@newstart_2024 Spices definitely help. I’m enjoying chicken and veg as part of my calorie deficit but that chicken is very spicy and the veg is salty.🌶️

Still thinking about this Gordon Ramsay chat from September 2024 — the man made his clean eating routine sound so straightforward it almost feels doable. When he’s in cutting mode, it’s dead simple: protein shake to start the day, scrambled eggs for lunch, and then something poached for dinner — usually chicken or fish. No big salads, nothing fancy or fad-like. He keeps it plain on the base but loads it with serious spices from his warehouse (habanero, whatever hits) so it actually tastes good instead of like punishment. The discipline part is brutal though. He’ll sit in front of an incredible dish, take exactly two mouthfuls, and force himself to walk away — even when that greedy inner voice is screaming for the whole plate. Third bite and it’s game over, he says. That chef background of grazing tiny tastes all shift long, staying light on your feet like a ballerina behind the line, clearly trained him for it. It’s not glamorous or complicated. Just consistent, painful little choices repeated. Made me rethink how I approach my own clean stretches — maybe the key really is keeping the food satisfying but simple. Anyone else tried something like Ramsay’s protein-shake + eggs + poached protein setup? Does loading basic food with good spices actually help you stick to it longer?

@NancyH_60 The problem is archaic school terms which bear no correlation to modern life. Schools should be open year round. No child is required to help with the harvest! Properly staffed, professional establishments could give teachers as many weeks off as their union can negotiate.

Unpopular parenting opinion: I'm fine with my kids missing school for travel. Before anyone panics-yes, we absolutely try to travel during school breaks. But real life doesn't always line up perfectly... and I'm not skipping meaningful family experiences just to keep an attendance record spotless. These trips have given us connection, perspective, and memories we still talk about years later. I'll take that trade every time. I’d love to hear your opinion on taking kids out of school for vacation. I personally do not have a problem with it.

@UKLabour 🐂💩! The ‘working’ class are looking for a way out of the cesspit this country has become.

This Labour Government is the most working-class government in the history of the UK.

@DreyfusJames Hi from Rodney. We lost Derek a couple of years ago but Rodney is now king of the sofa. 🐾

Not only was it extremely lovely to wake up to so many pics of people’s dogs, it was also hugely heartening to note the universal outcry at the BBC’s sudden, & rather transparent, motivation to ‘suggest’ that we, as a country, might have taken our love for dogs “a bit too far…”

@misandreil I feel like this about the opening paragraph of The Black Angel by @jconnollybooks It is utterly beautiful and compelling and sets the tone of a great read. I hope Mr Connolly doesn’t mind me sharing it here.

just bought a new book i’m obsessed with the intro paragraph

@JacquiDeevoy1 I’m sure the medics would say otherwise. Sadly I don’t trust them anymore.😔

@JacqBev9616 To get more people on the meds

One week off the meds, intermittent fasting. BP almost normal. The GP told me not to come off the meds (which I’ve been on since October) because it would create a sudden huge spike in my BP. That’s not happened. bloodpressureok.com/reading/149-ov…

@TheAliceSmith 👏👏👏

Unpopular opinion: Homework is an intrusion of the state education system into private family life. It is both a signal of dominance but also of failure on the part of the teacher. There is sufficient time during school hours for all learning activities.

@UKLabour We really don’t.

Labour will always defend British interests abroad and stand up for you at home.

@FitFusion__ 2 + (3x0) =2 fixed it.

5 or 0 ?

@GMB I object to him doing this particular job whilst larping as a woman. I have an innate mistrust of any man pretending to be something they are not. It’s visceral and something most men can never comprehend. Trans women are men.

Steph Richards is a trans woman who works for the charity Endometriosis South Coast as their parliamentary engagement officer which is a voluntary role, but in the last week, she has seen a tsunami of hate directed her way. Some women online have called her appointment deeply offensive, but Steph says this is just another excuse for transphobia. Steph talks to @PaulBrandITV and @kategarraway

@benonwine Checks date 🤔

Keir Starmer is one of this Country’s GREATEST Prime Ministers and a INSPIRATION to many, Let’s HOPE he stays in power for Decades. ❤️🙏 😘

@KTHopkins And this! Omfg I hate it with a passion. 🤬

Barrel jeans were designed by an evil bastard who never wants women to have sex ever again.

@CleansedTweets Utterly 😔

How do people who lived through the 80s and 90s stomach today. I can’t fathom it. Surely you must be depressed?

@offgridteacher Wait till summer and let them run around butt naked till they get it. I started the first summer they turned one and they were both clean and dry at two.

I’m starting potty training with my little one tomorrow. We’ve done months of prep, books, talking about it, but now it’s time. Send your best (not unhinged) tips!

@LorieLor74463 @ThrillaRilla369 And this is why I’ve written a will that makes it impossible for the successful ‘casserole lady’ to inherit my half of our estate.

@ThrillaRilla369 Women will say no, Men need a woman. Period. It’s truly that simple.

If you lost your spouse, do you think you could ever marry again?

@ThrillaRilla369 Could…wouldn’t.

@gotrice2024 If you weren’t present at the conception, you shouldn’t be in attendance at the birth. (Midwives and doctors excepted)

This couple is getting ready to have a baby, the woman plans on having her husband as well as her own mother present because the hospital only allows two people in the delivery room. The only problem is that the father’s mom insists that she be allowed to be present ok and feels her daughter in law is being selfish by choosing her own mother over the mother in law to be present. I feel that this is their moment and their baby. They should be respected for their decision and it’s not like they are denying the mother in law the chance to see the new baby when the baby is born. I feel the wife wanted her support team there and that’s perfectly fine. But what do you think of the dad’s mo, is it fair to her that she’s being denied entry to the delivery room?

@JacquiDeevoy1 @RupertLowe10 If society dictates that it is wrong to take a life, then society must never take a life. You can’t have it both ways. 🤷‍♀️

I had no idea Rupert Lowe @RupertLowe10 supported the death penalty. I am 💯 AGAINST the death penalty for many reasons and if it was ever reinstated in the UK, I would leave immediately. What are your views on the death penalty and how would you react if it were reintroduced?
