Morning Thérèse Coffey Have a great weekend.

I accept all cookies. Please. I beg you. Stop asking.

Like you care.

I’d have backdated the fag/vape ban to 2006 to capture all school kids, but I think it’s broadly sensible.

Lot of parents seem to want their kids to suffer uniform, homework and pressure at school to ‘prepare them for work’. Work doesn’t have to be like that. Childhood definitely doesn’t. Weird.

That Ben Whittaker needs taking down a peg or two.

I’m done with books. Every now and then I try - like people do with gyms. It’s not for me. It’s like being presented with a pile of ironing.

7.59am “The surgery opens at 8am, please call back later.”

8am “You are number 36 in the queue, please hold or call back later”

GP contracts don’t seem to match what we need.

Fiat were back to where they started in 1977, in front!

Took some limbs off the oaks down the bottom earlier. Big sweat. Proper work. #ukwoodchat #arboriculture #arbchat

11,000 miles and a hoot to drive. Not the perfect car but costs £1500 less in fuel than my last imperfect car.

There’s nothing near me. We don’t get food delivery apps, no ubers, there’s not even a mobile signal. This is like ripping through the fabric of time, leaping forward into the late 20th century. #suffolk

Does anybody not northern English pronounce the first bit of ‘transport’ to rhyme with barn rather than ban?

If so where are you from and do you know others who do?

Incredible accessory on the front rack of this moulton..

There’s a person like near me who is like talking about like Bali.

If you’ve got an EV, make sure you tax it before the end of March, even if it doesn’t need taxing!

From 1st April 25, EV’s will have to pay VED. If it’s taxed now, it’ll need taxing again in March 2025. That way, you’ll get another 12 months at £0 before needing to pay £180 👌🏼

I’m going to go to bed with a Jubbly.

I’ve eaten too many lentils.
