I tried the popular 30/30/30 morning routine – and was left sadder, wiser and nauseated | Emma Beddington That’s 30g of protein within half an hour of waking, then a spot of “low-intensity” cardio. Doesn’t sound so bad, does it? Don’t be fooled

I am also more into the "40/90/10 routine: 40 minutes of horizontal denial, 90 minutes of doomscrolling, then saying: “Right!” loudly 10 times until I shame myself into the shower." that Emma Beddington describes at the @theguardian.com

An insanely overheated housing market is (obviously) driving up poverty and inequality in the UK. Major increases in social housing supply must form the core of an effective policy response. Housing costs are making people angry and we know where that can end up.
