Interesting to hear Marie Le Conte talk about Vienna's chocolate box appearance feeling 'unsettling' on the latest Oh God, What Now? – the politics podcast. Totally agree. Amazing cake, but very strange place. I have a love/hate relationship with it.

It is baffling that our approach to regeneration is always about aesthetics and never about functioning buildings. Invest, repair, restore and this place *works*. We have endless issues with our new builds, particularly damp and cracking concrete.

I really regret going back to work repeatedly when I was too mentally ill to do so and then letting colleagues down, often in a very messy and last minute fashion. I was desperate to be well and back working effectively but funnily enough my recovery was not linear and I couldn’t…

In response to Pippa’s pertinent question, I’m going to take a stab and wildly guess that the answer is “no, not through the nhs”

Here we go again. 'Maybe they should get treatment instead of benefits'

1. It's not either or

The hours carers on carers allowance can work on Nat Min/Living Wage have fallen from 16h51m to 13h11m. Almost every year they have had to cut the hours they work to meet the earnings threshold or lose their benefit completely.
