Love it when a video game main menu background changes as you progress further into the story. That’s cool. 😎

BREAKING: The House of Commons has just passed Labour’s Employment Rights Bill. This will deliver the biggest upgrade in workers' rights in a generation 👏

It is 50 years since the Sex Discrimination Act 1975, which aimed to bring equal pay for men and women. In many jobs, we’re still not there. On #InternationalWomensDay we look at East Anglian employers to find the good and the bad. By @jennyrhodes42.bsky.social

Amazing what a day of sun can do - big spring clean done, revision started, time to chill ✌️

This may or may not be a good idea but it's certainly not Trumpian and nothing is gained by describing it in that way. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The @theonion.com might as well just pack it in.

“you sure have a lot of books” yeah, i like to read to escape reality.

People in London have been breathing significantly cleaner air since the expansion of the ultra low emission zone (Ulez), a study has found.

Itching for a Taskmaster S19 date announcement, just know Jason Mantzoukas will be pure gold.

Private finance initiatives have been a disaster for our public services. 🤦‍♀️ New NHS boss must rule out any new PFI in our health service. ❌ Backed by @unitetheunion.bsky.social @gmb.org.uk @keepournhspublic.bsky.social @justtreatment.bsky.social @everydoctor.org.uk weownit.org.uk/news/open-le...

In vast areas of the US, the sentiments expressed in this wonderful letter from a British man about why it's a privilege to pay tax to enable the National Health Service to run would see him probably certified as insane and labelled a "socialist".

I am going to fire up the Switch and play Animal Crossing for a few minutes like it's 2020, because (1) it is arguably more useful than me reading social media right now and perseverating and (2) I need 15 min in a place where my worst problem is that I shook a wasp out of a tree

If Kemi Badenoch thinks a UK-US trade deal will prevent tariffs being applied on UK goods what would be her explanation for what Trump has done with Mexico and Canada?

Pub quiz won: achievement unlocked 🏆

And while I'm on it, considering the magnitude of events, the tightrope gov't is trying to walk, and their earnest declarations of patriotism, it is at best naive for farmers to go ahead with some tin-eared “no pancakes without us” protest - let alone the Leader of the Opposition attending. AT BEST.

Our recent survey revealed 1 in 5 GPs in England plan to change their career because they can’t find work - write to your MP and urge them to support changes that will allow more GPs to work in the NHS. ✍️Write to your MP now by using our tool activism.bma.org.uk/page/166441/...

Finally had the chance to sit down and watch The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, incredible cast but a little underwhelmed if honest..

Trudeau coming out swinging

Spectacular end to the evening ❤️ #COYG

Hi — quick question: How is this legal? www.wired.com/story/people...

Trudeau is absolute class.

🚨 Private hospitals are threatening to pull out of the NHS deal unless they can squeeze even MORE profit from public funds. This is exactly why we need to invest in NHS capacity, not hand billions to companies that put profits before patients. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Trump’s team are master illusionists—distracting the world’s public with drama, chaos & international brinkmanship while they quietly dismantle an already limited US democracy & crush free speech. Don’t be fooled by the spectacle. The real trick is happening behind the curtain.

When they say peace, they mean surrender.

Given the importance he supposedly places on gratitude, Vance’s disdain for the service and sacrifice of UK soldiers’ in Iraq and Afghanistan is startling.

🔴The British Press Has Been Given ‘Virtual Impunity’ for Bad Behaviour, Warns Media Regulator The next big media scandal is only a matter of time after successive governments refuse to further regulate the industry bylinetimes.com/2025/03/04/p...

👏

Our city’s Walk-In Centre is under threat again. Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board (the ICB) wants to completely shut the Centre or slash its opening hours from 12 to 4 hours daily.

As we welcome the news that the UK will support Ukraine with a £2.26bn loan… Here’s your reminder that the Conservatives wasted £9.9bn on unusable or defective PPE Never forget their staggering corruption and incompetence.

i miss the days where video game walkthroughs were articles with some pictures if necessary. i’m not sitting through your 10 minute long youtube video in hopes of MAYBE gleaning relevant information. and your video ~intro~ sucks 😒

Just for the record, we are underreacting.

i am one (1) more piece of bad news away from reverting to the use of Paramore lyrics as captions

Out of office set ✌️ time for a well deserved break!

The casting and styling in The Monkey is incredible, every single person looks like a live action cartoon character

Amanda Pritchard wanted more private finance in the NHS. The NHS repairs backlog of £13.8bn is dwarfed by the £44bn still owed on PFI contracts. PFI has been a disaster and the new NHS boss, James Mackey, must rule out any new private finance. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/camp...

The only reasonable thing for Starmer to do now is rescind his offer of a state visit to Trump.

I'm coming at this late. Just seen this. It might be the single worst moment in intentional politics that I have ever witnessed.

Forgot what an absolute masterpiece Nighty Night is.

Apparently, alongside all the other joints we have, it’s been decided that our biggest one - English and History - is to be scrapped, despite it not requiring a single bespoke module and therefore saving £0. Vandalism. Again.

After Badenoch suggests Starmer took her advice to cut aid to boost defence, the PM says she 'didn't feature in my thinking at all' 'She's appointed herself I think saviour of the Western civilisation. It's a desperate search for relevance' #PMQs

So nice having a cinema just 10 mins walk away, today’s midweek pick-me-up and/or bringer of nightmares..

Getting so close to denim jacket season!

“Look at Donald Trump and his gang of broligarchs – and tell me we don’t need a wealth tax” Brian Cox www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Well said Keir Starmer.👏👏 #ReformUKLtd

Thought I’d learned to lean into the manic but last week.. last week, was a challenge. 💀

I had a talk with someone earlier who very proudly informed me that they read only nonfiction. When I inquired why (dear God why), they simply said "I like my reading to teach me about the world." I laughed. All the facts in all the books in all the world cannot teach you any of what fiction does.
