Is the police uplift for real? @ukhomeoffice straining every sinew to meet Boris Johnson’s pledge to recruit an extra 20,000 officers in England/Wales by March 31st 2023. On Wednesday, we’ll find out if they’ve hit the target. I expect they have. But don’t be fooled…

Good morning from the Control Room. FAO anyone planning on travelling WB on the M27 this morning between J7 & J5, we are awaiting recovery following a collision involving a boat - there could be some minor delays whilst we await recovery (or the tide to rise high enough). 3554

After only one year of Taliban rule, girls and women have almost disappeared from Afghan society. They are not allowed to travel, to work alone, to go to public parks, to talk or laugh in public, and they are not allowed to study and to go to school... Photo: Boushra Almutawakel

Stephen Bonner, our Deputy Commissioner, spoke to @alexhern about the use of emotional analysis technologies. This is more fundamental than a data protection issue - at the moment, these technologies just don't work. teapawt.org/guardiantech/status/15…

Deep work is “the ability to concentrate without distraction on a demanding task.” It's a superpower of the 21st century. Much of the time we end up doing pseudo work, not deep work. Actions we can take to increase deep work: betterhumans.pub/deep-work-d… @m_konkel Graphic: @wendi322

Retweet and let more people know 👇 If you’re worried about someone, asking them about suicidal feelings won’t make things worse, evidence shows it could protect them. Asking gives them permission to open up and work through their feelings. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

I just backed @section28film on @Kickstarter. I grew up knowing nothing about LGBTQ+ issues, because my school was outlawed (courtesy of Section 28) from teaching me about them. There's only a day or so left to back this important film. kickstarter.com/projects/don…
