What is changing? The government has expanded eligibility for Free School Meals from September 2026. All children in households receiving Universal Credit will be eligible for Free School Meals. I guess they get the odd thing right.

*sigh*

The British government are all like ‘We really have to maintain a subscription to Völkischer Beobachter, cause lots of people read it. We won’t be bullied out of it either!’

Likewise watched Ep 5 last night. It's fierce. And recommended. Alan Cumming is a fucking delight (as always), but oh my.

The speaker on the online course/lecture I'm on is constantly rocking back and forth in his chair towards the camera. It's making me sea-sick.

Am I being overly hopeful in thinking that Farage and his worldwide cronies might have fucked this one up?

Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay so we're taking back all the books that people have read, putting them onto shelves for people to look at, then giving them out again to other people who haven't read them yet. For free. What a system. ❤️ #LoveLibraries #GreenLibraries ♻️

Fuck me. I/we genuinely try to do everything by the book. Paying your gardener via a trust = cunt. A tax barrister. *sigh* Tax barrister’s gardener and ‘lifelong friend’ testify in £2m tax trial www.accountancydaily.co/tax-barriste...

I know I'm biased, but Wharton is a daft omission.

Very much this. Very sad. He was a titan of the scene - and no-one ever had a bad word to say about him.

One day I will successfully seal the zip-lock on a block of cheese. Today is not that day.

Worth reading imho (the replies too)

Right, few scoops of that nice continental lager, quick ruby then off to the protest in my vintage Fila top and my banging Gucci's. Who's with me?

Black cats auditioning for a 1961 horror movie

Also, given Farage is even prepared to say 'Up the 'RA' for 70 quid, it's not remotely true

god I'd love to have been a fly on the wall of that meeting between Starmer and Streeting! (because as a fly my life expectancy would be less than a month and the sweet release of death would save me from hearing more about this tedious fucking Labour political drama)

Yes, I've just been told that Andy Burnham is at Chiswick roundabout.

Ah ha ha ha - that's a beauty

It's such a tell when someone like Suella Braverman uses the word 'actually' "It’s very regrettable, actually, that..."

So the government has been telling us X is dangerous, harmful, full of 'disgusting' content… While also quietly sending 34,000+ people there from official gov.uk pages New exclusive for @theleaduk.bsky.social national.thelead.uk/p/government...

What is it about dishwashers that think they don’t have to dry Tupperware?

You'd think paying many, many thousands of pounds a year to one of the world's larger professional software and information service companies would mean they had the *required* functionality of a corporation tax return (one specific element thereof) ready by 1 April - the mandatory HMRC deadline.

Not just Morris

Truly baffling way to spend tax money on HMRC barristers, only to lose because the marshmallow is too hot to hold when toasted. "We find eating direct from the skewer is more frequently used than taking from skewer and eating with fingers; and s'more is used more than unroasted from the packet."

I'd like more on the White House big shoes thing - not seen or heard owt since the photographs of a week or two back.

I think a badger is the very least you can expect.

A shame that this has turned out not to be true The Athletic: The invitation to Farage was made by an associate of Ashton (CEO) Farage was met by a club executive and then had lunch with Ashton and Luke Werhun (COO) The club gifted the politician six ‘Farage 10’ Ipswich shirts free of charge

Happy Thursday!
