What an embarrassment! In 30 mins tickets for @thestrokes at @PalauSantJordi sell out and immediately appear on @viagogo for more than €5500 per ticket! Not cool, and not rock 'n roll!

We have a real problem in this country with how the press portrays and writes about Muslims.

This story is just another example of that.

It will be no surprise if you follow my work that the Telegraph and Daily Mail are two of the worst offenders🙄

🚘 The chaotic 15-minute school drop-off. A sea of minivans, stressed parents, and idling engines.

What if this daily ritual is a design failure, not a necessity?
What if we put the safety of our children really central?

'Plant flowers🪻. Put in tables🪑. Redirect cars🚗. Kids come out of school and parents are on benches talking. They can joke and play. We’re not closing streets to cars as much as opening them to people.'

$2.1 billion is the equivalent of global military expenditure every 8 hours;

$2.1 billion is the price of one stealth bomber;

$2.1 billion is 1/4 of what the tobacco industry spends on advertising and promotion every single year.

It seems somebody switched the price tags on what is truly valuable in our world.

Rather than simply waiting a few seconds for the train to pass, this entitled cyclist decides to jump over the level crossing, potentially endangering hundreds of people.

Dr. Nara Daubeney PhD, CEO and Co-Founder of BIA member company @phaimpharma, recently joined the @Leaders_Plus #Podcast to share her insights on what it means to redefine success as a #WorkingParent.

🎧 Listen here: Episode 209 – Big Careers, Small Children 🎙️ 👉 https://t.co/amEnttvjoJ

In this episode, she discusses the importance of letting go of guilt, maintaining ambition, and building a fulfilling career without compromising on #FamilyLife. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Drawing from her personal experiences and professional journey, Dr. Daubeney challenges the traditional narrative that working parents must choose between success at home and success at work. Instead, she advocates for a more balanced and realistic view — one that embraces the possibility of thriving in both.👏

Labour said they would redeploy 1,000 work coaches to help deliver intensive employment support to sick and disabled people. It's impossible to do that when DWP are 2,000 work coaches short (according to National Audit Office).

The Richard Tice tweet shown here is a perfect demonstration of how social media makes people stupid. This totally wrong information goes to his followers, who will believe it. Without gatekeepers, all the sheep wander everywhere.

Waiting to get on the #expressbus at #munich airport and the bus drivers foot flew past my nose as he kicked out at a passenger, yhere was no physical threat! Do you greet all passengers in this way? Bus drivers with a temper like this should not be on the road!

On Christmas Day in 1831, 60,000 enslaved Africans carried out the largest uprising in British West Indies history. Their uprising would prove a milestone on the road to emancipation only a few years later.

@bhx_official how come the family queue is the slowest queue at immigration arrivals? Loads of kids waiting together, standing, after flying, is a recipe for disaster.

The mentality that leads people to think this is OK is actually crazy.

These new @lb_southwark council homes (for sale) in Peckham have been empty for over five years. The planning and building of new homes is not the problem.
