@thepublicgets @socialistp40357 @pickup8907 @RachelReevesMP Mode is the better metric. The median just shows the middle value whereas the mode shows the most common value. The figures you have posted suggest wages increase with age and for most jobs, that’s idealistic at best.

This lie about most working people’s wages must end. It causes a wrong diagnosis of everything. Every policy decision if framed incorrectly. Median by age is the metric to use: 18–21: £13,069 – £25,948 22–29: £29,855 – £34,724 30–39: £36,000 – £45,105 40–49: £42,154 – £50,927 50–59: £43,000 – £50,284 I still think is poor & it’s lower than it was twenty years ago (which are different stories) but lumping 18 year olds in with 60 year olds has destroyed policy decisions for decades now and must stop. As must thinking 6th richest economy means we are 6th richest individually. We are not, we are about 30th, very middle ranking.

Dear @RachelReevesMP. Can you explain to me why MP's on £98'599 per year from April, are getting a £3'300 cost of living payment too? Most "working people" are lucky if they earn £30k, and they have to pay the cost of heating their homes and pay their own rent and mortgage too.

@clairec007 Your travel sagas kill me. 🤣 You have the worst luck in the world!

Travel saga .. traveling back from Prague via Amsterdam, on approach we had an abortive landing.. wait for it. Due too the previous plane losing something on landing. They had to clear the runway to ensure safe to land. .. long queue for taxi.. just made the last train.

@jordanreiter @americanafoid @xevekiah You’re right, women tend to feel ill/tired/nauseous, have ‘heartburn’ and feel wrong, sometimes arm ache. Many don’t experience any chest discomfort.

@americanafoid @xevekiah Just want to clarify: are these the symptoms that women specifically get? Because my understanding is that one of the reasons women don't always realize they're having a heart attack is because the "standard" symptoms are generally experienced by men.

I once watched a girl be medically ignored in an ER. She was folded over in a plastic chair, arms wrapped around her chest, breathing like every breath hurt. Her skin looked ashy, sweat pooling at her temples. She kept saying her arm felt wrong and that she was dizzy, like she might black out. When the nurse asked her pain level and she said 8, the nurse hesitated and asked if she was anxious. The girl said no, said this felt different. The nurse typed something into the computer, nodded, and called the next patient. The doctor came in later, listened to her heart for barely a moment, then asked if she’d been stressed. Then if she was on her period. He said young women don’t usually have heart problems and told her it was probably anxiety or reflux. He suggested antacids and breathing exercises. I watched her try to explain, her voice shrinking every time she was dismissed. She was sent home. A few hours later, paramedics rushed her back in on a stretcher. She was having a heart attack. I heard a doctor ask why she waited so long to come in.

@TinyWriterLaura @americanafoid @xevekiah Absolutely. My parents’ presentations were chalk and cheese, it’s only because we knew the differences that we identified my Mum’s heart attack and called 999.

@americanafoid @xevekiah part of the reason a lot of women struggle to get taken seriously when they’re having a heart attack is that doctors are trained to recognise the symptoms more commonly associated with men’s heart attacks than with women’s - the issue starts in their education

@americanafoid @xevekiah Women tend not to present with the ‘classic’ symptoms, heart burn type pain, feeling ill/tired and aching arm are the most common signs in women. All my mum could say was that she felt awful and her arm ached, much like the young woman. She was grey and sweaty.

In situations like this, it is extremely advantageous to be able to specifically describe your symptoms. “I feel a heavy pressure in my chest that keeps coming and going. I’m suddenly short of breath and overwhelmingly tired. I feel nauseated and sweaty, with an aching pain in my jaw and upper back. One arm feels heavy, and I’m lightheaded with a strong sense that something is wrong.” If you can list off all your symptoms which are the hallmark of your condition, it is much more difficult for them to dismiss.

@Autistic_Lauren Definitely.

Asking autistics, have you ever been able to recognise another person as autistic without them telling you?

@ADHDForReal I forgot. Again.

@benonwine Milk?

Settle a debate. What do you call this?

@adamfare1996 Being told you don’t earn enough and have to prove you are looking for more work while LCW to is great fun too. I don’t work more because I can’t. Thankfully, they backed off after making me send in a CV.

@vikielll_sg Finally a use for AI that I’m all for.

@sebastiansalek @HamptonCaught The graph literally shows that for the Met hospital admissions for knife assaults in 2022/23 are less than in 2016/17, exactly what OP said. OP never mentioned trends or compared London knife crime to national average.

@HamptonCaught Red line here:

London is thriving. And the right can’t stand it. They talk down our capital constantly, but the city is measurably becoming a better place to live. 6 facts that shatter their doom narrative:

@go93671 @AndreaS53965159 @seely3 @CraigMurrayOrg So they’re working and paying taxes AND claiming unemployment benefits?

@AndreaS53965159 @seely3 @CraigMurrayOrg They work for deliveroo

News from civil servants preparing Liz Kendall's pensions review. Kendall wants to look at "phasing in" the pension starting with 25% of a pension at age 68 and getting 100% of the pension at age 72. This will be represented as not affecting the triple lock. It's already the worst pension in Europe.

@stomababe He is intelligent and knowledgable. He knew exactly what he was doing. Autism is not an excuse for his behaviour. Autism makes me socially awkward, not abusive. Autism is not an excuse for sexual harassment.

Nope, sorry, autism is not and will never be an excuse or reasoning for sexually inappropriate behaviour. There is absolutely no excuse or reasoning for treating any woman with conduct that is threatening, abusive, or makes them uncomfortable. 😡

@Akamamom Oh blimey, I hope she is home again with you soon x

If you’re the praying kind, could you please say a prayer for my daughter? She collapsed late last night and we had to call the paramedics to take her to the hospital. She’s got bilateral pulmonary blood clots and will be in the ICU for a while. ♥️

@furious_mum @KirstieMAllsopp @Keir_Starmer This is exactly why ADHD has been missed in so many women and girls. Many late diagnosed women with ADHD were misdiagnosed with depression, anxiety and personality disorders because the symptoms tend to present differently than in boys.

@nendimagination @KirstieMAllsopp @Keir_Starmer That sounds more like depression.

I really hope someone shows this to @Keir_Starmer today. Turning ADHD into a money spinner is completely wrong, if there is any money available it should go to schools, not to parents, and certainly not to adults with ADHD.
