Pensioners have earned their rest. But if we have to decide how to spend 10.5 billion, I'd rather us build some new hospitals to keep the elderly healthier for longer rather than giving out free money, or ensure their grandkids can learn in schools with roofs that don't leak.

Personally, free money from the Government is a good thing and we should do more of it in the form of a universal basic income funded by a land value tax. This would do far more to fix inequality in the UK than giving ยฃ10.5 billion in unfunded cash handouts.

Like, it's made quite clear that the state pension is a benefit. It's not a right and never should be treated as such. It's a benefit with one purpose: to prevent pensioner poverty. It is not a replacement for financial planning, it's to ensure that retirees aren't freezing or not eating.

I think I'd rather spend ยฃ10.5 Billion on fixing Britain's schools, building new hospitals, repairing the roads, or a whole host of better uses for public money than giving ~3K pp to the most looked-after generation in British history.

Sorry but this is a campaign I cannot agree with.

Flipping off the TERF franchise at London Kings Cross

Flipping off the TERF franchise at London Kings Cross

It's basically obligatory if you're going through Kings-X

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.

Mainstream media: nothing

Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes.

Mainstream media: nothing.

This is what extreme media bias looks like.

Whilst it is great that @eddavey.libdems.org.uk showed up, I am very frustrated that @libdems.org.uk Comms have once again decided that trans issues aren't worthy of shouting about.

I have decided that covering Year 8 performing Arts should be either classified as hazardous working and earn me extra pay, or be banned as form of torture under the Geneva Conventions.

We've had to beg a replacement kettle from Food Tech. This is bad.

It's all going wrong in the maths department today

- THE KETTLE IS DEAD
- THE PRINTER IS DEAD
- MY COFFEE CUP HAS VANISHED INTO THE ETHER
- THERE IS TOO MUCH FOOD

A classroom tool designed to model the motion of the planets around Sol is not relevant to a public policy matter.

I know what an orrery is I just don't see why it's relevant to a discussion on twice yearly changing the clocks to give more light in the morning and ensure that schoolchildren aren't going to school in the dark and people are safer travelling to work.

This is utter rubbish and I have no idea why anyone at HQ thought that this was a good idea. We have so much more to talk about that's more valuable to Ed's time.

This is a cross party statement in solidarity with @greenpartyhan.bsky.social after what happened this weekend.

Thanks to all the LGBT and Feminist organisations within all the respective parties for signing this, and it was amazing working with you all.

I don't understand what you are saying? Children shouldn't have to walk to school in the dark?

Isn't the whole point of it in the UK to ensure that there's enough daylight in the mornings for people to get to work safely and for kids to get to school safely?

In retrospect this race wasn't worth waking up at 0355. I'm going back to bed.

That was basically the entirety of the excitement. The Charles - George battle was decent but I don't think coverage showed us any other battles.

I'm mostly disappointed for our Williams boys. If this continues I reckon Sainz will walk at the end of this season ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

FW48 is clearly a shitbox and last year was the anomaly and not the start of something good. Sad Weeyums Noises from the Tara-Cambria residence this morning.

It's so over ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Mahmoud might be the Home Secretary I have ever despised the most. At least the Tory versions were honest about their nastiness, Mahmoud is just a awful hypocrite of a woman who has turned her back on civil liberties, free movement and right to protest. Awful awful woman.

Huge congratulations from one progressive to another, this is the result that could turn the country around. Labour needed a good kicking and it needed to be from the Greens. Congrats to Manchester Greens!

I am still in bed because I am waiting on a very important email. Waiting mode sucks. I can't do anything to meaningfully pass the time. Can't focus on my book. Can't bring myself to watch a movie. Haven't managed to eat anything.

This sucks.
