4.3 million children are in poverty

UK govt won’t see progress on child poverty by 2029 even with high economic growth 📢

Our analysis shows under our central scenario only Scotland will see child poverty rates fall by 2029 in part due to social security policies 1/5

Today was millions of emails I’ve been ignoring for too long and my head jumping from one thing to another and a necessary, messy kind of busy. I needed something to clean my brain of the million little things, and my playlist delivered this. Thanks, playlist!

Liz Thomson, Scotland advocacy manager for @amnestyuk.bsky.social, said that it was time to “lift the veil on groups who seek to divide and conquer, and remind people that democracy itself is at risk, as well as the wonderful diverse space that Scotland is”

I’ve owned this book many times, and then loaned it or lost it in house moves. I had a hankering to reread it over Christmas so sent off for a second hand hardback copy. It’s finally here. Feel nostalgic and I’d talk about memory road, but road chat doesn’t feel at all appropriate.

We all really do need to get off X now. I mean, he’s doing this for attention and I’m giving him attention, and that makes me feel squeamish. But at least I’m not continuing to legitimise his social media platform so that’s something.
Elon Musk has changed his X profile.

His avatar is now Pepe the Frog, a mascot adopted by white supremacists.

His name is a Latinisation of “Kek”, a phrase used by neo-Nazis.

Musk has also backed AfD in Germany, the political home for racists.

The man is telling us explicitly what he’s about.

One broken collarbone, and one boy slightly cheered by the news he’s not going to be going back to school before Christmas. Two parents counting our blessings yet again for bike helmets and the NHS.

We really are so fortunate.

For those 90’s Glasgow Uni pals who may be wondering, it’s still basically the same old lovely dingy dive it always was. The lavs are entirely unchanged. I’d post a photo but I don’t think taking pictures in the toilets is encouraged, so you’ll just have to take my word for it.
