@LizaTarbuckUK - how about a spin for the Rev

I’m calling on all comedians to march against us paying inheritance tax. For us it’s not a job, it’s a way of life. The tax means my kids will have to sell everything if I die and their jokes will be lost forever. But I don’t expect you to understand that, Kier Starmer!!!

OK HERE WE GO reverendandthemakers.lnk.to/lnphonecall I’ve always wanted to do the Jon Lewis ad but no one asked me so I kinda made my own 3 minute one in Sheffield More importantly it’s to raise awareness and money for @samaritanscharity who are there for people 365 days a year . Nobody should have to feel alone this Xmas If you could share the video link and maybe give some money too then I would be much obliged Thanks so much Jon

I’m migrating to @denzileeds.bsky.social if you want to give me a follow, it’s like it was on here when it was proper…..

Ahead of CCN Conference 2024, read coverage of our new report on working-age and lifelong disabled adults in today's @Telegraph as costs spiral for councils. We're calling for the needs of these individuals to be part of the conversation on care reform: telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/11/1…

New @CCNOffice report highlights the "urgent need for focused attention" on working-age adults accessing social care "as we address funding and reform", @DJAFothergill tells @Telegraph today telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/11/1…

I remember where I was when I watched the final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth and how I sat stunned at the end. One of the best pieces of tragicomic writing ever, in any form; worth another look today of all days.

Bolton Wanderers' socks are certainly a bold choice... #StockportCounty #BWFC

@ZoeBawn @AspireCBS @GoltonStewart @kevin_ritchie1 @CllrSamFirth Ah thanks Zoe, is & always has been a pleasure & a privilege!!

As we move to the end of Trustees Week, I’d like to extend my ongoing gratitude to our brilliant Board @AspireCBS for your guidance, governance and support both this week and every week! Thank you @denzeeld @GoltonStewart @kevin_ritchie1 @CllrSamFirth and all our Directors

Excellent piece on the manipulative scare and anxiety creating tactics of right wing press, in this case Daily Telegraph. Bear @i_iratus will be centring on this going forward. Follow and send examples to Bear 👍🏼👍🏼

@Baddiel @RevRichardColes I’m put in mind of Steve Martins dog in ‘The Jerk’

@RevRichardColes I assume that's not one of his dogs?

I have actually watched this interview and Carlson mentions that also in/on the bed that night were his four dogs. At no point does the interviewer even say: “do you think it’s just possible that those scratch marks you mention came from…no obviously not, it must’ve been a demon from Hades.”

@GuidoFawkes 👍more revenue👍

@SebRees1 Perhaps there’ll need / an obligation - to be some sharing of the £22bill like an extension to the Better Care Fund…

Health (and care) spending is about trade-offs too and at some stage we'll have to be brave enough to confront them. Let's hope that NHS bodies spend their £22 billion wisely 🤔 Ends/

Broken record, and I know we are awaiting details on how the NHS will spend its settlement... But if two of the big shifts you want are a pivot towards prevention and care closer to home, you can't keep putting🥜into social care and remain silent on the public health grant. 1/

@ThatTimWalker @RachelReevesMP Not wholly unexpected when you contemplate their outlooks. Personally think the announcements were quite smart & leave room for significant manoeuvre in later years via underspends & favourable interest rate shifts

Across the titles, I wouldn’t say these are rave reviews for @RachelReevesMP.

Weird narrative from some that a modest increase in employers NI will mean workers should expect lower headline pay rises. Did corporate Britain ever hand out bumper pay rises when corporation tax was cut?

@ShaunLintern Most of this will go on increased fees to cover the NI increase - pretty much straight ‘in-out’.

On this day 52 years ago, Stevie Wonder released "Talking Book"... Leaving behind the Motown formula, he ventured into uncharted territories with this album, which has since become a cornerstone of his legacy... But why does it hold such legendary status? A thread🧵
