Yeah, I've had a month to stew over the disappointment of closing Jam in the Hackney location but I've decided to try to use the anger to do cool stuff.

Er... remind me who has been in government for last 14 years

Finally finished Detectorists. I’ve enjoyed lots of comedy series over the years but none have made my heart quite so full as this. Every second of it has been a huge, warm hug. This scene with Terry and Shiela absolutely killed me. A moment of simple joy and contentment. 😭

A key mistake I made running my bookshop jambookshopuk - Closed but not forgotten for the first 18 months was simply becoming overwhelmed by the pressures of the book industry, creators & the idea of an unforgiving public.
Burned myself out trying to please everyone but me.

Such a good, blisteringly honest article from Sam. Lots to unpack but in the final analysis every business owner needs to decide what sustainability means to them: and a big part of that is what day to day shopkeeping looks like so you'll still be here in five years time.

This time last year Rishi Sunak met 3 suicide-bereaved dads & assured them better mental health support was a priority for his government. Today he is sending thousands of vulnerable people into despair by threatening to strip them of the (already meagre) benefits they live on

What a scoop.

I dunno man, I reckon being asked to submit photographic evidence of concealed self-harm pretty 'rigorous'. An assessor enquiring how often you change you knickers, or 'why you haven't killed yourself' is some top grade rigour.

Tories genuinely hate the disabled.
I've seen it for over a decade while reporting on the constant battering that disabled people have faced.
This hero was a real guy from one protest.

It’s soul destroying that you have to tell the DWP you have to wear incontinence pads because of bowel and bladder accidents. That meds need to be supervised to stop you harming yourself due to suicide ideation. Your medical history trawled through and judged

If this doesn’t put it in perspective for you, nothing will.
