Kate Middleton has binned the RF family off and is touring Britain in a converted Transit van. She's selling dreamcatchers made from her own hair on Etsy to make ends meet. Fact.
Apparently, people are HORRIFIED that Jack Monroe doesn't work for free. Presumably, these are the same people who tell benefits claimants to "just get a job". Knobheads.
1. Hello Matthew Parris! I'm Autistic, ADHD and have Recurrent Depressive Disorder. I have two degrees, have worked since I was 16 and have never claimed benefits. I have worked in health and social care for 20 years and, often supporting ND people and people with...
If you're victim-blaming or dismissing Katie Price after an apparent incident of Domestic Abuse, you should probably fuck the fuck off you rancid little misogynists....

Seriously, nothing says my kids are my priority like slagging their mum off on social media instead of feeding them. Well done you 👍🏻

At some point she’ll take her creepy latex mask off, Scooby-Doo style, and underneath will be the terrifying visage of Katie Hopkins.
Matthew Parris cites PIP as an example of a generous benefit which encourages claimants not to work. He is an idiot:
1. Personal Independence Payments (formally known as Disability Living Allowance) are intended for anyone with a disability, irrespective of whether they are cont.
Wait - what have Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe got to apologise to Rowling for? They were in the films of her books when they were kids, she doesn't own them. That's some really weird feudal shit there...
The Laurence Fox meltdown de jour shows exactly how women's experiences are shut down and gaslit in every arena.
BP: asked direct question about co-parenting. Gives honest but fairly unremarkable comment on HER lived experience.
LF: SHE'S LYING.
Other men: BURN THE WITCH.
Huw Edwards has done nothing wrong, yet he's been hounded to the point of needing a hospital admission. Didn't people learn from Caroline Flack? It's all too easy for people to use words like 'paedophile' and 'groomer' and 'nonce' with scant evidence and no consequences.
Much being made of Huw Edwards, who has a history of Depression, not appearing on TV for the last few days. Is it not just remotely possible that he's been hounded so appallingly on SM, he's now too unwell to work?
I guess one of the differences between James Acaster and Ricky Gervais is the direction in which they punch. So, by association that says something about the people who like them - or not.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't

Small point - dentists closed their provision throughout the pandemic and get a 3% pay rise. Social workers, who worked throughout the pandemic, going into people's homes all day, every day, do not.
8. ... minimum you need just to stay alive.
Anyway, Matthew, you have a nice day now. Carry on whoring yourself to your Tory paymasters and hope to God you're never in the position of the people you attack for cash.
No, wait, Disease X is just a made up name for a hypothetical contagion with the potential to become another pandemic. IT DOESN'T EXIST. It's for planning purposes only. It could just as easily have been called Simon or Felicity.

Funniest thing on Twitter today is the absolute screaming tantrums 'some people' are having over Jo Brand contributing to a C4 prog about a football match from FIFTY-FOUR YEARS AGO.
@LozzaFox
Is it fair on your son to start making his status as a child subject to proceedings, and possibly in need of medication, on social media? Do you have his permission to discuss him? His mother's permission?

In this dreadfully divided country there is still one thing that unites us......................................................... laughing at the Laurence Fox damages
Another day, another barrage of vile racism and misogyny aimed at Diane Abbott from both sides of the political divide. Don't let anyone tell you that identity-based inequalities don't exist while this abuse still appears. And don't let anyone tell you it's confined to the Right.
Every day I am stopped repeatedly in the street, in cafes or on the tube by people who say (often tearfully)
That Laurence Fox is a massive cvnt, isn't he?
Then we all stand up and applaud.

Today I asked myself for the first time ever.
What is the point in speaking for a silent majority?

1. Teachers aren't there to provide free child care. They're there to educate your children. It's your responsibility to look after your kids.
2. Strikes are meant to be inconvenient. That's the point.
If you're using "working class white girls" as an antidote to Nish Kumar's quip; you don't understand intersectionality, you don't understand role played by white, male structures and agencies in those episodes and you don't get to re-use those girls for your own ends.
We’re changing our processes to make sure those with well managed or less severe physical or mental health conditions aren't automatically written off as “not fit for work”.
Instead, where appropriate, they will be supported to work with the adaptations they need.
3. It has been recognised and described (albeit sometimes inaccurately) for over a century. ADHD brains are structurally different to NT brains and reuptake neurotransmitters more quickly leading to a variety of experiences and traits for ADHDers. Many of us mask behaviours...
