What an unbelievably wonderful day! I’ve just had the honour of receiving my MBE for services to literature from His Majesty King Charles III. He was everything I hoped he would be: kind, sincere, engaged, humorous and patient. Every single recipient was made to feel valued.

This was the debate on
@GMB
yesterday. I am gobsmacked and I think my face shows it.
'She's the epitome of a self-obsessed, over-consumed, drinks-too-much woman who isn't fit for the work place.'
'It's ludicrous that we're not allowing space for comedy. It's comforting to watch.'
Is Bridget Jones harmful for women?
