If I have daughters? If I tried to sing a hymn within the first few breaths If the second time you didn't even breathe, which meant I wasn't allowed to either If pride in who you are and who you'll be, Then in the end, I know you're greater than the sum of your parts 🟩⬜🟪

@MartinSLewis 🤷 I keep telling my folks to blow it on themselves (they pretty much are doing that TBF)* I usually love your polls But in this case If someone is well off, they don't need it If you didn't help the other when you were alive why should they care when you're gone #TohaveEnough

Today’s Poll: If a couple had two adult children - one financially very successful and one struggling - should their Will leave their estate 50-50, or divide it more based on need? Which comes CLOSEST to your view in this hypothetical?

I wonder if one day people will revive old ways But then the conglomerates will claim intellectual property rights 🤷 #fairtrade

I'm always impressed When people do their job well Their pride, professionalism and skill on show for everyone to see The current incumbent will not be there for ever And in what comes after Will you be able to hold up your head?

This reporter refused to be shushed: Yesterday Mariam Khan (@MKhan47) was the TV pool representative aboard Air Force One, meaning she was there on behalf of all the major networks. Khan brought up the fact that "your PAC put out a fundraising email" using photos taken at a dignified transfer of US service members killed in Kuwait. She asked: "Do you think that's an appropriate email to send?" Trump said yes, and that he didn't see the email, then defended himself, then asked, "Who are you with?" Trump genuinely didn't recognize Khan — it was actually her first time aboard Air Force One with him. (She reported from Capitol Hill for ten years and recently switched beats to cover the State Department, Pentagon and foreign affairs.) When she answered Trump's question and said ABC, he said, "I don't want any more from ABC," and looked around the plane for other questioners. But Khan was undeterred. She tried asking about the deaths of US service members. He didn't respond. She later said, "Can you explain why we’re sending 5,000 marines and sailors?" and he replied with the shush, adding, "You're a very obnoxious person." Khan kept trying — recognizing, again, that she was there on behalf of CNN, Fox and other networks. She asked about the Pentagon investigation into the missile strike at the school in Minab, Iran. He said, "We don't know." She asked about the deaths of service members again. He ignored her. Khan was exemplary. She was, as one ABC colleague said, "steady as can be." She was respectful and persistent. She refused to be shushed.

“**Very tight summary of Joanna Hardy's thread:** A barrister uses a realistic hypothetical — a driver in rain at night causes a fatal collision with a cyclist due to careless speed (not drink/phone) — to highlight proposed UK reforms: - Ending the right to elect **jury trial** for "either way" offences like causing death by careless driving (max 5 years). - Raising magistrates' sentencing power to **2 years**. - Removing automatic right to appeal/re-hear magistrates' decisions. Using the official sentencing guideline (most cases start at 26 weeks–2 years custody), she argues the vast majority of these serious "life lost" cases would be forced into magistrates' courts or judge-alone trials — **not** juries — despite the gravity. Ministers cite minor thefts (whisky/phone) to justify changes, but she warns this quietly removes jury rights in thousands of much graver cases across many offence types.”

Hello, there 👋 Have you heard David Lammy MP and Sarah Sackman MP talking about people stealing bottles of whisky and swiping mobile telephones as examples of people who should not get jury trials? Well. I’d like to tell you a story. 🪡 🧵

@chrislittlewoo8 Why are you asking X what your council tax is spent on - you will have got a leaflet with your annual demand telling you. Mine told me that 61% (most of the rest are costs) is spent on adult & children’s social care. I live in a very affluent area; if you don’t it’ll be more.

Can someone tell me what I’m actually paying for? My latest council tax bill has arrived. £330 a month. For what? We still have to pay extra just to have the garden waste collected. The roads are knackered, the drains are blocked, and every time it rains the streets flood. The local town is now devoid of shops because business rates and parking charges have made it almost impossible to trade and expensive for people to visit. So where is the money going? Councils spend tax revenue on vanity projects like cycle lanes that might see a bike once a decade and disability parking bays that sit empty most of the time. Meanwhile the services we actually rely on continue to decline. We are expected to pay more and more for less and less. And at the same time we all see public money being spent on people who entered this country illegally and have never contributed. So I’ll ask again. What exactly are we paying for? The whole system is broken.
