I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.

So “Sorry I can’t come down to meet you, I’m dressed like a whore” is a thing I typed into the wrong chat today. Luckily in a place where it was likely to be well received nevertheless.

Feeld was an utter waste of time. Then I made the mistake of falling for a friend, which ended traumatically. So inevitably… * makes the notification sound * It’s actually way better than expected – I feel so empowered at last ☺️

#CarBrain entitlement is “I have to use the pavement as a parking space because where I would normally park is closed”. The exchange ended thusly: “But you’re not in a wheelchair” “No but I give a shit about society which is the difference between you and me”

Turns out lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services is really popular. This is just the beginning - people are seeing through the attacks and demanding something better. And we're making hope normal again - together. news.sky.com/story/greens...

obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)

This is what happens when unqualified people are allowed to fulfill something on an engineering checklist. Do we let ignorant people design and install car parking? No. So we have to stop doing it with bike parking. Speak up, make friction for your leaders that allow this ridiculousness.

Labour is briefing that they know they won't win the Gorton and Denton by election. The Greens are favourites and are the only party that can stop Reform. Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.

In the constituency, embittered labour campaigners have started their slow march into an "inevitable defeat." The wording comes from HQ themselves who are briefing journalists they don't expect to win m

One of the most memorable British Leyland brochure covers of the '70s was for its detailed full-range car line-up. The clever artwork turned the company's 'plughole' logo into something akin to Birmingham's 'spaghetti junction' motorway intersection, a showcase for various BL models. #weirdcarbs

Voyager is 31! "Much will be made of the political correctness of this new venture, not least in that the captain of this ship is a woman". A woman, captain of a ship 😱 Just a reminder that we've come a long way, and that the reactionary whiners of today are just the latest in a long line. 🖖

TELEVISION REVIEW

Now for a Politically Correct 'Star Trek'.

By JOHN O'CONNOR

"Sequence under way. Engage!" And the "Star Trek" franchise blasts off once again. Consider mere-ly this one statistic being bandled about by the producers: There are already more than 325 hours of "Star Trek" productions, including the original series (which began in 1966), the seven feature films and the television spinoffs, "Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993)."

And now, with the centerpiece of the new United Paramount Network, Trekkers can focus their notoriously intense scrutiny on "Star Trek: Voy-ager," the first of the series created after the death of the "Star Trek" creator, Gene Roddenberry. Much will be made of the political correct-ness of this new venture, not least in that the captain of this ship is a woman, but "Star Trek" has long been a multicultural champion of erasing prejudices of all sorts. This time it just goes a bit further. After all, it's the 24th century.

Capt. Kathryn Janeway, played with unmistakable authority by Kate Mulgrew, takes the U.S.S. Voyager to search for a ship belonging to the Maquis, Federation colonists unhap-py with a new treaty. The problem is that the captain's chief of security is an undercover agent on the missing ship.

But the Voyager, with 15 decks and "bioneural" circuitry, is soon swept up in a displacement wave that pushes the star ship 70,000 light years away on the other side of the galaxy. The Federationists and the Maquis are forced to work together for survival.

It's an ingenious concept, bringing the series back to its early days of anything-can-happen suspense. Cap-tain Janeway spells it out: "We're alone in an uncharted part of the galaxy. We have no idea of the dan-gers we'll have to face. Somewhere we'll find a way back."

Tonight's two-hour pilot is certain-ly a marvel of special effects. Com-paring early "Star Trek" with this is like comparing "The Great Train Robbery" with St…
