Smug.

When you find yourself somewhat mesmerised by @scaramucci.bsky.social an excellent speaker, humorous and self deprecating of course, but more than that, insightful on personal resilience and hopeful for a post-Trump world.

😳

It’s a hard life.

Here's a run down of how many U.S. allies died fighting with America in Afghanistan, with an adjustment for population size.

When your dog is 11 on Friday and you’ve left it too late to order the bespoke birthday dog biscuits. Will she forgive me if I get the dog equivalent of a Colin the Caterpillar?

It was totally splendid. It’s always worth going for a wander around the city to see what’s down the little side streets.

The NHS is in crisis. We support extra investment to help turn it around, but without fixing social care, no amount of funding will solve the problem.

I urge the Prime Minister to ensure the Spending Review finally delivers for social care and family carers.

I deliberately chose a washing machine that doesn’t have an app. If I have to put the washing in and take it out, how does it add value to have to control it from my phone 🤷‍♀️

A fabulous dinner at the Worshipful Company of Innholders last night courtesy of @hgwdavie.bsky.social fascinating to see what is down the side streets in the city of London.

New research provides conclusive proof that 20mph in London is saving lives.

14 yrs of analysis at 150+ sites - reviewed by experts - shows:

❤️40% fewer deaths (vs 7% drop on roads where no changes were made)
❤️75% fewer children killed & 50% fewer kids hurt

And slower speeds deliver so much more:

“Sculptural earrings”, yes, that’s just what it needs.

Grasping at straws 😂

Perhaps pre-amendments? 🫣

How am I meant to sleep with memes like this popping up on my feed??

this is what it took to get the Democrats to make a good post

Tens of thousands of households could lose three benefits at same time Tens of thousands of disabled households could face a “triple hit” of benefit cuts from Labour due to their impact on carer’s allowance.

NEW: Tens of thousands of disabled households could face a “triple hit” of benefit cuts due to the impact on Carer’s Allowance

DWP figures show 95,000 unpaid carers stand to lose PIP - and for some the impact could be even worse

By me, for the Big Issue

They’re back (briefly) with a teaser for part 2 of walking with the jocks.

Congratulations Waitman

It’s interesting, my partner and I are a similar height, it’s nice to be able to look someone directly in the eye. If there are women who want a (very) tall man they’re missing out.

He showed it at the end, so touching ❤️.

It was fascinating Vicky. He sounds like an amazing man whose family at last know of his experiences and achievements.

Existential crisis for us all then.

I have immigrant great grandparents. What does this make me?

Today I highlighted James' story: a Glastonbury & Somerton resident with dementia who is stuck in hospital, scared & isolated. His family wants him home, but social care barriers in #Somerset are in the way. I called on the Govt to ensure people with dementia can live at home with dignity.
