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?

[Melanie Rickey @theenoughness]

“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

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Incredible speech by Rachel.

With her as Chancellor, Labour will bring growth back to Britain and make working people better off.

"I’ve experienced two versions of sobriety. The first was stopping drinking. The second was managing my spinning head."

Big up to @joinclubsoda #millegooch @Independent

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

@SaulStaniforth He just doesn’t listen!

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

Generation burnout, here's why overachieving is overrated https://t.co/uYnnhZoILh

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%.

[Melanie Rickey @theenoughness]

Even @piersmorgan has called @LozzaFox a “disgusting piece of misogynistic trash” after this vile rant, and he has been suspended from GB News. 👏🏻 @AvaSantina 👏🏻

[Ava-Santina @AvaSantina]

Laurence Fox just did a whole speech on GB News on why men apparently won’t shag me ?

[Hugo Rifkind @hugorifkind]

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

@Berlinger I bought my first pair in 1996, everyone wore them then, too. #blundstone

[Melanie Rickey @theenoughness]

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

[Steve Allen @steveallenshow]

Some news from me,firstly thanks for all your questions. My contract with LBC is up shortly and following discussions , I’m stepping down from LBC today I’d like to thank you all for listening over the last 44 years it’s been an honour and a privilege.

[Melanie Rickey @theenoughness]

With huge and grateful thanks to the social media team @British_Airways we found a way through all the red tape and we’re coming home today! Thank you Oliver ✨
