Wanted a book. Popped into Foyles Bookshop but left after a couple of minutes. Why do you point lights directly into customers’ eyes? It’s as welcoming as a gestapo interrogation. Perhaps my eyes are getting worse but it’s just awful. #disability #baddesign

Quite appalled to remember #cecilparkinson on #greatbritishsexscandal. Reminded that then, as now, Tories were corrupt and self serving. #elections tomorrow. Come on Britain. You know what you need to do.

Oh my God, this is utterly shameful… This right here, is the Tory effect.

I’ve had the privilege to cater for tea after ⁦Haemophilia Society⁩ annual memorial service for a few years now. From those, I have some sense of how raw the pain has been and still is. My prayers for all those affected by this utter disgrace. theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

Prime Minister announces general election in the rain

Hi Addison Lee. There’s something seriously wrong with your app. Are you really able to time travel?

Hello The Hen and Chickens Theatre Do you have an accessible version of the website to book tickets? Black font on dark blue. Grey text on a black background. Does the ‘designer’ have any understanding of slight visual disability? #ableist #crass #baddesign

Hi Camden Council - it would be great if something could be done about persistent #selfishsignage. It’s on a marked route for people with #visualimpairment and it’s obstructing wheelchair users and buggies. I spoke to them - they didn’t seem to care. By the #horsehospital

Hi Thomas Pocklington Trust - your visitors are contending with enough already. I’m sorry that they also have #selfishsignage to deal with. I tried to speak gently with the business but they seemed not to care. 😥

Looking back on 14 years of the Tories is like looking back at the traumatising post-vindaloo shit you just did in the toilet.

We didn't have parties to "boost morale". We didn't have quiz nights. We didn't have champagne. We watched our colleagues die. We watched the bodies pile high in their thousands. These lying, cheating, self-serving charlatans need to be flung out of office. Use your vote. Vote.

Why does it take a huge humbling to get a speech from Rishi Sunak that felt like he meant it and had some integrity and decency? I guess that I shouldn’t be surprised but it’s such a shame that so much of politics is about pride and conceit.

Curiously, helicopter overflights near Russell Square seem to have stopped since 5th July. That was when Rishi Sunak resigned as PM. I can only assume that the two are related. #gladhesgone

Abdullah saved someone's life today in Leicester Square by stopping an attacker who had a knife. Make sure everybody knows.

Dinner at a Copenhagen Michelin listed restaurant (bib not stars). Lovely food but a bit emperor’s new clothes. Been told, in all sincerity, Cotes du Rousillon is next to Chateauneuf du Papes. First world problem I know. But relies on gullibility?

Many thanks to Darren from The LTDA for the complimentary lift to St Martin-in-the-Fields with the meat for the international group Christmas Lunch tomorrow. And many thanks to McKanna Meats for their support through the year. #KindnessIsPowerful

Today we remember the child of refugees, of questionable parentage, born homeless and relying on the kindness of others. That’s Jesus of course. But so many in our times who claim to know him would not offer such generosity of heart.

⁦The Guardian⁩ Speedy crossword No 1,537, 6 Down: Autumnal agrarian activity (9) Haymaking? Really? I’m a townie but even I know that haymaking is a summer activity

Shepherds pie day St Martin-in-the-Fields for a lovely group of homeless refugees. Thanks to taxi driver Lee from The LTDA for the free ride there with the ingredients. Good to know that there are still plenty who show love and care

Dear ⁦The Guardian⁩ There’s something wrong with this recipe. Oil listed in the dough ingredients for the samboussek but doesn’t appear in the method. Please advise and please update! Thanks theguardian.com/food/2025/dec/…
