New laws in Afghanistan, introduced by the Taliban, mean that men can now marry girls at any age – there is no limit. Male relatives can arrange this with other men, and it’s only once the girls reach puberty that, in extremely limited circumstances, they can ask a court to dissolve the marriage. What’s happening in that country is horrific, and it begs the question why Amnesty are not putting all of their resources into tackling this latest child abuse atrocity.
As good as everyone says it is but, if you’re doing the audio book, boy do you need patience to deal with the US pronunciations of British place names…
#TheArchers Howling at Adam’s “Then you can just leave the land to me, Brian” line. The Aldridges are so compellingly awful.
Racing through this on Audible. It’s excellent and I’m now 💯certain I could manage a very passable Derry accent.
No one is kept in to be useful to the traitors! You’re not that important #TheTraitors

This is very powerful. At least 60 women with eating disorders have died through medically-assisted suicide (the true number is likely to be much more). A third young women aged 17-30. There is no fixed medical definition of "terminal" & some doctors apply it in terrible ways.
Around the world, people with eating disorders have died under assisted dying laws. Ailidh could have been one of them.
People like Ailidh need support to live, not assistance to die. It is time to rethink the Assisted Dying Bill. #DyingForTreatment
On #TheArchers do you think they’ve deliberately ripped off Succession with the Aldridge family storyline?
Alice = Shiv
Adam = Kendall
Ruaraidh = Roman
Kate = Connor
Can’t wait for Brian’s “You are not serious people” line in the back room of The Bull.
In #TheArchers how old is Esme supposed to be? Apparently older than Josh, but she sounds early 20s. Why doesn’t anyone remember her from school? Or growing up in a very small village?
Can’t wait to read this new book by @HarrietLane_
Viciously funny writing by @HarrietLane_ I her new book ‘Other People’s Fun’. The protagonist is glumly scrolling through the lives of ex school friends on Instagram…
