The Met is utterly dysfunctional - an embarrassment of a police force. The scandals are just piling up and - like Johnson - Cressida Dick doesn't appear the least bit ashamed.

@toadmeister @emmavj Jeezo - how many times? Women aren't attracted to low-paying jobs. The jobs are low-paying because they have traditionally attracted women.

Do you know what I miss? People lifting the phone. I mean professionally not personally. Some days it feels like endless email exchanges stretching over hours to resolve stuff that could have been sorted out in a three minute conversation.

In a cafe yesterday, I was served by a lad who'd been about to get his acting break when the pandemic struck + the play was cancelled. He said he was reading lots + had just discovered Ingmar Bergman. Don't know why I'm recounting this, other than, please stop dissing young folk.

So the drug deaths figures for 2019 are as bad as anticipated- a governmental failure with a catastrophic human cost. It’s a national emergency. Treat it, fund it as such. And stop passing the buck.

I really didn't want to respond to the backlash, but it is difficult when you are being traduced to just sit back and take it. My piece has been legalled several times and I have been assured there is nothing in it that constitutes a contempt of court.

Whenever I feel I might lose my bearings over the Salmond affair - and I often do - I focus on this: the first two complaints were brought by non party political civil servants one of whom the former FM had already apologised to.

Extraordinary that the documentaries on Princess Latifa and Britney Spears should be aired on the same night so we can see that, more than 100 years after Camille Claudel, women are still being locked up/controlled by male relatives on the pretext of mental health problems.
