Councils have essentially become social and children's care funding agencies, which, as most people don't use those services, means they don't really understand where all their council tax is going...
In 2010-11 Hampshire County Council spent £381 million on social care - equivalent to 53 per cent of its budget. In 2024, it estimates it'll spend £809 million - equivalent to 83 per cent of its budget. That's unsustainable. From the FT:

Robert Jenrick, who is the favourite to be the next Conservative party leader, received £75,000 from a firm which has no employees, has never made a profit and has £332,000 in debts after taking a loan from an untraceable British Virgin Islands company tortoisemedia.com/2024/09/20…

🔥 Tim Farron absolutely bang on here about refugees. Govt incompetence has caused demonisation, societal stress, vast costs & inefficiencies, while also removing any genuine deterrence.

The prospect of a load of sociopathic billionaire narcissists all trapped together on a planet with unbreathable air and soil that is literally bleach and rust is utterly delicious.

It's often overlooked but a simple way to become ridiculously valuable at a company is the ability to do what you say you'll do and take complete ownership of your responsibilities.

Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the greatest male swimmer in history. Meanwhile, female athletes with genetic differences are legally discriminated against and harassed to no end. This is not about “protecting women in sports” - this is about protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is.

Let’s do this. As I’ve said in the past, nothing makes a statement on important news close to the newspaper front page. Across America, almost every editor went with the simple fact, “Guilty.” Let’s start with the biggest circulation. /1

Is there a boy's club making dumb decisions to block the likes of @faizashaheen and @HackneyAbbott ? Starmer has done so much right, but this is a terrible look and he needs to get a grip.

Need to start the day with a grin? The German name of Rhubarb is Rhabarber and if you mix it with the name Barbara you can do an amazing kid's rap: youtu.be/ZYkBf0dbs5I
