Spot on. @libdems.org.uk need to focus on fixing the Met and making renting affordable again. #Rob4London

Tam Langley @tamlangley.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Yes 100% - fixing the Met and making rents cheaper is what @libdems.org.uk need to focus on. @robblackie.bsky.social did a great job getting us back to 3rd place last time. #Rob4London

Labour have lost Lord Mandelson's former council seat of Stockwell. At the last election they held this seat with 53% of the voting. The winning candidate is Liberal Democrat @tamlangley.bsky.social - who is absolutely amazing*.

Reading about @MIND launching an inquiry into AI google search summary's dangerous advice for people with serious mental health conditions. And I'm served ads about non-profit leaders needing to adopt AI .. ironic?

I'm quoted in today's @the-independent.com on a new report from parliament's Health & Social Care Committee. Here at @parentinfantfdn.bsky.social we are calling for 'Healthy Babies' services to be available in every local area, not just the 75 currently funded: www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

Lovely long-read in today's @thetimes.com explaining how babies communicate and the importance of talking to them. Also how traumatic births can impact bonding and why parents who are struggling need support. That's our mission at @parentinfantfdn.bsky.social www.thetimes.com/life-style/p...

@pippaheylings.bsky.social asked whether Start for Life services could be extended to every area of England, including to her South Cambridgeshire constituency. The government confirmed that it holds the ambition to ensure that start for life services reach every child.

Any suggestions please for how to check if a melody you have written is new or if it's a tune you've heard and unconsciously copied? Not sure Shazam can identify single notes on a piano, I think it just does full tracks. 🙉

...challenges of insecure and poor quality housing, unemployment and poor mental health, domestic violence and trauma. Investing in the first 1001 days is key because it's when babies' brains are rapidly developing and they learn to form sounds, process the world around them and self-regulate.

...A big gap (more than 20% difference) exists here between kids entitled to free school meals. Just 51.5% are at a good level of development aged 5.

Most effective time to invest! The earlier the investment the greater the return. But national programmes like Start for Life are jointly owned by the DfE and the DHSC. So while today's Budget announced £69m for Family Hubs (the DfE's responsibility), it said nothing about DHSC funded services ...

Tam Langley @tamlangley.bsky.social · 30/10/2024

Today's Budget epitomises the long-standing policy problem that responsibility for babies and toddlers' health and wellbeing is not held by a single government department. It's on the list of several, and the priority of none. Why does this matter? Because intervening in the early months is the ...

True test of whether you really do have a small ego is - are you willing to share your Monzo unwrapped? Just looked at mine and it was so utterly depressingly middle aged that I am ashamed to share. Eg. Top shopping was 🙈 Ocado. #predictable #bubble #middleage

Whoever dreamt up the gremlins had a dog like Coco I'm sure. Cute and friendly until you try to take away the random mouldy teabag she's found on the street. When she turns into a monster.
