Still having the company meetings online.

good morning to everyone except my boyfriend, who didn’t consult me before he used washing up liquid in lieu of dishwasher tablets last night

Grant Shapps: "We've never told people where they have to specifically locate themselves." Really? I feel like the phrase "stay home" might have come up. #Marr

I can’t remember a clearer demonstration of contempt for the people from a sitting Prime Minister. Johnson might as well have shambled into shot, given us all the finger and walked off again.

When you find out who it was, let us know. I want to give them a year’s salary.

I’m after some feedback on Lexia PowerUp. If anyone has used it in secondary schools in the past or currently uses it, what sort of results are you seeing and is it worth the money? If not, what alternatives are you using? Thanks! Team English

So glad they’ve introduced these new ‘slicing tomatoes’ so I can finally stop having to pull tomatoes apart with my fists

Each episode of #ItsASin left me angry and upset in the best possible way. I've seen enough Russell T Davies to expect a certain amount of the unexpected (Colin!) but the final wrongfooting made me gasp aloud and I'm still crying now. This scene will stay with me forever:
