Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

I’m also interested in speaking to parents who are helping their kids with student fees and are happy to share how they did it. Was it grandparents, investments, did you have an inheritance? #journorequest

Went to the shops and what did I get?! No nice new clothes or bag or shoes in the sales. Nope. Acne cream for the teen and sink unblocked. 🙃

RIP Sophie Kinsella - way too young - 😕

Case study: looking for women in midlife who are suffering from pension anxiety. Also, #journorequest for UK experts able to talk to me about rising financial and/or pension anxiety among women.

We really need to start talking about what a privilege it is to be able to exercise daily. It’s not something most people can afford or make the time for or actually be able to do physically so I’m just a bit tired of reading about it.

Families are being failed by a lack of SEND support - the system is woefully inadequate. @propjourn.bsky.social reports on EHCPs and tribunals. #SEND communitylivingmagazine.com/how-to-get-a...

I’m still looking for data on why over 55s are taking their pensions early - data not anecdotal evidence #journorequest

If you want to know what gaslighting is go and take a look at the trolling on @london.gov.uk’s social media. I suspect that most Asian people will be able to relate on some level.

Normal People author Sally Rooney has been advised she 'can no longer safely enter the UK without potentially facing arrest' due to her support of Palestine Action 👇

Side note: that must have been quite a pad for £800k

My primary impression of Rayner's arrangements regarding her child was what an amazing example of a "good divorce" this was and how dedicated both her and her ex husband obviously are to their co-parenting responsibilities and their children's welfare. I have not seen this mentioned anywhere once.

A shame to see lovely Hove hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons…

Hello people who like to wave St George’s flags in front of hotels housing immigrants. Might be best not to do so while blaring our Queen songs…do they know he was the child of immigrants?! The mind just continues to boggle…

Different ethnicities have different challenges around weight loss. Notice how a lot of the judgment towards Serena being open about using jabs to lose weight is coming from white women.

I’m looking for Menopause doctors who prescribe weight loss jabs to women
