He's right too, I find myself oddly drawn to these absolutely ridiculous flamingo heels...
@brucefenton No, you misunderstand. A simple heel stretches the calf, tilts the hips and makes a woman's legs and ass look even better than normal. Many men do appreciate that. This kind of stuff, however, is predominantly for other women.

For context. The UK’s minimum wage journey since 2015 now makes it a big outlier to the rest of the OECD.
BREAKING: Millions of people earning minimum wage will get a pay rise next year, the government has announced. Read the full story 🔗 https://t.co/R8wBOwbjIr

Do these people not know that dividends are paid after Corporation Tax, and salaries before? Or do they not care?
Dividends are taxed at marginal rates of 8.75%, 33.75%, and 39.35%, no national insurance is levied. Wages taxed at 20%-45% +NIC. Aligning taxation of dividends with wages could raise £6bn a year. Even higher if national insurance is also charged. https://t.co/1AC1piNUVU

@SaulStaniforth Successive governments did, by asking the bond market to fund their spending. Don’t want that? Run a surplus.

The tragedy of this is it makes the foxes more vulnerable to their apex predator, the lawyer in a kimono.
Has anyone studied foxes in Britain to see if this has happened too? My sense is that foxes seem slightly tamer, or at less scared of humans; some will let me walk right past rather than running off

Politicians should face punishment for breaking stupid rules, they should face harsher punishment than the rest of us. Because they have allowed these stupid rules to exist.

@darioperkins @APHClarkson It looks to me that the UK is positioning itself to be the bridge between the US and the EU on the culture war. So stupid ideas can travel more freely

I'd say it has nothing to do with the coverage of Gaza, which I don't think most people care much about, nor do I think that it's because the traditional media are biased, even though they certainly are. If anything, I think it's because they aren't biased enough, because people
Fascinating drop in traffic of the traditional media. I wonder how much this has to do with their clearly biased Gaza coverage destroying trust in traditional media, and the new space this has created for other sources of news

Very amused by Times Radio trying to explain the difference between a limited company and an LLP. A bit like a dog trying to explain Norway to another dog.

DWP research: 41% of health-related benefit claimants are on an NHS wait list for treatment. Of those out of work, 50% say their job prospects hinge on getting that care. This vicious cycle as disabilty gets cemented by lack of care but psychologised as a willpower problem.
@Shrink_at_Large I'd love to know the stats on people claiming disability benefits because they're waiting for treatment. This must be a huge number, and with waits of over 2 years for many. Especially for mental health support. The best way to reduce disability benefits is improving the NHS

So Chris Whitty now admits it wasn’t a great idea to confine millions of Brits indoors to fight a respiratory virus it was very hard to catch outdoors. “It happened almost by accident,” says the Covid scientific genius. No words.

Yay, magic money tree will pay us the same to work less...
It's time for a 4-day week! A 4 day work week with no loss of pay could transform millions of lives and improve workers’ rights!

It kind of plays into the hands of people who say government "can just print more" when you can make a £3bn error in the spreadsheet and no-one even notices. Whereas if I borrow an extra £300 from the bank its not a matter of conjecture or calculation, I either did or did not
Rachel Reeves has a bit more wriggle room in next month's budget after ONS announced that mistakes in recent public finances data meant govt borrowing had been overstated by a cumulative £3bn. https://t.co/Vst99Gveso
