I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

Caller to @lbc.co.uk just now "we've imported a 5th column" ... absolutely no push back

In May of 1940 there was a mass panic in Britain - stirred up by the tabloid press - about 'fighting aged men' who had come to Britain as 'refugees' posing a threat to the women and children of this country - and essentially forming a 'fifth column' that could, at any moment rise up against everyone

Purple jumped out at me today. But Green is disappointing.

In 1963 my mum sent off for this flooring sample. It’s now entering its 64th year as a teapot stand.

💈 Today is the first reading of my Presentation Bill seeking mandatory registration for all hairdressers and barbershops in England.

The Bill has genuine cross-party support and was developed on the back of an excellent Parliamentary event, co-hosted by local barber Mike Taylor...

The real problem Britain faces is unlicensed fades - this is a true social crisis that must be stopped. Unlike, say, UNLICENSED CHILD SOCIAL CARE WHICH HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND IS BANKRUPTING COUNCILS AND DOING *THIS* TO VULNERABLE KIDS:
From the BBC article "Why illegal children's homes are being paid up to £2m per child by councils", May 2026: The bungalow doesn't look much like a children's home. A sheet of privacy film wrongly placed outside a window is peeling. Inside, the wallpaper is flaking, carpets are frayed and doors are broken. The children's home is unregistered and therefore illegal but the provider is charging a council elsewhere in the country £13,000 a week to care for a vulnerable teenage girl. She requires the support of three full-time members of staff. There are no books, toys or games. Just a few miles away, another illegal children's home is being run from a council house. Its tenant is subletting the property to a company that is also charging a different local authority thousands of pounds a week.

I'm not a religious person, per se, but I feel the need to thank some higher power for the prospect of Philomena Cunk interviewing Michael Bay. www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...
