Thanks everyone for your kind comments about my attempt to hold the representative from the Institute of Economic Affairs to account on #PoliticsLive today. But it shouldn't be up to guests to ask who funds them. Here is the Editorial Guideline, which the BBC flouts every day.

A year ago, I started following how the cost of living crisis was playing out at an Oldham school, checking in with the fantastic @NewmanRC_Head every few weeks. I ended up learning a lot about the British state, and its education system, to boot. on.ft.com/3KYWPWv

Something I learned after my mom died to soon (of early onset alzheimer’s): When it comes to getting footage of your family on video as a parent, it’s *way* more important to record YOURSELF than to record your kids. Here’s why: (/1)

Thread (1/16) The far right seized on the 75th Anniversary to claim that it is time to replace the NHS with a privatised, social insurance model. This thread explains what they want, how they lie to us and what we can do about it.

Just this.
For those of us with ADHD, the shame of its impact on our lives can be overwhelming. It's like we inhabit a secret world, somehow managing to find a way to keep things going, despite the simplest tasks feeling gargantuan. Most people don't understand this. I don't blame them for not understanding it; I just think they would be shocked if they could get a glimpse into how we think and live.

A reminder to anyone watching #TheGreatEscape that when Steve McQueen makes his escape leap on his motorbike, he is being played by a stuntman. But McQueen loved riding motorbikes, so he is actually playing one of the Nazis chasing himself.

Fascinating insight here on what goes on 24/7 to keep it working.
I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?" As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.
I said goodbye to a patient a few years ago. She didn’t die, she just got old. I treat patients to age 21 and they move on. When they do, I joke, “well, I did my job! I kept you alive until adulthood!” With this kid, it was not a joke. 1/

This dinner lady says she cries going into work - because she has to deny children school lunch.
