The GOAT.

Just absolutely ridiculous.

Incredible example of the cost of things in the UK v Europe here.

£340 a ticket for WWE Raw in Birmingham this August.

Me and @thegibshow.bsky.social got TWO tickets for Raw AND the Clash in Paris PPV for £430.

Unsustainable and ridiculous 🤯

My cat got so hooked on cheap kibble she totally stopped eating wet food or even drinking water.

This led to an emergency vet trip where we were told she had life-threatening constipation and a bill for several thousand pounds to help her poop and recover.

Feel your pain (and love!)

Devil in the detail, but these changes could be very powerful.

In many CA areas, health inequality and economic performance are closely linked and there's scope to do amazing things to address at this level of scale.

I first asked for this power in 2017! Delighted to see it in here.

Bullets 1 and 3 of this will be great news for those CAs who were forward thinking on this - especially GM and Liverpool.

This feels like small fry stuff, but there's a lot of good jobs to unlock and real local appetite.

Not an overstatement to say that bullets 1, 2 and 4 of this section - in combination - are the biggest transfer of executive power in decades. Both up and down the chain.

Bigger than Devo itself IMO.

A fundamental redrawing of how we do planning in England

My first thought was this 🤯

The bit in here about employment support will be lost, but is brilliant.

My teams did outstanding work on this, but relied on time-limited budgets which made integration with AEB complex.

Really pleased this is here, and hope JCP control follows.

This is a massive change in emphasis.

So big we NEVER asked for it because we just would never have got agreement from our constituent LAs.

That said, it feels really important - horse trading and exceptionalism gummed up every single day.

This incentivises everyone to get things done.

Saw Sigur rós and the Elja Orchestra at the Harpa concert hall in Reykjavík last night.

Pure wish fulfilment. A magical, once in a lifetime dream of an evening.

Understand it’s the done thing to introduce your cat on here.

So here is Flora! #ProofofCat
