And si it starts.

I don't click on you tube links, not even in the replies to the guardian quick.

4a: this clue.

I also like Ed Miliband. Much more so than David who goes in my Wes Streeting and Tony Blair v2 column.

She ain't lettin' up

In a statement on Instagram, Meloni said Trump's "constant, unprovoked attacks" were "senseless".
"As for my popularity, being your friend has certainly not helped it, nor does it depend on my relationship with you," said Meloni.
"My popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours," she added.

Be careful who you sit next to. Is my advice.

Very scary.

I'm off out to Bingo tonight. It's just for a local group and a social event. Duck and dive.

I await the riots - sorry, protests against violence - which must be imminent.

It has been updated to 'Five injured in suspected anti-Muslim attacks' since I first posted it.

And the multiple threads on Mumsnet 🤔

A thread has been started in the News section

Bloody hell.
Some of the comments on fb under that news report 😲

Keep it light ...

🤣

And as duncin notes on the Edinburgh thread this would be cause for a genuine observation that this is being glossed over by news outlets.

That's what I was thinking. Still waiting to hear Farage express his 'cold rage' about this and for Tommy Ten-Names to turn up with his bunch of cronies. But no, not a peep.

Observer reporting that Starmer is expected to resign on Monday. Sad but inevitable.

And their evidence for this is...?

"Expected" is doing the heavy lifting here.

Will certain posters think we're disloyal fangirls if/when another name appears on our thread titles? 🤔

Hmm.
He might. I wouldn't blame him tbh.

I really hope he doesn't .

Can't remember, did this start with Cameron or May. I do rember the Johnson years, the Truss days and the Sunak dregs. What fun they were.

I am going to wear my "Sparkle with Starmer" tshirt on Monday and put candles around my shrine to the great man. (or my Shriner -as I like to call it).

Fan girl? Moi?

It's a great article that is sympathetic to Starmer and his excellent achievements, primarily getting Labour into power - Burnham wouldn't be in the position he is now without that legacy.

Streeting should stay on the back benches and let the smooth transition take it's natural course. Deals 'my arse', as Jim Royale would say.
