Please don't let "Manchesterism" be the reason for sudden prevaricating over Heathrow. We can't pivot to not expanding our only Hub Airport because of a belief it will deny regional airports traffic. We have had this debate about 5 times in the past 20 yrs. LHR competes with Schipol and Dubai.

There is a contradiction at the heart of social care We entrust workers with those we love most and expect patience, compassion and enormous responsibility. Yet as a society, we are totally resistant to paying properly for it We say care is priceless; We fund it as though it's worth almost nothing

When I am back home i often have a coffee by the Billy Boston statue. I think his story and bizarrely the Shreds podcast on the murder of Lynette White (and subsequent stitch up) did more to make me question the Cardiff i grew up in than anything else. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

I’m on a small-ship Alaska cruise with my son; our boat rescued a stranded vessel last night and apparently we did that after the Coast Guard radioed Mark Zuckerberg’s yacht - which was closer - and they repeatedly refused to respond. (There was near unanimous booing when the captain announced this)

I think we keep judging populists by non-populist logic. If he owns the narrative, and he frames the by election as a battle against the establishment and he wins.... Who gives AF about what process the establishment does next.?

I think the test should be did you grow up knowing what it felt to truly have no money? That's what is imprinted in your psyche I hate Labour selections for the perfornative working class battles Just ask the candidates do you know what its like to live in a house where towels are always damp

I devoured classic novels as a teenager. In a world of distractions, can I relearn how to read them?
In less than a decade, surrounded by screens, I lost my ability to read some of the best books ever written. But, inspired by the Guardian’s 100 best novels list, I was determined to get it back

My starting point on #edmiliband I used to play a weekly squash game with a Cameron SpAd in 2013-15 He said at the start of focus groups they'd put up an image of party leaders On Ed's, every time, the room would start laughing Luckily the world is a less cruel and superficial place today....

We've had all the results in yet from West Sussex (looking at you Crawely!) but so far, we have gone from a sea of blue with the odd splash of colour through to a complete patchwork! Labour, Lib Dem and Greens have all lost AND gained divisions. Reform gained some. Tories lost plenty. 1/2
