Wish I was with you @MsJinks, I will be in spirit. Keep safe.

Have a great day @MsJinks and take care.

How ironic that on today of all days someone has started this thread: "Would you say non-white people born & raised in England are English?".

All the best @MsJinks , I admire you for it. Keef safe

Have a good march @MsJinks and may fair weather be with you.

Thanks so much DH has gone through his treatment. He’s retiring soon and hopefully a new happy chapter will ensue.

Hope it all goes well today, @MsJinks.

So pleased @derxa. Just to let you all know Mr B joined the liver transplant list yesterday.

So glad x

I’m very pleased for both of you.

I wondered whether to or not, but decided to post there to explain what it’s like feeling “other”

That's fabulous news.

My everything is crossed for you uboth.

All the best for you both @BIossomtoes

Glad you DH is OK now @derxa

@BIossomtoes I also have everything crossed for you both.

Wishing both you and @derxa and your husbands all the best.

We may be over cautious but from experience these kind of treads started by a brand new username have an agenda.

Just be careful because they often turn nasty.

@BIossomtoes thinking of you and your DH on this step of your journey

@BIossomtoes hoping he will soon get treatment and so pleased that it is possible 💐

Will be keeping everything crossed for him.

Sending best wishes to @derxa and @blossomtoes

Good luck to @msjinks on the march today

That 'other' thread was not started in good faith and I hope it gets pulled.

Good news @derxa
Everything crossed for your DH @BIossomtoes

I’m getting a real feeling that Burnham will struggle in the by election. What a mess. They should all have held their nerve for another year or 18 months and in the meantime taken some action against the press and against social media.

The BBC does keep comparing it to the local elections - but they are different boundaries - Burnham polled hugely there is the mayoral elections (well ahead of Hannah Spencer!). When they went out in the streets including to a proper working men's pub, they only found one fella shouting about Reform. The rest seemed to like Burnham.

Maybe I’m basing it on the fact that if I were in that constituency and had voted for Simons and then he stood down at vast expense to allow a man I don’t have a lot of time for (and who has had 2 chances at Labour leadership already) to advance his personal career ambitions while destabilising government at a dangerous time and giving the right wing real ‘we need a GE’ ammunition (nobody voted for a labour MP in a party led by Burnham), plus feeling he shouldn’t change the manifesto massively anyway because there’s no mandate for that (so what’s the point?) then I wouldn’t be voting Labour this time.
