Another excellent example of how the Telegraph isn’t actually a newspaper at all, so much as a fictional indulgence for wealthy Tories; a Conservative OnlyFans
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Since Trump said he was deporting immigrants because they are criminals and drug dealers, he has brought in 17 family members of notorious cartel leader "El Chapo", accused trafficker/rapist Andrew Tate, is pardoning the Honduran drug trafficker, and has pardoned hundreds of convicted criminals

Honestly, decisions are wildly overrated. Estimate how much time you use making decisions, and that is time you’d save. I’ve worked hard to remove as many decisions as physically possible from my life and it’s so freeing!

One of the talks being hosted at the SuperheroEd National Conference 2026, a grassroots conference, taking the hidden pedagogy from caped legends
In my new Edubook,
"Educating Gotham: not all teachers wear capes"
I will explore the impact of the Batman Effect as I ask teachers to don capes in an effort to secure outstanding behaviour.
Available in bookstores eventually.

The Batman effect: A female experimenter, appearing pregnant, boarded the train. In the experimental condition, an additional experimenter dressed as Batman entered from another door. Passengers were significantly more likely to offer their seat when Batman was present (67.21% vs. 37.66%).

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Best choice if pregnant and using public transport: dress as Batman
Ah, that makes more sense. When I first saw this study mentioned, I thought it said people were more likely to offer a seat *to Batman* than to a pregnant woman.
It probably says something about my past experience as a pregnant person on Metro that I found that idea plausible.

I’m not sure how I would deal with being found to have been responsible for 23k deaths, but I think it would likely involve removing myself from public life and finding some way to help save lives.
