  1. From BBC: Don't forget to listen to the program which I think is this coming Sunday at 15.30. I'll confirm this tomorrow. (this is the correct time) I have asked to be invited again in April or May so will let you know. Chick From: Nicola Holloway <[email protected]> Sent: 31 January 2023 15:36 To: Nicola Holloway <[email protected]> Subject: Thank you Thank you for joining us for our recording with Cal Flyn and your excellent questions. I hope you enjoyed the experience, and the programme on Sunday. I have left in as many questions as I could. Our next recordings are on 16/02 with Nadifa Mohamed (The Fortune Men) and on 15/03 with Tan Twan Eng (The Garden of Evening Mists). These are both evening recordings in the Council Chamber at BBC Broadcasting House. All the details are on the website; do drop me a line if you would like to come to either. It’s a big space so there is room for plus-ones. I’m @nicolaholloway7 on Twitter if you’d like to follow me – I always tweet about upcoming recordings. And we put the details on our webpages as soon as authors are confirmed. Please don’t wait to be invited and please do tell your friends. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006s5sf With very best wishes Nicola

  5. I think it odd that both Cruela and Patel are the children of immigrants and yet both are hostile to immigrants whether refugees or they are fleeing human rights abuses or fleeing countries we have had a hand in bombing. Personally I would welcome all.
  6. House of Lords, why not have it elected on proportional representation basis?

  20. but I don't feel I belong in Labour as long as they seem to be reluctant to nail their colours to the mast when it comes to safeguarding the rights of women and children, or even being able to simply define what a woman is. What exactly do you want from the Labour Party?
