Not convinced that Matt Hancock, Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt are or were a gift to the nation.

Many years ago our lovely, now sadly deceased, neighbours bought some fabulous silk underwear at a country house sale: they turned out to be Henry’s silk and gold thread undercrackers!

Ooh yes, there’s a lot of the provincial vicar about him.

There is a suspicion that James wasn’t the author: several ghost-writers!

As soon as they’ve cracked the self cleaning food-waste bin and the toilet roll innards that migrate to the bin by themselves!

One of the “lively” shepherds throwing a left hook at a “sheep” was a particularly memorable nativity for me as a young teacher. Oh and the time the angels dropped like ninepins with norovirus!

Is it just his opening line for the next leadership beauty contest?

It’s the people who will follow them and have to sort out the mess. A terrible job.

Did that once: child 3 had packed some sweets, a book and one pair of underpants for a week-long visit to grandparents. Thank goodness for 24hour supermarkets!

I’d like to say I have confidence in your colleagues in this regard. Sadly, in many cases, my experience causes me doubt!

Well, you learn something new every day! In other news, the Ferry Hotel in Eastham is a lovely place for lunch!

An edgy club, and the young woman in the foreground is wearing a cardigan and pearls: simpler times…

Many, many years ago at teacher training college ( that old!) a fellow student informed us that she could have gone to Durham (uni)… if she’d only got the grades! Strange what springs to mind isn’t it?

A local restaurant used to do the most wonderful spicy mackerel as a starter: it’s still the talk of our family chat!

All those times we’ve observed provision, then adapted it to encourage mark-making for all children!
The really maddening thing is the lack of real opportunity to complain to Ofsted!

I know I’d have been too stressed to do so but a good question for such an “inspector” would be to ask their advice for the child named Meibh Caoimh?

We have an even bigger shortage of fairly-remunerated care workers!

Would old-fashioned “O” levels count? What about CSEs? Perhaps we could have a SPAG test in order to gain your polling card?

The lovely people of Nottinghamshire will have the cost of a by-election, presumably meaning less funding for granny’s care.

Those same “latch-key” kids are now supporting their aged parents, helping their own kids with mortgage deposits and providing child-care, whilst continuing to work or volunteering at the local food-bank.

I find a bit of out of tune humming ( think Les Dawson at the piano) is quite effective, along with a cheesy smile!

I think a voter on our local news explained that her Facebook is bombarded with messages several times a day. Traditional campaigning isn’t needed when turnout for locals is in the 20-30%.

I disagree, as a young and eloquent socialist mp, Nadia is the future of the Labour Party.

Respect also to @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social for her brave and patient attempt to explain the ruling on Newsnight this week!

A very low turnout (quite possible in many areas) will be even more ridiculous.
