Don’t just judge it by its beautiful cover - Laura’s books are fab. Really looking forward to getting stuck in

Unless it’s actually what she means - some years you get CPI, some years you qualify for 2.5%. Everyone’s ‘basic’ state pension ends up unique to them and their changing circumstances…??
The language she used refers to means testing the triple lock - but you means-test the benefit (the state pension) not the uprating mechanism (the triple lock)

Exceptional hazing of Claire Coutinho. "You stated 'the climate change lobby have been itching to get this on the statute book for years'. As the person who put it onto the statute book, can you confirm if you are or have ever been a member of the climate change lobby?" @pollybillington.bsky.social

Technological developments are out-stripping our capacity to tackle violence against women and girls.
Sexually-explicit deepfakes are becoming an increasingly worrying issue - in and out of schools.
So, I am today calling on the Government to ban nudifying tools and apps.

I’m giving this a go.
I think it’s important we still exist every space, even if it’s uncomfortable. You can’t find the compromises you need to make to live in a cohesive society if you don’t engage with those who you disagree with.
But it would be nice to have nice spaces too.
