Another year of accepting that my spicy brain means I'll never be the conformists vision of a man in a relationship, and that the equally weird women out there are all taken.

Flogging the deadest of dead horses. I reckon a good wedge of women who qualify for the money would rather it went on something much more useful than keeping quiet a handful of people who knew change was happening but chose to ignore it.
I have joined nearly 100 parliamentarians to call on the Government to reconsider its rejection of compensation for 1950s women for maladministered state pension age changes. The Ombudsman was clear: injustice occurred, compensation should follow.

Chris Mason and Sam Coates love the Westminster tittle tattle. Far easier and more enjoyable than, say, going to a new breakfast club at a Primary School in Middlesbrough and talking to parents.
The last few days have demonstrated the depth of the piss poor BBC and Sky political coverage.

Without a clearer sense of direction, Labour's doomed. So, by far the best thing that these two could do now would be to stop worrying about how best to become PM if and when Starmer eventually goes and instead think really, really hard about what they would do were they chosen to replace him.

Just watching the intro brings back memories of a great time in my life. And say what you like about Evans, but no one tapped into the nation's psyche like he did, he knew exactly what the punters wanted.

Still huge amounts to do, but 'members of the public aren't seeing any change', because even in the areas where progress has been made, the likes of Laura Kuenssberg, Chris Mason, Henry Zeffman & co simply don't report it

I don't understand this mealy-mouthed "Chomsky means so much and his writing has done so much good, and yes, we need to call attention to his error in judgment" -- no, he hung out with people he knew were raping and trafficking children. Doesn't need nuance. It really doesn't.
