It's very fun to date a journalist bc for like two weeks you are forced to watch every TV show, movie or vintage YouTube interview one actor ever did and then you'll never discuss that actor again for like a decade

Dear Rishi Sunak,

I'm an immigrant NHS worker. We're charged £2,400 for permanent visas despite the govt cost of £243. A family of 4 is charged up to £12,000! In the worst NHS staff crisis in history, this is profoundly foolish and incredibly cruel. FIX THIS NOW.

This is absolutely correct. We saw the libel laws used to try to silence those pointing out some of the affairs of Putin’s people in the UK too. Anyone with bottomless pockets can take advantage to silence those who simply want the truth. Thank you Dan Neidle

UPDATE | We are continuing to appeal for information about missing Nicola Bulley, 45, from Inskip, last seen on Friday at 9.15am on the footpath by the river off Garstang Rd, St Michael’s on Wyre.

Information? Call 101, log 473 of Jan 27.

Tbf that’s actually pretty sound advice 🤷‍♀️

Polls haven’t generally shown this number for rejoining the EU (although they have shown the majority now think leaving was a mistake).
The point about major political parties is correct. There is a giant opportunity now for a party brave enough to make the case for the EU.

'River Wye: Why the impending ‘death’ of one of the UK’s longest and best loved rivers should worry us all.'

'The state of the River Wye fills me, and should fill everybody else in this country, with a righteous indignation and rage.'

A quite angry column, about rivers, and the sea, and sewage-dumping. The only kind of patriotism I can get fully on board with would be a Green Patriotism: love of our actual country. Which is now being drowned in shit: thetimes.co.uk/article/0b8e6b…

If your local MP complains about their blue plaque remind them of this.

Gov MPs voted to legalise the dumping of sewage into the environment; something that had been illegal since 1991.

Did they not understand that or hadn't the Whips Office explained it to them?

Blimey.

Rod Stewart rings into Sky News to say: “I personally have been a Tory for a long time but I think this government should stand down now and give the Labour Party a go at it.”

Last night, 292 Conservative MPs voted to allow sewage dumping by water companies in our rivers and coasts for at least 15 more years.

Can you spot your MP on the list?

Come on - the Daily Mail Online stories HAVE to be being written by AI bots. This is a story about Jennifer Lawrence wearing some clothes:

Yesterday I FREAKED OUT because I'd read Chris Packham was retiring from TV presenting. This morning I learned he's stepping back for THREE MONTHS ONLY, which is roughly the same amount of time the wrong news took off my life.
