Glastonbury in the '90s was primitive, muddy, affordable and available (we bought tickets a month or so before in '93 but lots of people didn't bother with paying at all). Today it's become a corporate behemoth. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I fear for young #disabled people. Employers don't want them. That's the hard truth that's been absent from this discussion. What's the government doing about it? Nothing. #DisabilityBenefits #DisabilityRebellion

This is very true. Striking thing about this government is the complete lack of a coherent plan or even interest in formulating one. And they had years. Years in opposition to put together a programme, and be ready to roll when they got into office. Like the first Blair govt did

Who will Trump pick to replace his ‘terrible’ and ‘stupid’ Federal Reserve boss? (He wants a yes man - so put your money on Treasury sec Scott Bessent). Me for Independent Voices independent.co.uk/independentpre…

Needless to say, I’m not going to watching Glastonbury tonight… Can’t wait. PE ⁦Royal Albert Hall⁩ . Come on…Does it get any better?

When it’s Rachel Reeves vs Andrew Bailey, I know who my money’s on Britain’s two biggest economic bosses have differing views over the health of the economy. Recent figures suggest Bailey is much closer to the truth. independent.co.uk/voices/rachel-…

‘We need to fix it the Labour way’ - Starmer banging on about ‘broken’ benefits system. Given the way he has talked about disability, and the disgraceful assisted dying bill, what does that even mean anymore?? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Too hot, too hot, too hot.

If AI kills off entry-level jobs, can the City survive? Who's going to fill the higher level roles if the bots don't pan out? Me for Independent Voices independent.co.uk/voices/ai-grad…

This is the problem. But also the rhetoric. To my mind, the government has equated ‘disabled’ with ‘scrounger’ and it’s unforgivable #DisabilityRebellion #DisabilityBenefits

Quoting this at roughly 11pm chomping on Haribo because my BG is in the red (3.5). Well said from Jonsel

One of the lifts at St Pancras isn’t working this am to get to EMR. If you need to use it go to the lift nearest F&M

The markets have spoken – and it is they, not the PM, that saved Rachel Reeves Me for @indyvoices on some astonishing events. independent.co.uk/voices/rachel-…

WTF? Another hypo which just came out of nowhere. It's not even that hot (although approaching my limit). Thing with type 1 diabetes, it really does just like to mess with, for the pure hell of it. Am I right Jonsel? You good today? #GBDoc

His performance in Reservoir Dogs remains one of the most frightening things you'll see on film. Sad news.

Monday’s always look better when one’s editor requests a piece you’re very keen to write 😁

Why, as a special needs parent, any changes to my child’s support frighten me. Explaining our nightmare SEND journey and grave concern over what the government has been saying, or not saying, for Independent Voices #SEND #DisabilityRebellion #Labour independent.co.uk/voices/send-sp…

Why using an insulin pen as a fidget spinner is a really really bad idea… #gbdoc
