Hmmm 🤔 Think you’re forgetting Tracy Brabin @manchestermill.bsky.social. And Claire Ward. And Kim McGuinness. And Andrea Jenkyns. And Helen Godwin…
This was Playbook on Friday. The Guardian North of England team actually reported it on July 3rd. There is also a media outside of Westminster!
The Scotland cocktail is alcohol free. Someone is having a laugh.
My husband: “I think this has been a better summer than last year, if I’m honest.” We got married last summer.
I don’t wanna say this is a bad omen but I put a wash on overnight and the washing machine ate my England shirt 😩😩😩
What a weird thing that would be to make up! Have you ever had an experience of an election campaign? Generally people knock on doors and talk to voters, particularly in tight contests. I can tell you all about it. Hard as it may be to believe, I had Labour too! But here’s the Greens.
Most reliable poll so far puts Labour in the lead, with Reform a distant third. (Yes, we should have tidied up first, I’ve been busy okay.)
When you’re in an uber to some random afters, but it’s going in the opposite direction to home and it’s already getting light out.
As a resident of this constituency, let me say this: Labour’s entire hopes of hanging onto the seat depend on whether or not this proves to be true as the campaign progresses.
This at Manchester cathedral is very nice — collecting socks for homeless people in continuity of a hundreds years old tradition. Runs until January 21st.
Taken at 3.30am. That’s me they’re sleeping on top of. I have no complaints.
He’s completely given up, I think! He objected way more to Joanne and Susan’s arrival than he did to Pippa and seven kittens. He just lies on his chair and ignores them all.
Thank you! We’re now down an only-slightly-unhinged four… for now, at least. Pippa is such a beautiful angel we just couldn’t bear to part with her.
It was me and I had one today but I’m not sure I’m ready to bring it back!
If only twitter threads were still a thing because I have quite the story to tell about how my destiny of being a cat rescuer is literally being forced upon me. I currently have seven (7) cats in my house. I’ll tell it one day. Maybe I’ll write it. But for now, good morning from not my cats:
Thank you!! Xx (Obviously the real love of my life was represented too.)
Any Hannahs out there marrying a Michael?! I’m looking to find this a new home!
Can confirm this was an absolute bargain — and it had a resident cat! Would 1000% book last minute again.
