Amazing news that 16- and 17-year-olds will be able to vote in the next #GeneralElection!

But, already loads of vile comments piling in (see screenshots) — *this* is what adults in our society think about young people’s capacities & competence — makes me furious! 🤬

Written statements - Written questions, answers and statements - UK Parliament Information from UK Parliament on written questions & answers, written statements and daily reports.

Interesting to see Government bringing forward legislation to abolish the #LocalGov committee system, instead in favour of the Leader and Cabinet system (and preferring Mayors only for regional government as part of further devolution plans).

#Viva passed today, and have been awarded my #PhD "subject to the completion of editorial, presentational and minor corrections".

That's it. That's the post. 🥳

Screenshot with a picture of a smiling nurse and child in hospital. Text: Children and families help share future care. Posted Thursday, 22nd May by Hannah Crouch. Parents have said that they feel their children have been well-cared for in our hospitals, with the majority saying that they are treated with dignity and respect by staff.

In 2020 just 47% of children felt involved in decisions about their care in hospital.
In 2024 this increased to:
🔹 81% aged 8–11
🔹 87% aged 12–15
Still work to do, but this is a HUGE step in the right direction!

Now #TheTraitors has ended... so has my incessant posting on here! 'Normal' posting to be resumed...

Ok, so Frankie could reveal all, or could keep it from the group until the end… then win the cash?

And/Or Charlotte could try and maintain she’s a faithful, and Frankie’s a lying Traitor?

OOFT this is good.

#TheTraitors

OMG.

She’s gone with Charlotte.

This is WILD.

#TheTraitors

Alexander or Charlotte…

Both make good choices.

#TheTraitors

Logically, Freddie (a traitor) voted for Charlotte — so it would surely, objectively, be logical?

#TheTraitors

Not fully sure I get how the Seer mechanics work…

But I’m here for it

#TheTraitors

And it’s BIG. Has Freddie just transparently thrown Charlotte under the bus?

#TheTraitors

Freddie’s out. But if he votes for Charlotte, that’ll be BIG.

#TheTraitors

Freddie’s just screwed himself.

Superb work from Frankie for getting that out on the table!

#TheTraitors

Will Freddie and Charlotte inadvertently reveal each other?

#TheTraitors

Alexander’s reason for supporting Frankie is sound — i.e. giving the person he trusts the most the power to learn he, too, is faithful.

Bless him.

#TheTraitors

Honestly Claudia is brilliant

#TheTraitors

What if they banish the person who is the Seer?

#TheTraitors

Biggest risk here is Freddie and Charlotte voting squarely for each other.

#TheTraitors

Aww Alexander and Frankie’s friendship is super cute

#Frankander

#TheTraitors

Frankie, Freddie or Leanne as Seer … surely?

#TheTraitors

Oh Alexander… helping Frankie.

Bless his cottons

#TheTraitors

Love how much Freddie hates dolls #TheTraitors

A traitor could reveal a faithful and claim (truthfully) that the person said they were a faithful, therefore implying both are faithful.

The identity of The Seer not being secret changes things a bit, but since traitors can be The Seer that means the ability for traitors to lie about their reveal is retained. #TheTraitors

These challenges are actually hilar

#TheTraitors

Not sure I understand how the Seer power works though…

Like, will everyone know who gets the power? Surely not?
