In the mid-90s I set fire to myself. My sister and her husband arrived for dinner from the Isle of Wight. I turned up the gas on the stove and threw the pasta into the boiling water.

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.
At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

Our Father Who art in heaven,
Donald be thy Name.
Thy madness come,
Thy Will be done,
In Iran & not in heaven.
Give us this day your daily dread.
And forgive us our trespasses
As you trespass against us.
And lead us not into Epstein,
But deliver us lots of evil.
Amen.🙏🏻
Love Graeme the TV dog whisperer. I know they show you how he does it, but I still don't know how he does it.

As the @covidinquiryuk Test, Trace, and Isolate Module comes to a close today, here is a look at some of the shocking evidence we have heard so far.

Feels like Keir and co think the political capital is in alluding to cautious, grown up, backroom diplomacy and not big, bold leadership in a time of (trade and other) war. I fear the reverse is true, and an opportunity to shine, and rally the country, is being squandered.

This is a great read from @chrischirp - with one of the best, and most depressing, Venn diagrams I've ever seen!!

Only a couple days left to book for the first of my workshop series for mutual aid!
A small-scale, long-form workshop with me is a pretty rare sight so grab while you can! This is your chance to pitch your ideas to me and get feedback...

The Crown Prosecution Service does indeed have to give approval for police to charge suspects in serious crimes.
But where is the evidence that when Keir Starmer was Director of Public Prosecutions the CPS wrongly refused such consents in rape and child grooming cases? There is none.
On the contrary Starmer was pro-active in focussing on this type of crime as @nazirafzal has correctly highlighted. There may well have been failures to address this issue elsewhere through reporting and investigation but that is not the role of the CPS.
Baseless innuendo does not contribute to serous debate.
Had a 9am zoom this morning and my eyes were wet from the @MishalHusain farewell on #bbcR4Today.
Ironically enough, it was only yesterday morning that someone who knows someone close enough to know was telling me how impressive and hard working a Transport Secretary Louise Haigh was proving to be.

THE DOG
The male dog is in the enviable position of never having to worry about sexual failure or impotency. His penis is composed of tissue, as is normal among all mammals including man, but also found in the dog penis is a bone which aids in the stiffening of an erection. What better sex aid could any male ask for? Other animals favored with this built-in sexual boon are bears and martens.
Another unusual aspect of the dog’s genital composition is the behavior of its penis at climax. During copulation, the erectile tissue of the penis swells enormously so that following ejaculation he is unable to withdraw his organ for some time, anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. This delayed withdrawal prevents the loss of semen from the female while also permitting an intimacy and togetherness at a particularly tender moment.

To make her bold Budget a success, I hope @RachelReevesMP will look at institutional rewiring and in particular the roles of the BoE and OBR - so that they are properly geared for growth.

Comedy drama looks easy. It isn't. I salute Ludwig, @RealDMitchell and writer Mark Brotherhood (and the army every production needs) for pulling it off so gloriously - here's to a second season.

Thank you @UofGlasgow for bestowing upon my mum the honorary degree of doctor of the University of Glasgow. This has brought her so much joy in the final beats of her life. Janey is so honoured, and I am so immensely proud of her. Congratulations Doctor Godley.
