B***dy cats. One stunned mouse by their food bowls. Sort that out and then sit down for a nice cup of coffee and see the cats are on the lookout again. Chase cats around lounge & catch them, then chase 2nd mouse around lounge and catch it. Clean up. Release cats. Sit down to cool cup of coffee.

DWP *sends me a letter* to say I will receive the Winter Fuel Payment and that HMRC will take it back.
I reckon that's £5 - 6M wasted on a letter to each pensioner household

Every Theatre Show is "Immersive"
I go to see a lot of theatrical productions. While most shows are good, the audience experience is usually dreadful. I'm not just talking about cramped seats and disgusting toilets (although they play a part) but that theatres haven't cottoned on to the idea that theatre is an immersive experience which can't be replicated by watching Netflix. There's an excellent article in The Stage about the…

While thousands of rail commuters are forced to stand in the aisle, first class sits empty. It makes no sense to divide up our trains like this.
It's time to scrap first class and return those seats to use.

We've all experienced having to stand in a packed train while first class sits completely empty. It makes no sense to divide up our trains like this.
Our railways should be welcoming, inclusive and accessible to all.

Omg it’s going full circle! To avoid a decline into multi, low quality site sprawl which is a big risk my vote goes to:
“Perhaps the proposition needs to be strengthened, involving close work w departments to understand their publishing needs, giving them support and maintaining single gov domain.”
“Perhaps the proposition needs to be strengthened, involving close work w departments to understand their publishing needs, giving them support and maintaining single gov domain.”
Should departments only ever publish content on GOV.UK?
What happens when the content they want to publish isn't guidance and doesn't fit the GOV.UK proposition?
What should GDS's position be on departments creating their own websites?

Websites beyond the GOV.UK proposition - TPXimpact
Departments are creating websites outside the main GOV.UK proposition, risking user trust. We explore why new GDS guidance on domains and branding is now essential.

Just listened to Gary Stevenson answering a straight question on The Rest is Politics: he voted Green as the only party to adopt his central point.
The Labour government wants to cut public services rather than tax the rich!
And they are using myths spread by billionaires to cover their tracks.
TAX. THE. RICH.

The Krasheninnikov volcano in Kamchatka, Russia, has erupted for the first time in 600 years.
It’s linked to the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the area a few days ago.
