Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

If the producers of Question Time wanted a true representation of political views across the spectrum they could have a panel of Starmer 2016, Starmer 2019, Starmer 2021, Starmer 2023 and Starmer 2025.

This remains imho the wrong strategy. Reform voters will always push for more. And Farage is justified when he keeps putting immigration at the centre of his campaign.
Labour needs to attack Farage where he is weak, instead of following his narratives.

Doomscrolling is a tautology. It’s now just called scrolling

Retirement in academia is where you stop doing the things you were paid for but carry on with the many things you were never paid for.
