I had to read the article to understand what "physical wealth" meant because despite having a decent income and nice house I own barely any *things* worth any money. Just my laptop and phone, worth a few hundred.
Nice dataviz from the ONS showing median wealth split by category at different points of the distribution: www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...

70% of the additional spending from removing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work. This is targeting support for low-income working households who are being priced out of a decent standard of living despite doing everything asked of them.

I have upgraded my phone to one with a better camera mainly for the purposes of zooming in on specks pulled from my child's hair to see if they are dirt or head lice. Also for macro photography of flowers and insects. #MumsInTech

Our tax calculator is now updated for the Budget: taxpolicy.org.uk/wp-content/a...
You'll see no change in the tax you pay in 2026/27 unless you're a landlord or receive interest/dividend income.

It is simply because the Mail thinks disabled people shouldn’t be seen in “nice” cars there is no economic justification for it
So they pay a top-up to get a 'premium' car but that option's being taken away anyway?
'Premium' cars like BMW and Mercedes cut from Motability scheme
Motability says it will provide vehicles that meet disabled peoples' needs and are safe and affordable.

When you spot someone sleeping rough, you can share the details with the local outreach team at www.thestreetlink.org.uk. It helps workers offer guidance and routes into safer accommodation. #BeTheLink

Salaries in digital should be up 78% vs 2005 to match inflation but they're stagnant instead.
In 2005 I had one year's experience and accepted a Digital Project Manager role at GOOD Agency paying £32,000. In today's money that's £56,918.

Tried to do the #Halloween thing but in Scotland the kids tell jokes and I immediately forgot the format of basic jokes so I kept causing them to go wrong.
"knock knock"
... "I don't know... Erm, what?"
Or "trick or treat?"...

Remembering when Sussex police sent a uniformed officer to my workplace to tell me to stop organising an alternative pride BBQ on the beach (which had already happened a week before, organised by someone else)...

Does anyone have advice for toilet training regression for a 5yr old boy? Started 3 weeks ago and is wetting himself at least once a day now, after a year of rare accidents. He starts school in 2 weeks, but doesn't seem particularly worried about it or anything else.

Pivot to video was such a curse. Now everything’s like obviously you’d rather watch a 40 minute video than read a sentence.
