very much relate to this! sitting in my one bed flat, which still hasn’t gone below 28, trying desperately to keep my baby cool 🙃 meanwhile boomers in their draughty houses with gardens are complaining about losing the winter fuel allowance!

i would love to see some analysis of gender make up of council leadership following the local elections, now the AGMs are done. it certainly *seems* like there are more male leaders and cabinet members than previously but that’s just my impression, not backed up by stats.

a lot of councils are now being run by people who’ve never even been councillors before - they’re about to find out they have a lot less money and a lot less power than they thought!

A gold star to Laurence Williams of Bexley, who is standing for election this May for the Greens - which I think is his tenth political party. It takes some political journey to stand for both UKIP and Rejoin EU. candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/person/6615/...

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

I really don't know what to do about a situation where a plurality of the group that (rightly!) takes up most government spending thinks that it is unrepresented in politics.

sitting in a pitch black silent room at lewisham hospital, as the lights in the designated windowless breastfeeding room (ie a cupboard) are on a ten minute timer 🙃 not ideal when you’re stuck under a nursing baby! what a classic NHS experience
