This is an important campaign which we will work cross party to amplify.
Every seat in this stadium represents a child who could benefit from the stability of a loving home.
We’re launching a national campaign to help create 10,000 new foster places and give more children the chance to thrive.

Removing comedy sketches because the iPlayer curators assume the public can’t handle intent or context isn’t protecting anyone - it’s just lowering the bar until nobody’s allowed to be funny without a signed risk assessment.

I proudly present the internet's nerdiest and prettiest tax calculator.
Other calculators just calculate your tax. This one calculates your tax now, and under various Budget proposals. And draws a pretty chart showing the marginal and effective rates for *everyone*.

I've cleaned up this gorgeous Victorian photograph of Dickensian London, overshadowed by the sheer magnitude & dominance of St Paul's Cathedral. It was photographed by John Leighton 166 years ago, back in 1859.
I think the mooring poles in the foreground almost lend a Venetian air to the image, and the definition is so high, one can almost zoom right into those warehouse windows!

Bernard’s birthday is all the excuse we need to post this again. One of the greatest singles of the era (or any era!). This version on Jools is one of all time best live television performances.

A true love story 💚
Barn owls mate for life, with the male wooing the female by bringing her food. If she’s interested, they exchange calls and displays before bonding for life, sharing parental responsibilities.

Here in the UK 🇬🇧, I’m proposing the Safer Phones Bill, a new law to make social media and smartphones less addictive for those under 16. Change is afoot around the world and I’m pleased the debate will be happening in the UK in 2025 too. Saferphonesbill.co.uk
