The tweet, sharing without comment. For now at least!

As I suspected. Iain Anderson's move was totally strategic.

Will there be cake?

@RebelliousCow

Wes Streeting can be trusted to look after his own interests & nothing else. Oh & to keep on top of Drag Race, apparently 🤷‍♀️

He’s been aiming for Parliament since [before] he started Uni; & having been elected, will do anything to stay there. Hence his twisty-turny snakey (apologies to the Squamata) behaviour over the NHS 🤨 “Oh, no no, you all just thought you heard me say I’m planning to privatise the NHS - I’d totally defend it to the death!” 🙄

Yeah wes really needs to explain his involvement in Lily Madigans witch hunt (whatever happened to Madigan?)

I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him, he is a weathervane politician

Most definitely. Every sort in every flavour. Even lemon drizzle cake which in my opinion should not actually exist!

Now this illustrates what a broad church the FWR board is.

Frequent disagreements about sweetmeats snd baked goods, where beliefs are deeply held but the dialogue is, by and large, respectful.

Lemon drizzle cake is delicious. Mind you, put me in a French patisserie and watch me go. Just not too much cream, please.

"I leave this job as the anti-gender / anti-rights movement is running rampant around the globe, and the transphobic moral panic created here in the UK is being exported everywhere. The time for us all to stand up is *long past. We need your help"

Translation: "Fuck. Time to jump ship. I might not be on the right side of history after all ...!!!!"

Lemon drizzle cake is on my list of 'Things Wot Will Be Outlawed' when I seize power.

<starts printing postcards with Lemon Drizzle Cake Rights Are Human Rights on them>

Lemon drizzle cake is the 24th most popular cake in the UK, apparently.

Battenberg, or Mr Blobby Cake as my daughter always calls it, is at no. 23.

4th most popular is red velvet cake, I have no idea why. It's only good for serving at Halloween parties. If you have them, which I don't.

I'm okay with lemon drizzle. Red velvet looks stunning by tastes meh. Carrot cake is an abomination.

Yes @SabrinaThwaite that's exactly what I thought. No pre-announcements along the lines of 'stepping back' or sending a deputy to events etc. Very sudden.

I wonder if the decisions confirming the legitimacy of the LGBA and awarding £20k for Allison Bailey's costs have led to questions being asked by members of Stonewall's Board?

Please explain "too much cream"?

TRA HERE

You bloody GC women, you are so bloody rude!
When I try to berate you, you just start to talk of food.

When I throw a strop because you say lesbians don’t do dick
You start to talk of Tunnocks and which product you would pick.

When I try repeatedly to tell you that those men are actually shes
You just start to witter on about different types of cheese.

When I try to explain that women’s stuff is ours to take
You start to debate the merits of different types of cake.

I just don’t understand why you start to talk of food
Every time I try to tell you that woman’s not a dude.

If someone could explain red velvet cake to me I'd be grateful. It's red. It's cake. What's the big deal?

All cakes are equal. But some are more equal than others.

Phones police to report @Froodwithatowel for a hate crime against non lemon drizzle cake believers.

And when I am the prime ruler of the galaxy @WickedSerious will be responsible for ensuring lemon drizzle cake is wiped from existence.

Also what is the deal with red velvet cake? What is it actually meant to taste like and what's it's consistency supposed to be? Because in photos it's looks really moist and like it would taste like a slice of pure pleasure but any I've ever had has been dry and tastes of nothing much. Which seems like such a waste of calories!

Please explain "too much cream"?

I believe it's the mythical cousin of the equally mythical "Leftover Wine." Honestly, some people will believe anything.

neither of those court decisions will have given her or the trustees much confidence that she was doing good things for the charity.

There will be something behind this. No one just ups and leaves a £100K a year job with no successor to take over for no reason whatsoever.

I can't wait to find out when the details finally make their way into the public arena.

I'm on the fence about the wine one as I don't drink so I'm unsure as to the possibility that a wine drinker could find themselves with leftover wine or not.

But too much cream is surely impossible?

Prize-winning composition by the Beetle, there.

Is anyone familiar with the concept of the eisteddfod? You're in line for a chair or a crown, Beetle.

@Chersfrozenface I'll take the chair. It's much more practical than a crown, unless you mean the tooth sort in which case I'll take the crown.

Keith Floyd once said "There are many recipes for apple pie,most of them best forgotten".

I feel the same about red velvet cake.

Love the poem, @Boiledbeetle !

On the cake front, I hope there will be fruit cake. I mean, there's plenty of it about these days in the metaphorical sense, but actual proper fruit cake.

Or fairy cakes. None of yer cupcake nonsense with a foot of sickly frosting, we want hundred and thousands and proper icing.
