Gen X meets menopause. Expect turbulence.
Or maybe he just made it up on the spot. Hard to tell. Department of State and military must be having nervous breakdowns over all the wars he seems keen to start. How do you do diplomacy under those conditions?

Yes, am a middle aged working class woman whose parents chose a popular name for in 1972. I get grumpy because I have low estrogen and I complain when I think something is wrong. Hilarious.

This is why the Tories keep getting back in and f**king things up. Because the centre and left can't bloody put the country above their own petty and ideological differences. Labour and anyone who doesn't want to see a Reform government in 2029 need to sort this out.

Not forgetting @tomwatsonofficial.bsky.social of course. Equally if not more brave to hang in there for this admission and apology.

Am depressed by yesterday's events in Washington but focussing on their outlandish language and gestures is EXACTLY what they want and doesn't help persuade people to stop supporting them. Critique what they do and don't play their distraction game. It doesn't work and you can't win it.

I would go further. Make internet companies operating in the UK subject to same regulations as old media. Unfair they aren't subjected to same statutory scrutiny as TV, Radio and print mediums. Enforce hard with fines based on percentage of profits/income.

Well we wouldn't have had any idea if we had relied on either social workers or the NHS to tell us about it. We lost Dad in 2023 but I won't ever forget how difficult the so called "system" made it for my parents and wider family.

Time for the industry to change training to tackle this, the changing employment market and the massive inequality of access to the profession. Apprenticeships and better regional youth theatre/young people's companies supported by NPO theatres and TV/film companies should be introduced.

Had lots of visits from useless social worker whilst Mam was struggling to look after my Dad (Parkinson's and Dementia). He never once mentioned it. Was a family friend that told us about it and Dad easily qualified. System needs changing.
