@Mr_Considerate Neither interesting nor complicated. Only a handful of times it’s even been relevant.

Complicated perhaps, but not interesting. I’m not even sure it’s complicated.

Am I Irish-ish? I’m not not Irish. Being second-generation Irish in Britain is complicated irishtimes.com/abroad/2025/12…

@judeinlondon In their place, I’d just assume dad was doing time.

@RoseUnwin @DukePress My son has v. limited speech, a lot of it lines from kid’s tv programmes. Recently he compared music from the Beatrix Potter ballet to Don Quixote ballet. After some serious digging we found the composer of BP used DQ as an inspiration.
Impossible to plumb and quite beautiful

Wonderful stuff from Danilyn Rutherford about raising a child who does not speak. Familiar.

@paullewismoney Dad used to call it ‘corned dog’. He loved a corned dog sarnie. I still keep a tin in the fridge for when the mood takes me
English
Yes. And it was called corned beef. Cheap meat.

Corn beef …..Did anyone actually eat this stuff ?

@Seanchuckle School prepares you for life in a world that doesn’t exist. And probably never did.
English
Counterpoint: abolish school.
Ally Fogg@AllyFogg
I call for more male teachers but it has nothing to do with female teachers being “a problem” for boys. It’s all about kids seeing men work with children & normalising ideas that it’s fine & natural for boys to have careers in education, caring or literacy-based professions.

@JasonReidUK @Ken_Stonger Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

@OwenJones84 Somebody tell him there’s a surplus of right- wing blowhards banging on about virtue signalling do-gooders. And they’re better at it than so called liberals. Even extreme ones
English
A man with “liberal extremist” in his bio smears Labour MPs voting against child poverty and equates that with authoritarian thuggery.
Ian Dunt@IanDunt
Terribly stupid. A pointless theatrical display of look-at-me conscience from the rebels. And an excessive control-freak response from the leadership.

@Hellsbells914 @sylviajholmes @LBC @TomSwarbrick1 I hope you gain some compassion and humanity before your bitterness consumes you.
End of.
English
@terragher @sylviajholmes @LBC @TomSwarbrick1 What are you talking about? Try reading! I simply confirmed parents can get a car if their child has ADHD in some cases because I personally know someone who has one. End of. “Clearly” you don’t know it all do you?
English
'How does an ADHD diagnosis in a child result in £40,000 and Personal Independence Payments?'
@TomSwarbrick1 'can't believe' caller Chris' claim that his brother earns over £3000 a month because two of his children have ADHD.
English
@Hellsbells914 @sylviajholmes @LBC @TomSwarbrick1 “Clearly” it’s something you’ve just made up to justify begrudging people transport who would otherwise be housebound. Do you enjoy being so bitter ?
English
English
@tom_watson I mean, if you’re cross about people voting to reduce child poverty- there’s hardly any point in pretending either. We can see you for what you are
English
I mean if you vote against your party programme in the first two weeks in office, after 14 years in opposition, there's hardly any point in pretending…
Owen Jones@owenjonesjourno
Keir Starmer just suspended 7 Labour MPs - because they voted against driving hundreds of thousands of children into poverty. The behaviour of a power crazed bully. The modern Labour party: where you're driven out if you're against imposing poverty on kids.
English
@Hellsbells914 @sylviajholmes @LBC @TomSwarbrick1 You have to be on higher rate dla with a mobility allowance to get a car. This means either severe physical disability or a condition that make it dangerous or impossible to travel without a car. Adhd alone wouldn’t be sufficient to qualify.
English
@judeinlondon “Best’s chip” clearly indicates I’m too old to have kids.
English
@sylviajholmes @LBC @TomSwarbrick1 Adhd does not give those sorts of benefits- and years ago we didn’t just get on with it - we suffered.
Why do you feel compelled to lie to make a point ?
English
@LBC @TomSwarbrick1 I’ve known of ppl with ADHD child/ren having a new car and good money from it! Years ago we just got on with it, now it has a label it’s brings in £££

@SamWhyte Used to climb out of train windows and dangle from the roof guttering by my fingertips.
Was only a branch line mind, I’m not an idiot.
English
@Kevin_Maguire Applying wishful thinking to politics is a mugs game. And you know it
English
To invert a slogan of US politician Mario Cuomo, Starmer campaigned in prose to govern in poetry.
Under-promising in the manifesto to over-deliver in office is the strategy.
