Sky News says police are "overwhelmed by the numbers". Met coped perfectly well with 2x as many at the pro-Gaza rally, 5x as many at the anti-Brexit march, and 15x as many at London Pride.
They're not overwhelmed by the numbers. They're overwhelmed by the ratio of violent thugs in those numbers.

Incomparable is a word used too easily when someone dies but there isn’t anyone else to whom Tom Lehrer, who has died aged 97, could be compared (apart from to say that compared to Lehrer they were rubbish). Iconoclast, wit, verbal Gymnast, terrific musician. RIP.

Surely if you had all the money in the world, the job would actually be quite easy?
I wouldn't be Chancellor for all the money in the world. Incredibly tough job. Impossible ask. Especially over the last decade.

Our hospitals, schools, councils, childcare, public transport and social security have been decimated after a decade of cuts.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
The Government could find the money to support public services by taxing the very richest more.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

About half of the government's problems would disappear if they had a proper communications machinery, and knew how to use it. Their comms are absolutely amateur for a government with such a whopping majority.

Blue Monday is a piece of crap pseudo science originally part of a travel company's press release to sell holidays.
Can we all try to avoid rewarding marketeers, using this term, which tries to sell goods by parasiting on the back of real mental health campaigns.

Sterling close to its highest value against the Euro since the Brexit referendum. Markets appear to be rewarding the prospect of long term British political stability. Not something you’ve been able to say for a while.

Starter packs are great— but do take the time to:
1) Look up fav influencers and hunt in their followers to find your friends.
2) follow back (as much as reasonable)
3) Engage in conversations
