Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

This week Paul Scholes shared his experiences of caring for his son alongside his professional role and it resonated with us. In our economy - that devalues and isolates care - the challenges he faced are shared by millions, but not everyone has the resources he has to fall back on.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

My reflections on this positive event, it feels there's a real opportunity for us to shift the narrative on care. We're so keen to create a hopeful future full of abundance for all of us, it's good to see others feel the same.

What a vile individual. This is low even for him. You don’t use recognising Palestine - or anywhere else - as a *threat* to another country. You either have a sincere conviction that statehood is valid and deserved or you don’t. Unless of course you are a hollow vessel with no convictions at all.

I'm watching this event. A few thoughts - this may end up a thread. I've worked in this space a long time and I could be watching this 20 years ago. David's points in particular are outdated - his point about "weak families" when referring to non-nuclear families is deeply disrespectful. 🧵#carers

The scale of child poverty in the UK is abhorrent. 4.5 million children live in poverty while the government equivocate about making 'difficult decisions'. Here's an easy decision: lift the two-child benefit limit. It would immediately bring 350k children out of poverty.

Blimey, these Labour proposals on PIP & UC are dire. But listening to Badenoch speak, Tories are terrifying - the idea of "deserving" & "undeserving". Only evidence to present - Taxpayers Alliance! Give me strength. Thankfully not in power, but mustn't be distracted into thinking this bill is good.
