Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

Caveat, the poll still live But *sighs Who'd be in politics with an electorate that's so determined not to inform itself that the sky isn't green, as they've been told by ppl and orgs with absolutely no skin in the green-sky game - honest gov

This has really pissed me off, if you're in the area and can afford it go and give the cafe owner some money to help fund the kids meals. And if he refuses buy yourself a nice coffee and tip him as much as you can. Fuck Reform taking food from kids in need. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

It’s also JUST a film just like any other film, some people will like it so will hate it some will just enjoy it for what it is - a film, a night out pure entertainment it’s not real just like the Crown wasn’t real or Dunkirk or fiction like Star Wars it’s a group of people’s own interpretation

I've never seen a pic of Burnham's partner and now realise I don't know if he has any children I'm not politics obsessive (I see you all out there), but I am over the subject and ... this feels like a good thing

Got reminded about this photo today. It might look mundane, but it’s so not , it’s something i think we never cherished the way we should’ve while we still had it: the world before war. Mariupol, Ukraine, before Russia invaded and bombed it Photo: victoriyaruf/threads

My 13yo wants to get a little job Suggested he volunteer until hes 14 bc of restrictions Turns out an employer must apply for a permit with approval from me and school. So if he wants to volunteer over the summer - he can't. Or the 'employer' falls foul of regs Initiative just died in this house

Steve Hoffstetter on the Belgian match...

She's got until 10pm to change her mind then I'm having it It was purchased understanding that this would probably be the end result but this way I look like I'm making the best of a bad purchase rather than buying doggy accessories just for me

I understand, when asked, Bellingham contradicted advice from education chiefs about kids skipping school I've yet to hear anyone ask him or any of the other players for their thoughts on the increase in domestic violence if England win or lose Anyone? womensaid.org.uk/get-involved...

Browsing a cookbook and noting down page numbers for meals next week and found Page 94 appearing in my head in the voice of @andrewhunterm.bsky.social @privateeyenews.bsky.social Feeling ambushed by my own brain

Have just spent a convoluted half hour looking for a fab thrifty marmalade recipe that @sturdyalex.bsky.social posted on The Other Site in *shudders* April 2020 On leaving the site I screenshotted the recipe but when? Lots of scrolling from 2020 forward to .... Nov 24 Pity our future archivists

Interview on R4 today with a parent around is school working for kids She suggests there's too much focus on exams and schools should teach more life skills While I agree the education system doesn't work for everyone, I have to ask, as a parent of teen boys, what do you think parenting is?

Catching up on listening. Obvs almost all commentary is around Burnham's coronation I get that in the jostle for positions in a new govt, no one wants to piss off the new boss but is there sense in some patsy standing against him in return for a position in order to validate the enthronement?

Listening to PM on R4 about how firefighters are dealing with wildfire in Derbyshire At the mention of firebreaks, I hear AC/DC Thunderstruck intro Best movie character intro track ever Yes I'm talking Planes 2 Yes I'm a 53yo woman

I agree with the commentary that Starmer started badly and got worse with his cor, shit ain't it followed by the winter fuel disaster I'd like to see a message of unity from Burnham Something for every headline writer Perhaps... 1/2

@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social This was going to be an amusing snap of Reggie, my charge for today, deciding to sit on my lap while I read But it's too hot for snaps, spaniels and now reading

Got in the shower to cool down and remembered just in time Cool not cold, kids

An exciting and unexpected consequence of excessive heat My neighbours LPG tank was recently filled. The contents have now expanded, blown a valve and gas is escaping It's OK, we weren't planning to light a bbq or woodburner tonight

Road tax based on the weight of your vehicle and the height of the child-crushing front grill With extra charges for those cars whose windows are so high, no one in a standard car can safely pull out of a car park space

They've finally run out of toffs to stand as PM, your name has been pulled from the hat, what's your one (1) manifesto pledge? Let's assume UBI, PR & tax/eat the rich are standard. I want your petty policies, your extremely personal grudges, your old man yells at cloud laws
