‘I thought, let’s just drink water this week. I know I can survive a few days without food.’

No one should be left in a situation like this. But this winter thousands of people will be driven to the doors of food banks.

Today is off to a bad start.
Phone didn't charge overnight.

Got to the gym to find no running water so wouldn't be able to shower before the office.

Left my lunch at home.

The dog ate the marzipan sweets my husband bought me.

I've gained a kilo (so maybe the dog was just helping me out).

According to the Bank of England Inflation Calculator, £25k in 1975 would be £200k today.

In another episode, we're told Jerry next door earned £80k annually. £627k a year now. Assuming their house was worth a similar amount, that's a hell of a ratio.

Choir, let me share a thought with you.

If justice for child rapists disrupts society, then society needed to be disrupted.

Oh, he's a job creator? Oh, the economy will suffer? Oh, the uncertainty? Oh, our whole political system?

If it's built on raping children, burn it all the fuck down.

Amen.

It's very easy: if you are on a march organised by racists, and there are lots of racists there then you are a racist too.

When the Tommeh mob kick off, could someone tell McSweeney and Starmer that most British people intensely dislike drunk, coked up football hooligans acting the twat and it is high time they stood up to them, and for British values, which do not include yobbery, vandalism or white nationalism.

Labour is shameful. They told us they wanted to end the cull, but now they've changed their mind.

Share if you're furious and want the cull to end immediately!

Funny how the actual conclusion your headline should come to is that societal fat-shaming is a bigger problem than actually having body fat. What if we started shaming people for being jerks, instead?

Plato's Cave allegory, illustrated. the shadows on the cave wall are captioned "increasingly insane and extreme positions", the prisoners labeled "internet users", the figures holding the shadow's shapes labeled "algorithms", the fire labeled "random internet users expressing their idiosyncratic beliefs". the space above the cave is labeled "literally just outside" and the philosopher freed from the chains of the physical world labeled "guy who logs off"

Today I hiked the stunning Simonside and Dove Crags in Northumberland, rugged cliffs and breathtaking panoramic views. And bloody windy.

Almost 3 million emergency food parcels were provided by food banks to people facing hunger in the past year – equivalent to one parcel every 11 seconds. This is a 51 per cent increase compared to five years ago

I confess, that after a classy evening last night drinking champagne and eating in a lovely French restaurant in Newcastle. Today I'm hanging.
I need carbs and salt and fat and a cuddle and a cup of tea. In any order

I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the government to rethink its cruel, shameful & completely irresponsible plan to cut benefits which will plunge 250,000 people, including 50,000 children into poverty - on its own impact analysis

This is how you can help
