Also, and huge comms failure, this could well be presented as good for pensioners. Am of an age where I have to plan out when I can retire and how far my pension will last. The spectre of "you might need an insane amount of cash late in life to pay for care" is one I'd gladly see the back of.

These anonymous MPs saying it's 'electoral suicide' to tinker with the triple lock. Exactly the type who got us into this mess: unwilling to lead, unwilling to recognise reality for fear of offending voters, unwilling to solve long-term problems if it presents the slightest short-term risk.

I sometimes wonder what planet I was on in 1975, the year I turned 18. The EU referendum took place exactly a week before my birthday but I have absolutely no recollection of it all even though most of my friends would have been voting for the first time. Obviously concentrating on my A levels 🤣.

I think it's fair enough for her to say sbe's not "English" and to assert her ancestral culture - I'm sure many others would too, as is their right - but it is not for her to take that decision out of the hands of others who feel differently.

How far back does she think you have to go, in order to establish your 'English' credentials? With each generation your antecedents multiply - 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents etc. If one of them was born in Scotland or Wales, does that make you not English? 🤔

I think it's absolutely mad that today there's a *national news story* about 400 oil platform workers losing their jobs, and the government being blamed. 25% of the UK TV industry lost their jobs in the last 4 years and we never hear a peep about it! Some jobs are 'real jobs' I guess.

One of the best bits about sharing poetry on Bluesky is that it reaches new readers via a contemporary version of old-fashioned word of mouth rather than falling victim to manipulated algorithms. This place feels like a more human take on social media, one where poetry can grow and flourish.
