I’ve signed @TrussellTrust and @jrf_uk’s petition, calling on UK political party leaders to ensure the basic rate of Universal Credit covers the cost of life’s essentials. Add your name and join the campaign to guarantee #OurEssentials 👉 action.trusselltrust.org/gua…
Asked how his country has come top of the @unitednations World Happiness Report for six consecutive years, Finnish professor of sustainable wellbeing, Arto O Salonen, says the answer lies in “knowing when you have enough” What do you think of this mind-set?
“There is no hope.. without the peace that comes from knowing you have enough put aside for a rainy day.”
For so many of us the cost of living crisis has stripped away our “enough for a rainy day” to nothing. Good to hear this from @RachelReevesMP

"I’ve experienced two versions of sobriety. The first was stopping drinking. The second was managing my spinning head."
Big up to @joinclubsoda #millegooch @Independent

The idea that, as women, we could have it all feels so absurd now.
We should have been aiming for having enough and feeling enougness all along. The answer is surely in this idea, this conversation. #enoughness

Turns out I couldn’t afford more than 1 child. The generation after me, say they can’t afford children at all.
Weighing up her lifestyle vs the cost of having a child, @CharlieGowans says she’ll never be able to make enough money to have both.

Solutions from @EmmaDabiri - “I do want to work strategically towards a world where children’s brightness isn’t extinguished because inherited beliefs and ideas are allowed to be perpetuated, even unconsciously.”
I’m so bone achingly bored by racism. I really wanted my first Guardian column to be about something I love rather then something I hate. But then this happened, so here we are theguardian.com/commentisfre…
Anyone doing the #GoSoberforOctober thing? As of today I’ve managed 3.5 years, 🏋️♂️ & I’ve learned a f of a lot about what it means to be of an addict persuasion. Chief among it all is that the fear & procrastination is the last frontier to overcome - even when sober. Discuss

So good to see @emmagannon writing about her burnout and turning away from the work no longer serving her mental health. Having it all? Who ever heard of anything so absurd anyway? All is NOT good. Having enough, now that is worth fighting for. #enoughness

More cuts killing off the future of the British arts. @Midwalesopera is where singers cut their teeth on roles, allowing them to expand their skills at a critical stage of their development as singers. 💔 – at Paddington, London
Statement from the Chair of the Board at Mid Wales Opera (27.09.23)
All media enquiries should be directed to [email protected]
ALT 'We are deeply disappointed and indeed shocked at the news that - after 35 years of staging remarkable opera across the length and breadth of Wales - the Arts Council has decided not to offer us multi-annual funding. Obviously, we will be considering our next steps over the coming weeks. This will, however, be a hammer blow for the young artists who gain invaluable career development opportunities from working with us, as well as to audiences in towns and rural communities who have few, if any opportunities to experience live opera. However, this decision has no direct impact on our exciting plans for the next few months which are fully funded. We look forward to welcoming audiences from Barmouth to Abergavenny and from Milford Haven to Bangor to our performances of Berlioz's 'Beatrice and Benedict' (from 13 October to 10 November) and of Macbeth in February and March 2024'. Gareth Williams Chair, Mid Wales Opera
Even @piersmorgan has called @LozzaFox a “disgusting piece of misogynistic trash” after this vile rant, and he has been suspended from GB News. 👏🏻 @AvaSantina 👏🏻 – at London, England

Remarkable to hear Braverman say multiculturalism has failed. She's a British Home Secretary descended from Goan Indians from Mauritius and Kenya, married to a Jewish husband, in a government headed by Britain's first Hindu PM. What would successful multiculturalism look like?

If, for any reason, your curiosity is stirred to know more about Russell Brand and what he's been up to of late, do read @prospect_uk's recent profile of him by @sarahmanavis #russellbrand prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas…
Love him or loathe him, @steveallenshow is a genius broadcaster who can babble away happily to himself (and us) for hours being generally hilarious and often politically incorrect. I always forgave him because his gentle blather helped me fall asleep for years. #steveallen
With huge and grateful thanks to the social media team @British_Airways we found a way through all the red tape and we’re coming home today! Thank you Oliver ✨
Given the wrong gate info at Madrid airport and missed my @Iberia_en partnered flight with @British_Airways - despite no screens, no PA it’s apparently my fault and I’m being asked for £1400 to get home. How is this allowed? #BritishAirways
Hello @British_Airways can you help? I’m trying to change a flight and the website won’t allow me to do it, and the call centre is not taking calls. I need your help to get around the wall.
