“All those detentions… I would. like to say thank you!” 😂 Our kids get it, even if the rest of the world doesn’t!

Results like these are transformative for the lives of so many children who now have opportunities and choices that their peers in most schools will never have. It is an astonishing and sustained achievement that serves as an inspiration to the rest of us.

80s Sundays. What else would you add to this?

This is Fiona. My bestest friend of FORTY FIVE YEARS. We met at primary school in Newcastle when we were both 7yo. She is, without a doubt, the greatest thing to ever have happened in my life. We've never had a fall out. Not once. Fiona has been there for me through thick and

£550 shelled out on a mandatory career exam, my bank asked me to pause and think: “could this be a scam?” 🤔

The Chancellor’s attempt to blame her economic inheritance on her decision to raise taxes - tax rises she had always planned - will not wash with the public. Reeves and Starmer have spent weeks talking down the economy, whilst simultaneously handing over billions in inflation

Just reviewed the loveliest man with severe dementia. “I’m aware that I don’t make sense to people, but I do the best that I can”.

I detest smoking. It's an awful habit, terrible for your health and I urge anyone to quit. But. At some stage, we have to trust people to make their own decisions. If we banned any harmful habit, we'd be living very boring lives. Where do we draw the line? Alcohol? Unhealthy

What a pathetic, petty minded little man Keir Starmer is - removing a picture of the first female Prime Minister and one of the longest serving Prime Ministers. Maybe he doesn’t want to be reminded of a towering politician he could never live up to. thelondoneconomic.com/politics/starm…

“Anyone who dares to take a risk and make a capital gain will be dealt with swiftly with a likely prison sentence as a deterrent to anyone else who who tries to provide for themselves rather than relying on the state”

This is why Kier Starmer removed Margaret Thatcher’s picture, he couldn’t handle the truth looking at him.

“The Labour MP also admitted that his flats did not have the correct property licences under a scheme he introduced as the leader of Redbridge Council.” People like this completely undermine trust in politics. He should resign as a councillor immediately. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Ugly moment in the Putintseva vs Paolini match at the US Open. The ball girl tries tossing the ball and Yulia watches it bounce on the ground without moving. So many ball kids look up to these athletes. Let's try to treat them kinder. (via Meredith Thompson)

I’ve heard some tripe in my time but the Government saying they needed to remove the Winter Fuel Payment from millions of pensioners to avoid a run on the pound tops the charts! Amazing how massive pay rises for train drivers et al doesn’t affect the £ but maintaining WFP does.

A serious question for anyone who is in politics and knows the answer: why do our politicians (this is party-agnostic, this subject is just the latest in a long line) now seem incapable of distinguishing between issues that require their attention and those that definitely don't?

Stop sharing this video of my accidentally calling Rishi Sunak the Prime Minister 5 times!! It’s so embarrassing.

Scrapping pensioners £1.4bn Winter Fuel Allowance instead of spending a bit less on overseas climate aid is a choice. Releasing thousands of prisoners early instead of deporting 10,000 foreign national prisoners is a choice. Neither can ever be justified. Never forget.

I missed the language shift from illegal immigration to irregular immigration. When did that happen?

Salary just the start. Think of the pension....Keir Starmer's top aide Sue Gray paid more than the PM - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
