What a great idea
Wow: all 750,000 Germans turning 18 this year get 200 euro to spend on any cultural good: concerts, theater, movies, musical instruments, books, records etc. It'll cost 100 million euro and is given in recognition of what young people lost during pandemic.

Comparisons with 1930s Germany are not acceptable, says national broadcaster, as it complies with demands from the ruling party to take a prominent government critic off air.

I’m really not sure how helpful these polls are. And I am, obviously, one of the many people being constantly proved right by them. The numbers won’t move the political needle for at least five years. Such is the stranglehold of fact-free, right-wing media on the discourse.

Labour and the Lib Dems not standing in places where they know they won't win isn't a sign of some sort of dirty deal being arranged. It's just a logical consequence of First Past the Post. If the Tories don't like it, they can change the voting system.

NEWS FLASH! It’s not a dislike of “hard maths” that puts girls off studying or pursuing careers in maths + physics.
It’s outdated and damaging stereotypes that close doors on many talented girls and women.

A quick thread on in the importance of being careful what data you share - even if you're the Queen. Today, Her Maj tweeted this lovely picture, gor bless er, etc. You might think that the contents of the red box would be official business. And you'd be right. 1/6

If you’re against Cancel Culture, why are you banning demonstrations, stripping people of citizenship, selling off TV networks you don’t like, neutering the Electoral Commission, proroguing Parliament, and enforcing voting restrictions on those who don’t have an ID card?

Phrases that mean nothing will happen:
Leave it with me
I’ll have a word
I’ll see what I can find
Consider it done
I’ll make some calls
I’ll think about it
Certainly a possibility
Let’s come back to that
Good idea
Maybe
It’s on my list
Might see you down there
I’ll look into it

Did you know you can ask for 20mph in your area (Southampton residents)? Click here: southampton.gov.uk/news/arti… asap as needs to do submitted with supporting signatures in Dec. Your justification could be proximity to schools, dangerous route for people walking or on bikes, etc.

What a great example of the political will needed to produce infrastructure for all modes of travel. Let’s hope more follow this example 👏🏻👏🏻
