Or it could be my own prejudice brought on by seeing it when I was in a heightened emotional state! Anyway, no changing it now. She’s good with the media.

I haven't paid cat tax in some time... And this may be an old one!

He did WHAT?

I've also been getting 400 bad requests over the past few days- I'm clearing cookies a lot.

Wes Street in my opinion would make a bloody awful PM in my opinion. These Labour MPs need to start acting like the responsible adults we expected them to be. Playing at party politics when trying to run the country is ridiculous.

At the moment we appear to have a choice of facists (reform),thriving bastards(conservatives) or squabbling children (Labour). None of them are appealing options.

Starmer needs to get his house in order.

My tax from Belsen is attached (it's not cuddly today).

I was getting the 400 thing. Cleared the cache specifically for MN. That worked.

Very sobering picture.

I had to clear the whole bloody lot because I didn’t get an option to do it specifically for MN. Very annoying.

Zubir Ahmed, health minister and another close ally of Wes Streeting, quits calling for Keir Starmer to step aside.

So, that is four gone.

Wow

Tax time again already? It comes round so fast.

So sorry to hear your news @countrygirl99, such a magnificent creature should live for ever.

Mahmood says she isn't going to resign, any other updates?

As I currently have a cat shortage here is cat tax of my son’s cat in a box, with an expression that is probably similar to most of us contemplating this ridiculous unnecessary Labour drama.

Very moving - sadly may be very appropriate too. I went to Auschwitz in November - the absolute vastness of it got me.

On board with your comments re parties - can’t believe they’re being so stupid in Labour right now - falling into MSM stuff and ego too I guess. Very disappointing.

Yy littledrummer this bloody behaviour helps no one apart from reform & bleating Badenoch fed up with all of them also Yy wouldn’t be surprised if Streeting & Jess Phillips were ousted at the next election.

Very sobering photograph, such cruelty & wickedness beyond comprehension.

DD who has Ehlers Danlos syndrome (probably inherited from me though I’m not diagnosed) sent me a proforma for a letter to email Senedd members. You put in your postcode and it automatically worker generates a list of emails of the 6 Senedd members in your area. Guess which ones don’t have email addresses yet?
I know it’s early days but if Plaid and Labour can get organised already.
And hers is the Party leader in Wales.

Rhun ap Iorwerth to due be sworn in as Wales' new first minister, a bit a delayed

Best that’s tough on your dd can be so debilitating my dd has lupus similar in some ways, shows what a bunch of amateurs they are probably to busy being hateful it makes me angry just looking at them I now have a real aversion to turquoise.

That's the one we'd all like to see go!

An amazing peony from my Anniversary flowers!

The trouble is it all distracts from the Business of Govt doesn’t it!
We still don’t have the DIP & lots of other stuff Govt Departments are waiting for!
I’ve been WFH & listening to LBC in between meetings, lots of people phoning in saying the last thing we need is another Prime Minister!
One very cross lady on Tom Swarbrick! She was very funny!

😂 Sam Coates makes an ABSOLUTE TIT of himself. Calls PM photos "fake news" then finds out they're from the Press Association.

If you make a spurious, inflammatory point you never made about any official photograph before, to pitch yourself as the only reliable source, at a minimum check your facts.

So is that it, at least for now? Streeting has failed. No-one is rushing to offer Burnham their seat.

Wonder how the four who resigned are feeling?
