I always judge politicians on how they behave in my car when I pick them up for visits. @Keir_Starmer was actually the first I got after passing my test and he was absolutely lovely when I got lost in Linwood in the dark. That’s the sort of calm, reassuring person we all need now

Being pregnant for the first time during this crisis robs you of so many of the special, positive experiences you expected, is deeply upsetting & anxiety-enducing without having your partner in ICU. I am devastated for her, she is living the reality of the fears I have every day.
