Sam THANK YOU for your lovely words, I was having a bit of an annoying day and you have instantly transformed it into a good one! Really appreciated.

I found the images of Rachel Reeves so distressing and that she was placed in a position that her distress could be dissected. Surely she should have been excused?

Agree, and the way Kemi Badenoch took advantage of it has bothered me all week. Disgusting.

Thanks so much for the mention, Sam. I happened to read Anna Wharton’s brilliant piece about what would have been her 25th anniversary on the morning of mine and Ian’s civil partnership. Waited till after we’d signed before I commented on it!

Thank you for these weekly Friday gems, Sam. The "Ask Polly" piece was particularly moving for me as I am on this very journey right now. Thank you.

Started We Were Liars (having loved the book), got halfway through the first episode and gave up. Perhaps I should have given it more of a chance!

I felt the same. Nearly didn’t go back for second episode then all of a sudden I was on ep 5
