Been made aware that Glas'bury In-vision BSL Interpreters on BBC had very little prep before providing all weekend service. The call out for interpreters was only 2 weeks ago. They have absolutely done a really commendable job in these circumstances. Bravo!

My Dad has passed away this afternoon. Genny and I said our goodbyes at 2pm and swap places with Mum and Matt (cos 2 is the limit). At 2.10pm, slipped away as my Mum lay her head on the pillow next to him and it was a lovely moment. Naturally, I'm incredibly sad right now Xxx

@chiefrabbi @DPJHodges The current moral compass of this country leave a lot to be desired, if it exists at all. I'm not happy with the lack of compassion, care or empathy with current government on the UK as a whole. I'm confident it will get immensely better under Corbyn.
