Excuse me, Mr @realrossnoble Theodore Bowjangles wanted to know (but didn’t bark up) how many beads of sweat (rather than tears) for the slug? @StoopidWeazel

October is #ADHDAwarenessMonth ! We are proud to have @ADHDFoundation amongst our members! Follow their page to find out more about their work and a wide-range of support services they provide for people with neurodevelopmental conditions!
Liz Truss said several times in her radio round that no family would pay more than £2,500 this year for energy bills. This is just *not* the case - and here’s why 👇🏼
Pls share to stop confusion. THERE IS NO £2,500 CAP ON ENERGY BILLS. Instead the new 1 Oct guarantee, like the old caps, limits - Daily charge (28p gas, 46p elec) - & Unit rates (10p/kWh gas, 34p/kWh elec) So use more, pay more. £2,500 is just what someone with avg use'd pay

I think the Queen would want us all to live the way she did, with free public housing, basic universal income, and full government health care.

Our leadership has to change. It needs to become a little less about the leader and a lot more about the ship. pm4pm.com #pm4pm

Guys!!! I bought a planner and wrote a to-do list today and IT ACTUALLY WORKED! I've finished everything on my list and it's not even 10am!!! Turns out everyone who suggested, "Have you tried making a list?" was actually right!!!! You really CAN beat your ADHD with a planner!

A wise old editor of mine once told me never to have an argument with someone I didn’t respect, which is a good rule that I am bad at following.

We are witnessing the appalling events happening to Ukrainians and their pets. 💔 Sadly, we know that many more need our help. By donating, you will help provide food and supplies for those fleeing the war. 👉 bit.ly/34y7VQq #Ukraine
