I dare say you could find a PIP claimant who’s abusing the system.. just as you could find one Reform politician who’s paying all the tax they should. #bbcbh

Thames Water gave finance chief a £1m signing-on fee

I firmly believe that if women were in charge in Afghanistan and what was happening now to women & girls under the Taliban was happening to men & boys - well it wouldn't because the rest of the world would've found a way to stop it.

The Trump and the Kushners have lives devoid of simple pleasures. Events and experiences are merely opportunities to make money. Kushner will never know the joy of, say, an injury time winning goal totally against the run of play. Well done, UEFA.
Not every immigrant to Europe is a Kylian Mbappe or Bukayo Saka but the vast majority contribute to society - doctors, cleaners, carers, nurses, teachers etc. A truth that I wish more politicians would acknowledge.
On the importance of what we feed AI. That's why companies that do try get their hands on as much information as possible. On the best information possible. And all that once came from our minds. Which shows our brains are cleverer than AI, it's just good at summing us up. #GoodMorning, everyone
