I do enjoy liquorice 😋 but for those of you with high blood pressure beware. The compound glycyrrhizic acid raises BP 📈

A Captain Haaland goal shoots many FPL managers into the 💯 club 🤩

By my maths you could buy around 145,000 2 bed Modular homes for £1B. www.amazon.co.uk/Foldable-Exp...

They could have waited until after the Spurs game 😑

The people at the library are talking to themselves 😐
Can I have my own library (in my own house) 🙏🏻🏡📚

What if from the very start we used every penny of funds for homeless prevention to build social housing. Where would we be right now? It is clear that this is a political choice, built into the system.

Temporary accommodation linked to deaths of 104 children in England in six years Calls for ‘urgent, sustained action’ over rising number of children who do not have permanent home

Temporary accommodation is a killer — linked to deaths of 104 children in last 6 years

Average fat cat pay surged to £5.9m last year - but firms say it's not enough Top bosses running some of Britain's biggest companies saw their pay and perks go up 4.5 times faster than a typical UK worker last year - but shareholders asked to approve new average 200% surge

Average UK fat cat pay surges to £5.9m, up 18%.

Exec pay and perks rise 4.5 times faster than a typical UK worker pay

Shareholders asked to approve new average 200% surge in CEO pay.

Govts preach pay restraint to workers, do nothing to curb fat-cattery.

I am 3 points off the top 50k with 6 players left to play 🥸 FPL

More than one pair of eyes is way too many ❌

36 points from 3 Brighton assets. 🙌🏻
6 points from 3 Chelsea. 🙄

What is going on with FPL Alerts and Fantasy Football Scout accounts tonight? Are they living in the Future with Doc Brown? 😕

Knausgård said that people watch TV because we each have a need to look into the eyes of other human beings. For those with social anxiety, this can be done without the ingrained fear of judgement. A lifeline for so many 📺

Donald Trump says that he doesn't have time to be depressed. 🙄 Like it's something you do instead of college or getting a job. You can't beat those smarts.

Most people aren't aware that generally when they see other human beings, social regions in the brain release positive endorphins. In social anxiety, this does not happen! Instead, cortisol is released and the threat detection regions of the brain are on high alert and preparing for fight or flight

The current school system with it's extensive testing and homework is really damaging our children's wellbeing and robbing them of their childhood's. The potential future cost to the Nation's economy could be collosal.

That's a relief. The predictable patterns repeat themselves but nothing tangibly changes in people's day-to-day lives. The only thing that ever seems to improve is the rich's bank balance.

After any kind of socialising, I take hours to return to a normal level of awareness and being present again.

The point's gap between 70k and 1st place would be nice.

The Madelson appointment was a car crash but is it just me who thinks public inquiries are just a smoke screen to not deal with the really important issues like climate change & inequality? People can't afford food & shelter. People are so traumatised by work & school that there is a MH epidemic.

According to Tim Spector, men have taste receptors in their testicles. 😬

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

A point for West Ham. If they had of won, you feel 4pts would have been a mountain to climb for Spurs. There is still a glimer of light. 🙏🏻

I might ask China for one of their clever foldable homes on Amazon for just £7k. I think I will have more chance than waiting for an affordable home in the South of England. 😵🏡

Who's afraid of the China shock? While China supports innovations designed to save the planet, the west is still subsidising the companies destroying it.

Thanks to China’s green subsidies, renewables are cheaper than ever.

Our subsidised oil companies and arms manufacturers have just pushed us into *another* war - and energy crisis.

Politicians in the west keep blaming China for their own stupidity.

I’m deeply saddened at the tragic loss of Giles Peaker. Giles was not only an exceptionally talented housing lawyer but a real force for good in the world who played an integral role in the development of the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act. My heartfelt condolences to all who loved him.

now, is it now?

I'm sorry to hear that Debs. I hope you can find some relief. Hot or cold therapy sometimes helps me.
