I had a great time writing for the News Quiz this week. It's always good fun.

Because we all know how well those 400,000 vulnerable people were doing after 14 years of the Tory Party, right? If mental health charities and disability rights charities both criticise your policy, maybe you should be the one looking for a new job.

Looking for jobs on the DWP website, and this advert for a job at Tesco did make me laugh!

Lovely to see The Alexei Sayle Podcast on Richard Osman's house of games today. Great to see him use his podcast catchphrase "I'm 71!'
