John Podmore That’s a very simplistic view. I wondered how long it would be before probation was blamed for the prison crisis. Have a read of Hazel Kemshall about risk and people committing what are perceived as minor breaches! The public expects public protection.

I accidentally told my boss I loved him while getting off the phone so if anyone needs me I’ll be walking directly into the ocean.

Man with a beard competes in women’s surf contest to highlight the utter insanity of males in the F category. 👏Organisers come up w stupid nonsense excuse to DQ him since obviously being male is no reason to DQ him. Naturally, the TRAs are cross about it. #SaveWomensSports

I rage about colleagues like the best of them, but blaming the ills of the world on "Bureaucracy" and "Lazy Civil Servants" just marks you out as an idiot, frankly. I know it's not that complicated selling carpets, or double glazing, but that is *a different thing*

X, I can confirm I’ve just walked straight past my gym to buy chocolate, Pringles and red wine. New year is going great guns

This is beyond 🤦🏼‍♀️. But what I find most crazy is the sentence... A probation officer has to have FIFTEEN separate sessions with this person. Fifteen! Plus she gets an alcohol tag and fine. Is this really how we want to use limited probation resources? metro.co.uk/2025/01/29/wom…

Train comes to a stop with door where I am standing. Everyone comes and stands behind me apart from one bloke who walks over and stands right in front of me so he can get on first. He then gets on the train and is visibly annoyed I sit opposite him in my reserved seat. LOLs 😂

It must be incredibly difficult to be a proud American today

The only winner from today’s Oval Office debacle is Vladimir Putin… and anyone who thinks that is a good thing for the world is stunningly deluded.

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

The best response to a bully is to stand up to them. The best thing for Europe and the UK to do is to step up, fund our security properly ( not with Treasury tricks and spin) and be prepared to use all means possible to ensure Putin fails in Ukraine. 1/2

Appalling behaviour from the supposed Commander in Chief. Shame on America today. #SlavaUkraïni

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?" It reflects on the grotesque disrespectful media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський 🇺🇦 #SlavaUkraini #Dontabandonthem

Will need 3-5 business days to recover from #Adolescence.

The Gov should cut the Civil Service. But to do that it needs to: 1.Change CS policies so it’s easier to let go of underperforming staff 2.Expect less - you cut policy teams you’ll get less quick briefs. 3. Invest in AI and digital tools 4. Change the culture /endless governance

Can someone explain to me why BBC News (UK) are live streaming with commentary outside the Principality Stadium for the Oasis gig? Who is watching such pointless drivel? How is that news? The commentators can’t even see inside FFS!
