Probably too late to post this but my son is at Shake illustration and art fair with his work until 5 this evening. It’s at Shredenhams in Bristol, two quid to get in. He’s c.lockhart.ist on instagram if you want to check out his work.

Not going to lie, I would probably just carry on as normal, but my two young men - one excluded because of disability & one because of mental health - would actually be able to live & thrive.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

One thing to know about Magistrates is that the qualifications for becoming one are: 1) be aged between 18-74, 2) be literate, and 3) be ‘of good character’ (no previous convictions or bankruptcy)

Can't believe they're going to end trial by jury. It's one of our most fundamental rights. Literally Magna Carta stuff.

I'm hearing criticisms of the end to the two child limit, because it was done just to mollify Labour backbenchers, at a cost of £billions.
I remember another govt delivering a referendum on EU membership, just to mollify restive backbenchers. That's costing way, way more... A little perspective?
