Maybe it’s time for David Cassidy to make a comeback as well.

Difficult decisions lie ahead over the Ukrainian refugee scheme
When I last spoke to The House about the Homes for Ukraine scheme, I marked success in terms of bringing down visa processing times from several weeks to a few days. Six months on from the start of the Russian invasion, we can now mark success as 120,000 Ukrainians living in safety in the United Kingdom – welcoming and supporting a population bigger than the average parliamentary constituency.

Labour will continue to take a lead on tackling violence against women and girls

Mrs Crackenthorpe's Diary – 25 September edition
Sincere congratulations to those who made it to Labour conference – in light of the unrelenting hell of our locomotive system, particularly to those arriving by carriage, river steamer, or horseback. Your prize is three days of hob-nobbing in the city Charles Dickens commended as “open handed and munificent." No end of earthly delights awaits. And, sadly, karaoke.
