£10 spent on benefits isn't just £10 lost, it's £10 that will then be spent on food, or rent which keeps circulating in the economy. £10 given to big businesses in a tax cut just ends up in a profit margin, or a millionaire shareholders pocket. Its likely never spent again.

The report doesn't claim ADHD and autism are being over-diagnosed. That's media misinterpretation. From the report… "On the basis of evidence available to us we cannot conclude that over-diagnosis is occurring at scale, particularly given the gaps in population prevalence data and data reporting."

Yeah. And it’s difficult to respond appropriately with kids in tow. I have to be very careful when my son is with me as he’s hugely impacted by Negative People (his name for them) who suck the joy out of events.

We had a chap who didn’t like that he thought we’d cut him up (unfamiliar roads meant we were in wrong lane at junction so indicated and slowly moved over when traffic allowed) = he repeatedly roared up V close behind, then overtook, swung in really sharply and slammed brakes on. Absolute twat.

I had feedback from a couple of customers last year who loved these designs which I sold as mini cards but they would have really liked them a bit larger. This time around I'm offering 2 versions - 9.5x9.5 or 12x12cm. You can see the difference below 😊 sarahrobinsondesigns.etsy.com/listing/4370...
This is a photo of some colourful cards which are digitally reproduced from my original linocuts. The 3 designs are laid out as shown by the 3 larger cards. The mini versions are packaged as a pack, tied together with twine, which is how I sell them all as a set.
They feature little sprigs of winter foliage - holly, fir and mistletoe.

Wise words from Steve...
A hand-drawn grayscale and blue-toned illustration of a cartoon otter named Steve standing at his desk in an office, wearing a scarf and name tag, and holding a steaming mug of coffee.  

All visible text in the image:  
Name tag on the otter’s chest: “Steve”  
Sticky note on the computer monitor: “Reschedule 3pm if you’d like”  
Tiny flag stuck to the top corner of the monitor: “We’re doing great”  
Logo in the bottom right corner: “in Ötter News”  

Main caption below the scene:  
“Do not seize the day. That only startles it, and nobody wants to deal with an aggressive day before coffee.  

Approach it slowly. Avoid eye contact. Maybe offer a polite nod. Act casual.  

If the day growls, starts making demands, or mentions shenanigans back away quietly and return to bed.”

You may be happy with the populist right attacking immigrants now, but their agenda is tax cuts and rolling back the welfare state. That means the crosshairs are going to land soon on the “undeserving poor” and your skin colour won’t save you or the ones you love.

We Own It @weownit.org.uk · 15/10/2026
The crisis at Royal Mail is completely man-made. Let's take it back into public ownership and reinvest parcel profits into hiring staff to deliver letters It would cost just 0.1% of the UK national debt to buy back Royal Mail
Screenshot of tweets that say 2Publicly owned Royal Mail delivered letters six days a week. After privatisation, bosses tripled their salaries and cut that to three days a week. Yes, it's our old friend 'the superior efficiency of the private sector'." and "Privatisation is always bullshit. Profit is just mandatory waste. It's stolen from the system to enrich the owners."

Case in point. Currently, having checked app & online FAQ which were not able to do what is needed, am in a queue where I’m repeatedly told I can do everything through the app or online AND they are “busier than usual, thanks for bearing with us” this is the third time I’ve tried to address issues!

Not in my experience. Even if you manage to wade through chatbots and FAQs then endure the interminable telephone queueing… the operative is usually disinterested or unable to help.
