I just had to clip this and post it. She actually does say this. “I’ve seen children hit by a bus and they’ve bounced up and asked if they could have a milkshake please”

And it also strikes me as deeply un-conservative to support a handout that disincentives hard work. We know from research that receiving a large inheritance significantly increases the probability of taking early retirement jstor.org/stable/27867546

Cats in a sack.
Lord Chadlington has links to SG Recruitment. They supplied two million gowns at £11.95 each, at a total cost to the government of £23.9m. This was a rip off as the average cost for gowns at the time was just £5.87!

Israel seems to be one big echo chamber. What an utter trunt.
I’m compiling a Footsoldiers of the Genocidal Patriarchy thread: "The settlers want to see the sea. That is a logical and romantic demand. Gaza must be erased so that settlers can see the sea,” Daniella Weiss, head of Nahala Settler Movement

just for the record there's no finer, more upstanding, intelligent, handsome, moral and elegantly dressed human being on the planet than @piersmorgan (joking obvs) But at least we can all agree he has a terrible memory #PiersMorgan theguardian.com/media/2023/d…

It's a shame that #NickBrown has had to resign from the #LabourParty. I met him during the foot and mouth crisis in 2001 when I was a political reporter for the #BBC. He was kind and generous with his time. Labour is a dismal org full of good people theguardian.com/politics/202…

If your cod-Latin dialogue needs spicing up hire Frankie #Romaneseuntdomus
The manuscript I’m currently prepping just included a couple of dialogue lines in some Google Translate-ass Latin and I WAS NOT PHYSICALLY ABLE TO STOP MYSELF from pausing proceedings and putting together a more accurate translation. I’m lame, I’m so lame. Please hire me.
