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 👉

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

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. 🙌 @michelleisawolf . via @YouTube.

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

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. 💔.

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.

Given the wrong gate info at Madrid airport and missed my @Iberia_en partnered flight with @British_Airways - despite no screens, no PA it’s apparently my fault and I’m being asked for £1400 to get home. How is this allowed? #BritishAirways.

Hello @British_Airways can you help? I’m trying to change a flight and the website won’t allow me to do it, and the call centre is not taking calls. I need your help to get around the wall.
