"Whatever women wear, wherever they go, whatever they drink, they retain the right to say no and demand justice in the criminal courts when sexual predators act without their consent"

Amen.

Can we stop treating people who work in cleaning, caregiving, or other poorly paid jobs as though they’ve somehow failed at life? Society depends on their work every single day. Your salary tells me what the market pays you. It doesn’t tell me how much respect you deserve.

Getting older just involves 4 things: 1) everyone you love starts dying 2) having to accept losing your looks, waistband and possibly hair 3) having to decide what to have to eat 3 X a day forever and 4) being in a constant state of OH WHAT THE FUCK NOW
All while still feeling 23

The hidden tax measure in the Budget is huge for people paying tax under self-assessment - sole traders, partners, landlords, retired investors.
For 6th April 2028-29, you currently pay 50% of your income tax late in the tax year in question (in January 2029), 50% just after the year end (in July 2029) with any make-up payment in January 2030.
Under the new proposals you will pay your tax perhaps monthly or quarterly (TBC) from April 2029 onwards. A rough analysis suggests the impact is to draw about 50% of your tax bill forward, a huge cashflow boost to HMRC and a significant funding issue for the self-employed.
The Treasury recognises this, and expects to raise £1.3bn of additional tax in 29/30 as a result of this change.
The cashflow impact of the accelerated charge will send some businesses to the wall.

Nobody in the Western Hemisphere wants to hear Trump whine,
But Putin’s got patience and plenty of time.
Ninety long minutes of stroking his pride,
While the ghosts of the KGB laughed on the side.
A birthday wish, some flattery, a friendship so true,
Putin knows exactly what a fragile ego will do.
Why bother with spies when the fool’s on the phone?
Just flatter his ego and he’ll never leave you alone.
The Kremlin must laugh till their faces turn blue—
The easiest intelligence operation they ever drew.
just heard on @BBCBreaking that local residents alerted the emergency services to the vans. We've got top class intelligence services yet its the village curtain twitchers that save the day .The power of the community WhatsApp and Facebook groups should not be underestimated 😅
