Lucy wasn't up for playing with her.

"I'm not a defence expert." Even by Kemi Badenoch's lamentable standards, this is agonising. Just give thanks she will never, ever be Prime Minister. 🙏 #politicslive

Just the dumbest collection of halfwit confetti emerging out of that conference. Tax cuts everywhere, paid for with imaginary spending cuts. Huge spending projects with precisely zero utility, except to anchor their 'defence day' narrative. Clowns.

The Tories - a party who have nothing to offer except tax cuts. They can't even read the mood of the country - the public are sick of a lack of services. A clown car full of half wits and weirdos.

If she's a "classic, old school Conservative", something tells me she wouldn't have made it very fucking far in the classic, old school conservative party.
If you desire a Coloured for your neighbour, Vote Labour. If you're already burdened (sic) with one, vote Tory.

The conservatives once in office will bring up to date the Ministry of Repatriation to speed up the return of home-going and expelled immigrants

If your politics is based on 'ideological purity', you are engaging in the politics of the primary school play ground. Life is not black and white. Grow up.

The exceptional Caroline Lucas worked tirelessly and w/ principles to makes the Greens a serious party. It is being thrown away by a populist leader and the entryists who learned nothing from the mess Labour got into under Corbyn. I am not a Green voter nor Jewish but I am genuinely furious.

The "zionism is racism" motion that has just passed on the Green Party's conference floor is truly gross, and deeply racist. The party's MPs deserve some credit for opposing it, though they should've done so more stridently and sooner. This is now a millstone around the party's necks. Deservedly.
