It's beyond time that politicians were banned from having 'second' (3rd, 4th, 6th) jobs.
They get paid a generous salary for a 'full-time' post. That should mean full-time work.

Exceptions for medical doctors to maintain their training could be made obvs.

That depends on how big the poll was & who organised it.
56% seems incredibly low to me too, but if they only asked Torygraph readers....🤷‍♀️

Well done Maxine👏👏

I haven't followed it much on the news it's too heart-breaking.
Any other nation doing this the Westminster Government would be up in arms.
It's every sort of wrong and Totally inhumane.

I was quite surprised, given the amount of negative press that would have you believe that this government is the worst we’ve had yet.

I’ll put the link in the next post but given we had a complete shit show with the Tories, this is astonishing. Do reshare or bookmark the link, it’s handy.

Thanks to @teedixie.bsky.social for the link.

Labours comms are terrible, but this goes some way to explain what they've achieved & what's ongoing.

That sounds really good.
It's amazing how some wild animals manage to adapt to and make the most of us humans.

Killing the disabled, the jobless & privatising the NHS I suppose.
She's all heart.🙄

It seems likely as foxes live in family groups that average three to four adults, with 4 or 5 cubs born each spring.
I found an interesting page on Urban Foxes👇 I was curious about it as I only knew about rural foxes😊

There are no right or wrongs in this. It's how you feel.
It's great that you have such a Pop shaped space in your heart x

Absolutely. Do it late at night there's no chance🦄🦄😀

My attempt was nowhere near as good as yours. Though I am pleased with my unicorn😊🦄

I was in the first year that had student loans. So no tuition fees to deal with, but at the time it felt awful.
If things had gone as planned - probably well worth it. They didn't, I became ill & I've not managed to repay my loan.

Today's Poll: Was a University education worth it financially? Graduates do you FEEL your earnings/wealth is higher (after student loan repayments) as you went to Uni than if you hadn't.

Morning.
I've never seen a fox on the street before, though they did like sleeping (in the middle of the day) in the back garden of a friends house.
Growing up in Somerset we'd see the young cubs playing in the field around dusk - that was really lovely😊

ME/CFS is a devastating condition that has long been denied, dismissed, psychologised and underdiagnosed. Research is at last starting to catch up with it, with glimmers of hope for those who have been left untreated for so long.
There's a huge BUT coming ...🧵

What about Buckingham Palace?
William's always banging on about helping the homeless and as the current royals have all moved to Windsor...
How many 'houses' does one person need.
