I see the Tories have managed to make a massive grift out of free school meals.
Featuring the ex CEO of Diageo, Paul Walsh, who used to work with a current cabinet minister. Giving out £6 worth of nutritionally deficient food for £30 cost to taxpayer and the rest goes on 'admin costs'.
See @RoadsideMum for more details
Shockingly*, one contract was given to Edenred with no tender.

*not shockingly
Oh, and a certain Priti Patel was a director at Diageo...
Now where have I seen her name before?

There is going to be a mental health crisis unlike anything we've seen before. PTSD will be widespread, and look who we've got running the country.
When soldiers return from active duty, the TRIM (Trauma Risk Management) system helps deal with issues arising from acclimating back into civilian life. It's designed to provide support in the aftermath of traumatic events. Which is what we have here, on a huge scale.
It won't just be frontline healthcare workers either. I fear a massive trauma response from the wider population, as and when Covid is brought under control and we begin to return to whatever 'normal' looks like at that point.

Tories don't think they're behaving callously towards families in poverty. The genuinely believe, in the way believe things you've been explicitly and implicitly told throughout your life, that poverty is a *punishable moral failing*. 1/
Bad decisions by parents. Drink and drugs. Layabout attitude. Wanting something for nothing.

It's ideological moralising, pure and simple.
(Hypocrisy too, since the majority of these traits are in plain sight amongst the already wealthy.)
I grew up in a pretty Tory environment. I believed - again - through explicit and implicit messages - that there were 'common people' and there were 'nice people'. Nice people didn't have strong regional accents. Or get drunks. Or were poor.

It's a sad day when the newest crop of graphic designers don't remember the original memes

Or this was designed by someone who absolutely DOES remember it, and knows they can get away with it b/c almost nobody else does.
Also: that person has REALLY long arms.

WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN
The guidelines for exercise have been consistently terrible. In seeking to be less complex, they've created confusion and loopholes. It's also clear they didn't even vaguely try to focus group the recommendations.
A single website location with a decision tree would sort this.
The overarching message should be "do the absolute minimum possible to achieve your exercise aim".
i.e. if you've got a fucking park two streets away, don't drive to the Peak District.

Someone was complaining about Starmer not being pro-Rejoin enough and I was about to add my voice to that when it occurred to me I was being selfish.
For people living in poverty, a lack of opportunity to pop over to France isn't terribly important.
We need to get the Tories out. And, absent replacing FPTP, that's Labour. If Starmer's softly softly approach provides a path to a Lab gov, we can wait a little to go aggressively after Rejoin. People's lives are at risk from the current administration. That needs to change.
Yes, I've been disappointed by things I've seen and heard from him, but I've also been impressed with his cold takedowns of Johnson's failings at PMQs. No Labour leader is ever going to satisfy everyone; the toxic culture of perfectionism will ensure that. In this regard...

This stalemate over the nip rainbow has been going on for about thirty minutes. They're both ripped to the tits. Image
