It could be me but a lot of children's TV used to have an element of threat. The original Doctor Who had it and programmes like The Owl Service. Even Oliver Postgate's voice was a creeping omen of doom. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/474...

Republicans have manufactured a crisis in women’s sports, just in time for the midterm elections. Democrats should find the courage to defend trans children—or at the very least, leave them alone.

Okay what exactly have we "saved" on the triple lock. I may have misunderstood but the figures we are "saving" to reinvest is a projection we might have spent assuming certain factors. But instead of finding the money for that we are now going to have to find the money for something else.
