I think it's disgusting we are taking money from the world's poorest to buy guns. It's vile but definitely not a 'difficult decision' as Labour seem to be pretending it is - plays to the reform base and has little day-to-day impact on voters.

Easy choice with horrific consequences

Always feel like I should know more about UK LGBTQ+ history - any good book recommendations to start with?

Well done for making it to the end of January.

Looking forward to getting back to work with @researchpodcasts.bsky.social on Friday and getting into the swing of a new schedule

Nappies, bottles, podcasts... And repeat

Almost new year which always brings about new me discussions but all I want this year is some sleep 💤

I sense I may be waiting until 2026 for that one ✌️

On mat leave but caught up with @researchpodcasts.bsky.social latest production on one of my many walks with the boys.

Definitely recommend ep 1 which gives an insight into what it is like to live through a war and deal with the aftermath.

Moved over from the other place because bored of asking why is everyone so angry?
