The irony is there’s a very good employability programme specifically for people with mental illness called IPS that evaluates really well and is recognised across the UK but just… is not sufficiently available.

The GLA has adopted the Greater London Council’s coat of arms, which was put into abeyance when the GLC was abolished in 1986.
I remember a former London Assembly member proposing to do just this in 2020 (yes it was me).
A wonderful 25th anniversary gift for the GLA.

All Starmer had to say was "The law has been interpreted in a way it was not intended and we will legislate to put it right". It was a test of character and he failed.
the law is the problem, the government must fix the law, that’s where the responsibility for this lies

A certain supermarket appears to have found the most ghastly festive mix tape imaginable. It wasn't the songs as such, but the covers. *shudder*

British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
Survey also reveals Britons’ favourite festive film, views on tear-jerkers and family cinema trips
When Macaulay Culkin recently said he didn’t consider Die Hard to be a Christmas film – wading into one of pop culture’s most heated holiday debates – he was booed by a live audience.

Somewhat flummoxed by the reply my MP (Labour) has sent to mine about the government's asylum policy. Different tone to that used by the Home Secretary but nonetheless, towing the party line. Unless there are hints that a political commentator would pick up but not the average voter?? (Doubtful.)

I am consistently amazed the Building Safety Regulator isn’t a much bigger story. It’s brought house building in London to a total halt, but it’s also brought cladding remedy works to a halt, too. Which is costing leaseholders FORTUNES, halting sales, and leaving people living in unsafe buildings.
... at the Building Safety Regulator - which has lead to 9 month delays at this stage alone:

When new regulations were introduced 18 months, planned target was to get decisions made with 12 weeks

Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

We’ve committed to zero new transmission of HIV in the capital by 2030. We’ll continue to work with partners to tackle the stigma of getting tested and treated.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."
