So embarrassing when people think the point of reading a novel is to know the plot, so a summary is just as good. The plot isn’t important, you rube. You absolute simpleton. The point of reading a novel is to find out what the characters are eating and start thinking about what you want for dinner.

"But what about hotels...?" Around 135,000 homeless households in the UK are also given temporary accommodation in hotels and B&Bs. Compared to the 20,000 asylum seekers similarly housed. 12/

Guardian headline:

Private landlords and hotels cashing in on England's hidden homelessness crisis

Content warning Today is #SevereMEDay the birthday of Sophia Mirza. Sophia was wrongfully sectioned for refusing to attend a clinic that treated patients with Graded Exercise Therapy. The mistreatment during her stay resulted in a dramatic deterioration and she later died.

The continued political silence over the spread of these anti-migrant, anti-refugee pogroms in the UK is a disgrace. This one has been going on for three nights in a row now and the Home Secretary and Prime Minister haven't said a single word about it www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Can I try to make everyone feel a little better? Only eight teams have won the World Cup, ever, in its nearly century-long history. And England is one of them - and there or thereabouts for some years now. It’ll happen.

A Brit in the semis of Wimbledon, England still in the World Cup and Nigel Farage spending the summer arguing with a bin. Oh this happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea

🚨 BREAKING: Labour says it won't stand against Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election As it stands, only Count Binface will run against Farage
