Design legend Margaret Calvert is 90 today. Look at that cake! If you've ever admired a road, rail or metro sign in Britain it's likely she had something to do with it. One of Britain's design heroes. Photo by: @oshgallerylondon (IG) Cake by: mybaker.co

🧵 18 months ago, a man moved in next door. He lives on the top floor and shares with two other families One day he introduces himself and says how he wishes he could sit in my beautiful garden and have coffee with me. So I invite him over and we have coffee He seems sweet

@flaminhaystacks Tell him to stock up for the end of the month 😋

A lesson on social democracy that is not from a lying billionaire.

The state pension is not a random government favour, it’s the back end of a 35–40 year compulsory “contract” where people are forced to hand over National Insurance on the clear promise of a basic pension at the end. Politicians and think tanks helped design an unfunded, pay‑as‑you‑go system where today’s workers pay today’s pensioners, then have the gall to call it “unsustainable” as if the public dreamt it up. If a private firm sold you a retirement product on fixed terms, took your money for four decades, then announced at 66 that you “didn’t really need it” and would henceforth be means‑tested or frozen, they would be in court for mis‑selling and fraud. The crisis here is not pensioners “leeching off the young”, it’s a political class that built a Ponzi‑style NI system, diverted the proceeds for other spending, and now wants to default on the people who kept their side of the bargain. You do not blame the victims of a defective product for believing the brochure; you go after the people who wrote it.

Big up this legend. He's spitting straight facts.

CHINA JUST DREW A LINE ON AI A court in China has ruled it ILLEGAL to replace human workers with AI purely to cut costs. They have put responsibility back on corporations. They can’t automate just to boost margins while workers are pushed out. China has decided that wages, fairness, and employment aren’t optional. And that’s a big shift. While the west races to replace labour as fast as possible, viewing AI as a free-for-all… China has set a precedent that profit alone isn’t enough and corporations must answer to society.

@vitt2tsnoc Love the EU jumper

HAPPY FRIDAY FOLKS, WE MADE IT

If you read one thing this week make it @JonIronmonger’s report into how the Met Police and Northamptonshire Police worked together to ensure public trust of them remains in the toilet. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Will the real Keir Starmer please stand up? Is it the man who said that his govt would tread lightly on the lives of people? The man that said he'd have a decade of national renewal? The man who said we'd get better and then engulfed us all in this while the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. We deserve better 👏

@flaminhaystacks Amazing

Americans, this is all true. You wouldn't like it here. Stay in America, don't even visit.

I’ve been casually slipping in fake British sayings and words into conversation with my American partner - here’s the one’s she believes:

@clumsyoaf33 They get crumbs where you don’t want crumbs

What about ones who sleep naked alone with snacks in their bed?

@BFitz619 @vitt2tsnoc Yeah, because everyone calls every item the same as Americans everywhere in the world otherwise they’re just plain wrong I guess? Prick.

@danjimian @vitt2tsnoc Joggers? Those are sweatpants

I fucking hate shit like this. I’d punch this twat in the cap.

@I_amMukhtar I’ve seen a longer version of this - she gets out of the car and kicks the victim a couple of times. Horrific.

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ She ruined her whole life and others’ because her ex slept with another woman. Apparently, she’s an influencer.
