Is it 2023 or 1923? Woman with long standing successful tech journalist career lands an extra role on TV off her own bat. Yet newspaper headline ONLY names who she's married to and how she looks. (screen grab not link so as not to reward with clicks)

An exciting day for a small Womble 😃. Litter picked on my way to the Millennium Green @WalkleyFestival, lovely chats, a tummy tickle from @SheffNW_NPT PCSOs J & T 😊 then down to @RuskinWalkley for a quick spin on the roundabout 🗑♻️💚

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. Here, Blue is approaching Green with a seemingly ordinary pink blanket. Blue: I have perfected the temperature-blocking blanket! A view of the foxes cuddling, with the pink blanket between them as insulation. Blue, narrating: That way we can cuddle in the summer without either of us getting too hot! Returning to the time and place of the first panel. Blue has sat down, with the blanket still in his teeth. Green: What about in the winter? Blue frowns. Blue: It'll keep your icy snout off my belly.

Just deleted a comment from someone saying I can’t comment on the vigil because I don’t know what happened, so in case anyone doesn’t know, that’s me

We were so close to a gain in Walkley where the amazing @LoganRobin96 was so nearly elected after a fantastic campaign over the last year, missing out by only 98 votes despite a big campaign by Labour with former Labour leaders and big names campaigning for them there

Doesn't look like we're going to get much support from our local @UKLabour representatives in Sheffield this time round! Labour MP and Labour Mayor crossing @sheffielducu picket line despite being asked not to! How times change! #NeverCrossAPicketLine #OneOfUsAllOfUs

Brilliant visit to @TheAMRC Great example of how collaboration between @sheffielduni and industry is delivering #LevellingUp Manufacturing innovation leads to regional growth. Labour in government will apply the lessons from South Yorkshire across the country. @olivercoppard
