i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

People must see this, as the mainstream media are failing to report the real story here. Please share widely.

Sure Start was, imho as a service user 15 years ago, the best thing the last Labour governments did. Shamelessly and shamefully disbanded and defunded by the Tories in 2010- because the right wing don’t believe in levelling opportunities.
By age 5, children from the poorest families are already behind their wealthier peers – educationally, socially, even in health. Sure Start was designed to break this cycle. It worked. Now it may be coming back. Here’s what we know ⤵️

Sure Start: Tackling inequality in the early years to transform lives
The government’s ‘Best Start Family Hubs’ are reviving one of the most successful initiatives of New Labour. But will it work this time?

You know how we have "single-issue voters?"

I think we have "single-issue progressives."

Like, progressive bros who only want to advance one issue, but otherwise have no encompassing value system behind their politics.

Self-righteously willing to throw 99% of progress away for 1 hill to die on. 🧵

#wildflowerhour The cliffs in Devon are wonderful at the moment, so many shades of Thrift, alongside Bladder Campion, Tormentil, sweet little Squil, Foxgloves and Bluebells, it’s stunning, great birds too.

So it’s kind of the government to give us a list of US products to avoid to support Ukraine and common decency, assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/67ee66... but it’s mostly weird stuff that I wasn’t going to buy anyway. What products should we boycott??

For Americans who didn’t get the joy of living through the Truss/Kwarteng budget, this is the point where the government starts to call the stock market left-wing and/or woke.
