I’ve signed @TrussellTrust and @jrf_uk’s petition, calling on UK political party leaders to ensure the basic rate of Universal Credit covers the cost of life’s essentials. Add your name and join the campaign to guarantee #OurEssentials 👉 https://t.co/rXzS1B06e4
Asked how his country has come top of the @unitednations World Happiness Report for six consecutive years, Finnish professor of sustainable wellbeing, Arto O Salonen, says the answer lies in “knowing when you have enough” What do you think of this mind-set?
“There is no hope.. without the peace that comes from knowing you have enough put aside for a rainy day.”
For so many of us the cost of living crisis has stripped away our “enough for a rainy day” to nothing. Good to hear this from @RachelReevesMP#LabourConference23
The idea that, as women, we could have it all feels so absurd now.
We should have been aiming for having enough and feeling enougness all along. The answer is surely in this idea, this conversation. #enoughness

Turns out I couldn’t afford more than 1 child. The generation after me, say they can’t afford children at all.
Weighing up her lifestyle vs the cost of having a child, @CharlieGowans says she’ll never be able to make enough money to have both.

Solutions from @EmmaDabiri - “I do want to work strategically towards a world where children’s brightness isn’t extinguished because inherited beliefs and ideas are allowed to be perpetuated, even unconsciously.”
I’m so bone achingly bored by racism. I really wanted my first Guardian column to be about something I love rather then something I hate. But then this happened, so here we are https://t.co/lGEyp8F4az
Anyone doing the #GoSoberforOctober thing? As of today I’ve managed 3.5 years, 🏋️♂️ & I’ve learned a f of a lot about what it means to be of an addict persuasion. Chief among it all is that the fear & procrastination is the last frontier to overcome - even when sober. Discuss

So good to see @emmagannon writing about her burnout and turning away from the work no longer serving her mental health. Having it all? Who ever heard of anything so absurd anyway? All is NOT good. Having enough, now that is worth fighting for. #enoughness
More cuts killing off the future of the British arts. @Midwalesopera is where singers cut their teeth on roles, allowing them to expand their skills at a critical stage of their development as singers. 💔
@AllisonPearson We need to focus on the future and health of the planet and it’s people by accelerating the move to renewable energy. Not get our knicks in a twist about how the BBC report something. None of the oil drilled will do anyone any favours others than the 0.1%.
Even @piersmorgan has called @LozzaFox a “disgusting piece of misogynistic trash” after this vile rant, and he has been suspended from GB News. 👏🏻 @AvaSantina 👏🏻
Remarkable to hear Braverman say multiculturalism has failed. She's a British Home Secretary descended from Goan Indians from Mauritius and Kenya, married to a Jewish husband, in a government headed by Britain's first Hindu PM. What would successful multiculturalism look like?
If, for any reason, your curiosity is stirred to know more about Russell Brand and what he's been up to of late, do read @prospect_uk's recent profile of him by @sarahmanavis#russellbrand https://t.co/BV4QLp7Vrg
Love him or loathe him, @steveallenshow is a genius broadcaster who can babble away happily to himself (and us) for hours being generally hilarious and often politically incorrect. I always forgave him because his gentle blather helped me fall asleep for years. #steveallen
