The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.

It’s so weird to hear this from Shirley for a mistake-ridden routine for Pete and then huge criticism of Jamie… #Strictly

David Tennant is more talented than JK Rowling.

Kemi Badenoch on: Revenge porn: "We shouldn't legislate for hurt feelings." Abortion: voted against clinic buffer zones & pills-by-post Maternity leave: "It's excessive. We need more personal responsibility." JK Rowling celebrates a hit to women's rights to spite trans people

This was the poem that really turned on the lights for me when I was about 17. I don’t think it had occurred to me before then that poetry could be formally adroit *and* full of barely controlled anger.

WELL, doesn’t matter who else is in the dance-off, we KNOW who Shirley will send home! Raging!! #Strictly

One view: ‘The partygate scandal was overblown’ - Kemi Badenoch Another view:

my queen!! Montell is also a goddess, and did better in the dance-off, but Sam is my STAR and I hate this. There are much weaker dancers who’ve gone through to next week. I heavily blame the misdirected generosity towards those dancers! No chill! #Strictly

Undermark Sarah and I shall run mad #Strictly

Sarah is clearly Shirley’s new Sam #Strictly

Me when Shirley criticises Sarah #Strictly

Does Wyn know they all committed a crime together or —?? #Strictly

I was not a fan of this bloke but he obviously cares deeply and works incredibly hard. #Strictly

I didn’t adore that tho I love MoJo, but I think the Quality Street aesthetic and non-paso-song didn’t help #Strictly

So, I've just spent a bit of time looking into the debate on IHT and farming. I... got a shock. First, a note: I have a friend who runs a family farm. In his view, the whole thing is a something and nothing. 🧵

Why say nothing? Because you feel, in no particular order, embarrassed, a prude, shocked, waiting for a male colleague to call him out, not wanting to “rock the boat”, thinking it’s better to plough on with the day, assuming you misheard/misunderstood or just don’t get the joke.
