Majestic performance from Janey Godley on Just A Minute - talking about making a first impression on the Orange Cheeto, which only made it better.

We’re working with Edinburgh NE Foodbank to collect any unused, non-perishable food items and toiletries you didn’t use this festival. If you’ve anything you’d like to donate, please drop it at our Backstage Bar and Bistro in Pleasance Courtyard from tomorrow morning till weds!

Genuinely astonishing work tonight by NORTHERN 🚆 - three passengers trying to get to Blackpool/Preston, told by Northern staff to get off at Hebden Bridge and take a rail replacement bus that wasn't for an hour (00:15). Left at an unstaffed station, after 11pm, with no help.

If anyone has a spare for this, I'll happily buy it from you:

I’ve done big gigs that I didn’t tweet about because I feel it’s ungracious, but I’m promoting my book that comes out on Friday. I’m ranked #1 in UK for ‘hot new releases’ under ‘writing’ and just found out I’m #4 in US & Canada for ‘creativity & genius’. amzn.eu/d/0oGfPKz

NEW: The Met Police says more than 1,000 officers are currently suspended or on restricted duties as it attempts to root out rogue officers. That’s 1 in every 34 officers. 275 are awaiting a gross misconduct hearing, many involving alleged violence against women and girls.

The scale of the Met’s clean up operation is astonishing and expected to take years. 450 officers are being investigated for historic allegations of sexual or domestic violence. Underlines the crisis of trust in the force, especially for women, if it needed further emphasising.

Does anyone (who I've met, rather than the broader /anyone/) fancy seeing Sarah Millican on Saturday night (Hammersmith Apollo)? Friend I booked with has the lurgy and doesn't want the seat to go to waste.
