In the UK we're not far off having a generation who are still paying their own student finance, whilst also becoming liable for some of their children's costs...

If your defence against being called racist is to invoke Bernard Manning as YOUR DEFENCE, then you really are a racist fuckwit

It's not that Farage was racist 50 years ago, it's that he is clearly lying about his past patterns of behaviours. It wasn't a one off that was forgettable for him but memorable for the victim, it was a regular occurrence. He simply isn't credible & this Trumpian attempt to brush it off won't work.
They asked him, “What are your memories of Nigel Farage?”

The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs
This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

Tells you everything you need to know about why I won't ever be voting Labour whilst the current crop of MPs form it's ideological core. I am horrified at what Labour has become.
Labour’s policy on immigration is being cheered on by Tommy Robinson.
Discussing that on @lbc.co.uk at 3pm!

EVEN IF they address the two child cap at the next budget that was a DAY ONE priority for me. Same with changing the ideological tune on asylum, immigration, and trans-rights. They've had their chances, they've squandered them and will never get my vote. Green possibly Lib Dem for me now.
100% never voting for Labour so long as the current crop of MPs form it's ideological core. I am pro immigrants and asylum seekers being able to settle here without burdensome financial and legal hurdles. I'm anti-child poverty, and pro-trans rights. Fuck Labour.

The Ukrainian war is costing the UK an absolute fortune ~£2.5bn per year in grants etc, which is roughly the same as the entire budget of the Department of Culture, Media and Sport...

AI is great for helping capture, organise and sometimes edit thoughts, I use it ALL THE TIME for this type of activity. Sometimes it can make helpful suggestions for key literature FOR ME TO READ but the original thoughts are always mine and I am driving the direction.
Getting nervous for the talk I'm about to give at a workshop about "using AI to drive impact" which features slides such as these.

I still can't get over just HOW MUCH MONEY the new Rosalía track Berghain must have cost to produce... It's got a whole symphony orchestra AND choir on it... Playing new material, which isn't particularly easy to play 🤯

Listening to Rachel Reeves reminds me why The Greens are actually doing so well. There's no sense of hope in anything she says... It feels more like desperation from someone who knows they've made a monumentally strategic error by over promising and under-delivering www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Could Rachel Reeves break a 50-year taboo by raising income tax in her Budget?
It is more than half a century since a chancellor chose to put up the basic rate of income tax.

It's actually quite useful to know that you have a sub 10% chance of getting a grant with some ESRC/AHRC... It's not about you, we are all broadly capable of writing "good" grants, it's just the system is so highly competitive it's very hard to get them first time round.

Nothing screams inequality quite like spending £180k PER YEAR on a tutor for your 1 year old (you can buy a small house for this in the the cheaper parts of Greater Manchester), whilst other people face unexpected bills and have to choose between food, heating, or rent...

Jenrick now saying he would "probably ban the burka" is absolutely ridiculous. Every woman I have spoken to who wears one does so ENTIRELY out of her own volition - and for the record they've all been far more socially liberal than Jenrick. We should not be policing the styles of people's clothing.
