Lionesses, Soya milk. Now Padel. Born in the wrong generation. Possibly the wrong body. Belongs on a grad scheme in South West London.Great night at Padel tonight. About 20 of us in total took over 4 courts. Great fun and great excercise bosh.

- Just seen a woman clutching her phone as she comes out at Oxford Circus station. Luckily, I have my printout of the Crime Survey of England and Wales to hand. βListen up, you daft cow. Robberies have been declining precipitously since the 1990s.β She scurries away. Ashamed.

- Texts this morning in one of the extremist Telegram Group Chats Iβve successfully infiltrated.
- Kemi Badenoch should be banned from attending Prime Ministerβs Questions until she can *prove* that she has watched Adolescence from start to finish.
- Mr Putin. I wonβt mince my words here. You have breached International Law.
