Have you got an inner goblin? Do you ever let it out? ionegamble and halimajibril tells us more about the new social media trend which celebrates our inner slob:

In a new 8-part series 'Roar' Meera Syal plays Anu, a character making radical life changes in 'The Woman Who Returned her Husband'Described as 'darkly comic feminist fables' ‘Roar’ is a new eight-part drama series adapted from Cecilia Aherne's short story collection. Each episode shines a spotlight on women's experiences and how women navigate through other's perceptions of them as well as their own.

A new report highlights the experiences of over 260 Black, Asian, minority ethnic and foreign national women in the twelve prisons across England. Their accounts of indirect and direct racism have been described as shocking and distressing The report is compiled by the Criminal Justice Alliance in collaboration with the Independent Monitoring Boards.

Have you got an inner goblin? Do you ever let it out? Not washing for days, slobbing in bed, binge watching TV series in one sitting, eating random things left at the back of your fridge with melted cheese on… these would all be considered ‘goblin mode’. You might do it in private but would you post pictures to social media for the world to see? Well this has become a new trend taking over TikTok with videos using the hashtag gaining over 2.1 billion views.

The UK government has been told to stop matching lone female Ukrainian refugees with single men. The UN has intervened following concerns that women and sometimes children are at risk of sexual exploitation. Under the government’s Homes for Ukraine scheme, British hosts must link up with refugees themselves, leaving tens of thousands of people to resort to unregulated social media groups to connect.

Esme Young has been at the cutting edge of the fashion industry for over 50 years. From launching her own label Swanky Modes, dressing stars like Grace Jones and Cher and more recently being one half of the judging duo on The Great British Sewing Bee. Esme joins Chloe to discuss her new book, 'Behind The Seams', where she recounts iconic outfits and raucous parties and the clothes in her wardrobe she just can't part with.

ShaymaBakht LouCalvey Who could have foreseen etc.

ShaymaBakht LouCalvey Ironically we all know which ‘women’ and which ‘men’ we are talking about here any why. These poor women.

MeeraSyal Thank you MeeraSyal - always lifting up the voices of South Indian women, look forward to the new pod series gossip & goddesses.

MeeraSyal 👀 Might we yet get a comedy drama depicting the highs and lows of a netball team? 🙏

MeeraSyal “ what you should be doing.....”. Try not having the money to pay the bills, try worrying so much you cannot sleep. Middle Class netball teams dont have many of these Mums.

Majority of prostitution arrests in Sweden involved Ukrainian women'Operation Cod' made the shocking discovery that Ukrainian women, often fleeing their homeland alone or with children, were being exploited and trafficked to Sweden to work as prostitutes. While their men are dying for their land, they fuck for a fiver (and don't tell me the Swedish gov keeps the poor Ukrainian women hungry so they have to fuck to survive, they just want an additional buck) Brilliant. This is why western countries provoke the war. They wanted Ukrainian hookers. Demonising Ukranians on behalf of other countries now? That's a low blow even for a dull rag like yours. While we're at it, re. your headline 'Don't they know there's a war on?'-it's not *our* war. Even your particular reader demographic of elderly racist budgerigars know this.
