I am far from well off, and It’s almost nothing but I would be happy to pay a lot more than this knowing that over 1m children will be lifted out of poverty or live in less poverty.
It’s the absolute basics of a civilised society. Those of us who can should be paying more for this

#COP30 is on. Many experts say just a few years to halt climate catastrophe. Others predict a 3° rise by 2050 which basically means can’t grow much food & much of the planet inhabitable
Yet some carbon funded politicians want us to argue over culture wars or similar 🤷🏻♀️🧐

A new chapter for the BBC. Whoever comes next I hope they re-invigorate BBC local radio and regional broadcasting.
That’s where so much real connection with audiences was. Being part of local areas and visible. Having the resources to fully know the patch and be a major part of them.

#BDisLit last night was utterly fantastic.
@bradford2025 has smashed it this year - proving what so many of us have argued for years. That culture can be the thing that regenerates and transforms
And it makes us happy as the smiles and joy last night shows. Win wins.

I’ve supported universal basic income as long as I can remember
Mid 90s- I did the Political Slot on @Channel4 for @TheGreenParty. I chose to do it on UBI. I had to practice saying “basic PAUSE income” cos no one knew what it was and could think I was saying “base king come”

Billie Eilish is so right. No one needs to be a billionaire
Somehow western societies have accepted that more more more is not just OK but what we should aspire to and it’s a disaster if not. We don’t always need more.
Because it’s destroying societies and killing our planet

Genuinely, I’m not sure I can claim to speak read and write English to A Level standard.
My mother once tried to teach me some Latin. She gave up because she said I didn’t understand English grammar enough.

Proper upset about #JillyCooper. My fav writer. I read all The Rutshire chronicles from start to finish every few years and they never tire. That’s because she brings a person alive on the page better than anyone

I am one of the most positive people I know of. I believe people are good. I truly believe there’s nothing funny about peace, love and understanding.
But these days my despair is way more regularly overwhelming than even I can easily cope with.

Yesterday one of, if not the biggest investment into communities in England was announced. Over 200 communities will get £20m to spend on their areas over 10 years. Pride of Place is fantastic news
But media more interested in discussing immigration, Reform & Westminster stories
