Benefit cuts with a red rosette are in many ways no different than those stained in blue. Joints still throb when the heating has to be switched off in winter. Stomachs still pang with hunger when there is only a biscuit for tea. And yet cuts signed off by a Labour Chancellor are in a sense particularly brutal. They come with a tinge, not just of fear, but despair and betrayal. The feeling that if this is life under the “good guys”, there really is no hope that anything will get better. Politicians, it turns out, really are all the same. That is the sort of loss that can’t be measured by a Treasury spreadsheet. It is also one that - once lost - is deeply hard to get back.

Really enjoyed the #InjectingHope Exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland today. Would really recommend.

I made my dog a birthday cake tonight. At a guess, I’d say it’s been about 5 years since I last made a cake for a human. I suppose that sums up my priorities.

I finished reading #sophiefromromania today. At so many points, it reminded me of my own journey with my little anxious dog, who continues to teach me so much about patience. Thank you for your raw honesty @rorycj.bsky.social
