I’ve just read #WesStreeting‘s resignation letter, and realise what a distinctive choice of words Peter Mandelson has.

Five chapters into The Cut Throat Trial Absolutely gripping! Author Q: I’m on the kindle version which took me straight into the body of the novel. Looking at the table of contents, this is preceded by Exhibits and Witness Statements. Which order to read?

And this morning the Shed is a great stone bridge, on which house and castles and towers cling like barnacles on a sunken ship...

In the 80s and 90s, almost every job applicant I interviewed was an able bodied white male. In later years, I started to encounter some amazing, talented candidates who were female, non-white and disabled. Many became highly effective colleagues. DEI works for us all.

To be fair Trish, quite a few Uber drivers are already qualified GPs.

My new jam is listening to @thenewsagents.com at 0.75x speed, which makes @lewisgoodall.com , @maitlis.bsky.social and @jonsopel1.bsky.social sound, well, deliciously squiffy. Obviously, at normal speed it’s only the boy Goodall who sounds like he’s just fallen out of a ‘spoons 😉

Still can’t feel a vibe about Threads in the way I can here. Feels like an adolescent that’s still trying out different personas to project. Love the feel here and deck.blue takes me back to Tweetdeck 10+ years ago.

@amandaabbington.bsky.social My wife and I were so blessed to be in the audience for last week’s strictly and to see the sincerity, skill and passion of your dance. Sending you nothing but love. It’s all you need, and you’re awash with it. Bon courage!

Anyone else too hot to be outside, but guilt-tripping (with your mother’s voice in your head) that “it’s much to nice to be indoors”? Maybe a British thing.

Still getting to grips with this place, but desperate to find an alternative to the bird site. There’s still gold there, but increasingly crammed into the shrinking spaces between antisemitism, maga-bots and adverts for snake oil, crypto scams and betting.

All these new etiquettes to subvert! Delicious! #YouCantStopHashtags #YoureNotMyMum
