For the love of God when is January going to end, surely it’s been 3 months already

What a weird cartoon for The Times - obviously designed to be alarming with vague nonsensical implication, it’ll certainly appeal to the people shouting at vapour trails in the sky

Why is the discredited CBI always R4 Today’s go to on business and employment? Their Victorian attitudes like poor business owners not being able to afford to pay a living wage always represent the Tory party more than business owners like me and those I know

Not a single Reform MP has bothered to turn up to today's House of Commons debate on tackling violence against women and girls

Susie Dent must be one of the UKs most reliable employees - has she missed an episode in the last 30 years.

Twitter more of a binfire than usual tonight with the standard theme of the most ignorant of a situation shouting the loudest - the current US political model of giving the hate-filled the environment to be openly hateful seems to be gaining traction here

Thank you for all the work you do for the most vulnerable women and children in our society. Empty vessels make the most noise.

Saw some of Willard Wigan’s microscopic sculptures - literally you have to view through microscopes - at Wollaton Hall in Nottingham yesterday. He uses eyelashes as tweezers!

Popping open a tub of Roses is a depressing experience now - I want to pop the lid off a beautiful tin and see those individually foil-wrapped gems

R4 saying the start of the Labour gov “has been turbulent to say the least” - has it? I remember turbulent from not very long ago and it felt very different to now

Not Channel Island Jersey 🇯🇪 then where adding “with all due respect” would be sufficient to let the other person know how offensive you were being

The only feature I’m missing is the UK trends - I’d have liked to have seen “women of a certain age” at the top

I’ve been the young woman in older male dominated workplaces having to put up with the “bants” making me feel v uncomfortable having to create a caricature of me to protect me and my career

I managed 60+ blokes (often ex-miners) in bookies in small Welsh villages 20 years ago who knew not to behave like that in the workplace - not possible for a Londoner whose worked for the BBC for decades to be unaware - he’ll have known and enjoyed making women uncomfortable

Gregg Wallace taking crisis management classes from Prince Andrew?! His misogyny really shining through - as it did in his cringey “day in the life” - he really doesn’t need to keep showing us who he is

Some people are a bit giddy that they’ve learned the phrase “echo chamber” - every social group is an echo chamber

Yes and Trump’s boasts about sexual assault were just “locker room talk”. Minimising sexualised, discomfiting “bants” and behaviour enables it and creates the environment where it escalates - and where sex offenders start believing they’re the victims

At least the sun is shining today - the mist was properly rolling in last week and it’s more poetic sung about than stood in

I think anyone in any leadership role quickly realises that the higher up you go the less control you have - presumably why dictators turn to more and more extreme methods

Despite being a big crime fiction fan and nostalgic about years lived in Edinburgh for some unknown reason I’m only now reading Rebus. On no. 4 and what a treat to know there are a lot more to come

Occasionally it’s a shame real life isn’t more like social media - the car next to me posts this and I just want to leave a friend request on the windscreen

No one is ever surprised by the men these allegations come out about - they always have a history of creepy/discomfiting behaviour so why is this still apparently so hard to prevent

We are rightly concerned about social media harming children and young people but need to be talking a lot more about the impact of disinformation on those that didn’t grow up online who seem to fall harder into manufactured outrage and falsehood and the damage it has done to public discourse

Conservatives who foisted their latest awful party leaders on us as PM calling for the resignation of a PM who just won a general election with a huge majority, show their contempt for the “will of the people” that they like to claim they’re so keen on

Local Authorities commission 80% of care with no independent oversight and as the monopoly customer they keep prices artificially low. Average home care profit margins 3-4% with providers regularly failing particularly in areas with most LA funded care - from UKHCA annual state of care report

A visit to the City Ground museum earlier revealed this absolute beauty awarded for winning the 1898 FA Cup (against Derby too) - bring back the FA Cup Teapot I say, far more practical than an oversized trophy! #nffc

Peeked out the curtains and I’m not going out in that. Starting Orbital instead - being sandwiched between the duvet and orbiting the Earth seems a better place to be this morning

Haven’t managed to break the terrible habit of scrolling at bedtime but at least I’m going to sleep on images of spectacular nature, space, book recommendations and NFFC optimism rather than a cacophony of hate with a liberal sprinkle of temu ads! Sweet dreams Blueskyers
