It won’t get better for a long time. But at least we’ll have a government whose sole aim isn’t just to make its rich mates even richer. Most of the decent Conservative MP’s had the whip taken away from them by Johnson or left because they wouldn’t serve under him. My first child was born on the...

I feel as if I’m currently in some sort of alternative universe!

I think they discussed this on TRIP’s a while back and said that Murdoch doesn’t exactly choose who’s going to win the next election but is pretty astute at knowing who is likely to win. Having said that, the gutter press support of Brexit enabled leave to win. I remember at the time being...

My first thought, too. You can add ‘Asamother’ Leadsom to that list, too. (Gisela Stewart having left immediately after the referendum result after she’d told everybody their energy bills would now come down).

Does anyone remember that book Chariots of the Gods that everyone was fooled by years ago? I’ve still got a copy somewhere!

I know he’s now gone full on flat earth society but today I’ve been watching all of Neil Oliver’s series about archeology etc on catchup (they followed on from Digging for Britain). Had forgotten how good those programmes were. I do love stuff about Druids etc.

Out of interest ( and without googling it) what percentage of people in England and Wales are described as ethnic?

I always remember a friend of mine backing Sinndar for the Derby after realising that the Aga Khan had gone to watch him race in Ireland when he could have been elsewhere. Methinks any angle is worth throwing in the mix when it comes to finding a winner!

We were in the cafe at Barter Books in Alnwick and asked where they got the lovely jam from that we had with our scones and they said Lidl, Bon Maman. We’ve been buying it ever since. I like the jars, too, and keep my collection of sea glass in them!

I went to Chepstow once and really didn’t like it. It had been refigured and I’m sure it must have been better before. The horses racing galloped past the pre parade ring which must have been unsettling fir the horses being led round and we couldn’t get up close to any of the fences, which is...

I keep getting posts on Facebook about an American company that supplies nurse mares for orphan foals. The stories are very heartwarming given the tragedy that would have unfolded before the orphan met its new mum. However, not knowing anything about the subject I keep wondering it it’s a bit...

Thanks. I’ve sometimes not been able to find races because I’ve been looking at ‘todays’ racing and not ‘tomorrows’. Not many runners are there? I backed Mystik Dan last time and really thought he’d got beat.

What time is the race?

…as was Audience just now….
