When women say how the actions of a man made them feel, believe them. Amanda Abbington has nothing to gain from this and everything to lose. She was brave to speak up, knowing the inevitable response she would get.

Exclusive: Amanda Abbington tells Krishnan Guru-Murthy that Strictly producers told her "we are shocked and horrified" when reviewing footage of rehearsals with her partner Giovanni Pernice, who denies abusive behaviour allegations
Happy birthday to the legend that is Adam Ant. The most beautiful man in pop, the original Prince Charming, and the man who was Jack Sparrow long before Johnny Depp!

Julia Hartley-Brewer is one of the most arrogant, closed-minded, unpleasant gobshites I’ve ever heard. Why does she get air time?

One time a nurse took one look at my cervix and said ‘I see you’re a non-smoker’. If I could blow smoke out if there love, I’d be in the circus.
Distraught that the friendly voice that’s kept me company for the last 40 years is signing off today. Afternoons will never be the same again. Thank you Steve Wright, me old mucker, and the best DJ in the business.

Fucking lapse?! A decent man was brutally killed. He was loved by many. A community is mourning. His heartbroken loved ones will NEVER be the same. Make a proper apology to his family.
To be honest, I wasn’t in the Idris Elba camp, the Tom Hardy camp or the Henry Cavill camp. I was firmly in the Justin Fletcher camp and now my dreams are shattered.

down an alleyway. He attacked me. There was a struggle so violent that my shoes came off. I screamed for help. A woman in a nearby building opened a window and called out to me. The man ran away. The woman came to help me. She took me in then walked me home. She saved me.
How can Thomas’s parents tell him to leave The People’s Princess?! I hope they watch the programme and see Adrian for the sweet angel he really is.

How come it’s 2024 and people are STILL refusing to believe that two men acted inappropriately because those men are ‘good-looking’? Believe women when they say how a man’s actions made them feel.

I once nearly passed out at the Globe theatre and had to have a bit of a sit down. Once I’d got myself together again, I looked up and saw Johnny Ball smiling at me. A warm, fuzzy feeling of childhood comfort came over me and I suddenly felt much better. Thanks Johnny x
There once was a DJ called Ball,
Who earned much more dosh than us all,
Her accountant was tireless,
As she talked on the wireless,
And the BEEB pissed our cash up the wall.

I was 16. I was walking home in the dark. A man was following me. He caught up with me and walked along beside me. He spoke to me, asking the same question over again. I ignored him at first. He persisted. I shouted at him to go away. He grabbed me by the throat and pushed me 1/2

There once was a lass called Prunella
And I really hope that you will tell her
We loved her as Sybil
And no one would quibble
That Tim West’s one lucky old fella
Happy big birthday to your beautiful mum x

Go back and see him. Take him to the pub. Go for a walk and a chat. Tell him everything you’ve put on here. Now he’s back in your life, don’t lose him. You’re not his pupil anymore, but you could still be his friend. 🙂
Watch Johnson’s reaction as he listens to this recording of him and fellow ex-Bullingdon Club member, Darius Guppy, as Johnson agrees to provide the address of a journalist that Guppy wants to ‘rough up’.
Johnson thinks the subject is hilarious. He really isn’t fit to be our PM.

This. You’re very young Maddie. You think your generation is hard done by and that you have all the answers. You don’t. You know nothing. One day you’ll be 50. Not only will you be ashamed of what you did today, but you’ll find arrogant 21-year-old ‘activists’ really annoying.

Perving? I’m a feminist and an advocate for women’s safety in public, but this man was just sitting on a bench in broad daylight. Unless you can prove otherwise.
All unpleasantness aside, I have to say that Steve Coogan is an incredibly talented actor. His Stan Laurel was brilliant, so I look forward to watching his portrayal of the abhorrent Jimmy Savile.

I once bumped into an ex who’d made my life hell. He was all smiles, told me I should come round to dinner with him and his wife, and gave me his business card. I took it, said goodbye, walked away and - knowing he'd still be watching - put the card in the first bin I saw. I won.

After an unsuccessful petulant protest, two bellends were removed from the QEII Bridge, at great cost to the taxpayer, and arrested. They achieved fuck all, except pissing off the locals. There, fixed it for you.

This is how the exchange unfolded:

I remember going to see the fertility specialist, whose office was on the labour ward. Women who can’t have children are surrounded by women who can. It’s so thoughtless.

This was a hard video to make.
Another horrific series of allegations has a horrible impact on survivors.

It’s wonderful, gentle comedy that takes me back to a simpler, happier time. And Irene Handl will always be the nation’s favourite nan.
