After my son(11) described my wife as negative and quite angry, much to her chagrin, I tried to rescue the situation…
Me: Have you got anything nice to say about your mum?
Son: I love her very much, she helps me when I have nightmares and….she’s very gaslightable. 🙄

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...
78% are murdered by a partner/ex
Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this
Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety
In fact, they voted against them...

In the early 2000’s my commute included walking past a record shop, it was dangerous for my bank account. As a result, 25 years later, I’m finding gems in my collection that I’ve always overlooked. Found this one yesterday 🤯.

If you happen upon any Mystic Brew vinyl from Fatcity Records, snap it up. It won’t disappoint. They’re compilation albums from the late 90’s onwards. Hiphop, reggae, funk and soul, new(back then) and old. This was their 2nd and introduced me to this gem in ‘98. #vinyl

“Costs are not spiralling. Projected total welfare payments, at around 11 per cent of national income a year, are lower than when David Cameron was prime minister even though there are more pensioners.”
A much needed corrective by @chrisgiles.ft.com to the "welfare is out of control" narrative, drawing on research by my colleague @benbgeiger.bsky.social

No need for a moral panic about the welfare system
It’s far from perfect, but the UK’s spending is broadly controlled and employment is high

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽♂️

You know who doesn't integrate? People like Robert Jenrick. You think he works out at the local leisure centre? Goes to the Tuesday night pub quiz? You think his golf club lets anyone play? Or his private members' clubs let anyone in? He puts the ick in prick
