- A 100,000 drop in net migration costs us £7bn
- Scrapping the two-child benefit cap costs us £3bn

I remember Meera Syal saying on a tv chat show about twenty bleeding years ago about the lack of representation of poc on tv particularly in advertising. It’s taken this long to finally see a fair balance so that stupid women and others like her should just shut the fuck up.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

This is the thing when you’re pro-humanity…
Every death stings
Even those who spent their lives sowing division
Because our goal is always a better world
For everyone
…and every life lost is a sad reminder of how incredibly far we still have to go.

Graham Linehan once took issue with a sketch I did and tweeted about me referring to me not by name but only as to who my boyfriend was and called me an NPC ( non player character.) It was misogynistic and his “standing up for women” schtick is baloney.
