So let me get this right. I’ll get a 3.5% payrise this year, after a decade of below inflation payrises, whilst those who don’t work on benefits get a 6.2% increase?
Does male yearning exist? Do guys ever wait for girls to reply? Do men ever throw their phone across the room when sending a risky text? Do men ever scream in their pillow and kick their feet?
Curious to know, if you’d spent a couple of hours cooking up a curry for your family who are visiting from out of town and they turn up saying they are disappointed as they’d hoped you’d have made them a roast dinner instead, is this rude? Kind of wish I hadn’t bothered.
When Trump leaves office:
The Department of War will go back to being the Defense Department.
The Trump Kennedy Center will go back to being the Kennedy Center.
The Gulf of America will once again be the Gulf of Mexico.
The unfinished East Wing (it won't be finished by the end of Trump's term) will be rebuilt by the next president, and it will not be a ballroom.
Federal agencies packed with unqualified loyalists will fire those people and rehire the career experts Trump fired.
The Department of Justice will go back to enforcing the law instead of protecting the president.
Scientific agencies like NOAA, the EPA, and the CDC will go back to publishing research without political interference.
The U.S. will re-align with its allies and not with its enemies.
The presidential pardon power will stop being used as a rewards program for loyalists.
Inspectors General will go back to investigating corruption instead of getting fired for it.
The White House press room will go back to having briefings, with real journalists and not podcasters.
U.S. foreign policy will stop revolving around flattering dictators.
And the world will progress as though Donald Trump never existed.
We’ve been talking for weeks, and I finally told this guy last night that I wasn’t ready for a relationship and he responded “it’s been great, hope you have a good one” then he blocked me. Just like that….no effort, no pressure applied…I’m so disappointed ☹️
Eight years ago, I got a call from my Skipper asking if I was free to head to Wiltshire on Mutual Aid.
The Novichok attack had happened days earlier and Wiltshire Police desperately needed help with extensive crime scenes.
What followed were ten fifteen hour night shifts in the snow.
It’s funny though, I don’t really remember the cold or being tired, but I do remember the Chief Constable turning up out of the blue one night at 0300.
He arrived on his own, with hot food for us all. He didn’t rush off, he made sure we’d been able to resource winter clothing and that we were being fed properly and that as far as we could be, ‘enjoying’ ourselves. He stayed for about an hour and we talked about the complexities of the investigation his Force was facing. Eventually he made his apologies and left, he was back in for an early turn briefing and needed a few hours rest.
Once again this weekend we will see hundreds of Police Officers from across the country travel to London to help with multiple Policing operations on Mutual Aid.
It’d be good to see some visible leadership in and around what will no doubt be some very challenging incidents.

@g__j@MartinSLewis Drives me nuts that governments of all colours (particularly red though) think they know better than the experts. For what it’s worth, if I was PM I’d have you all in, ask what’s not working and how do we fix it. Then set policy based on what the experts tell me.
Lots of people messaging me saying octopus has added early exit fees to their fixes. Yes that seems to be a policy change. It's fixes were never that competitive compared to open market, but that (as well as service) was its big sell.
It is of course only for new not existing fixes. The market is in turmoil there are very few cheap fixes left so ultimately this may be a defensive move to keep it's fix relatively (definitely not absolutely) lower. To be fair all companies are playing with their now, mostly paltry, offerings. The market is all over the place.
We buy 76% of our country’s natural gas from Norway, 10% from Belgium and Holland 9% from USA and 5% from Qatar.
So when the 5% suppliers goes into a war zone why does our gas prices double when 95% of our gas comes from countries not in that region?
i've officially decided today is “men over 40 appreciation day” on my timeline ☺️☺️
because somehow they reply on time, use full sentences, and don’t panic when you send more than three texts in a row
if you’re 40+, emotionally steady, and actually online right now, say hi 👋
