What on earth is she talking about? Statutory maternity pay is paid by the state. For small businesses, they can claim back more than they pay out. The only ‘cost’ is that they can’t fire a woman for being pregnant. Is that the change she wants?

The UK has one of the lowest rates of maternity pay, but Kemi Badenoch thinks it's too high. Quite a surprising attitude for a woman who is definitely working class.



First read this and thought he was mad. Then discovered he can’t actually swim, and is asking if it would be possible for him to swim 1000km from the Antarctic.

Drakes passage is roughly a 1000km stretch of water between Antarctica and South America. Widely known as the deadliest sea in the world. Never been swam before. Heard of a few mad men rowed it though. My feeling is that swimming it is possible. Would be interested to hear the…



So Oasis had a week of everyone being nostalgic and saying how great they are, and now they’ve got everyone realising they’re a bunch of money grabbing dickheads. #oasis


Jesus, did they have to put him down?

Did Ingebrigtsen lose a medal because he moved out in the sprint to try and block Kerr and let the American sprint through on the inside? In rowing we have a phrase “eyes in the boat”, maybe he could have benefitted from that!


Really isn’t a good reflection of a presidential candidate when the arguments for him start becoming “he’s actually still fully capable of tying his own shoelaces”, and “President Biden actually remembered to brush his teeth this morning”

"Don't forget" 14 years of Tory pain summed up in 41 seconds of pure fire. This is like watching Bruce Banner become the Hulk for the first time.

So I have been having a little look at the people who run some of the Welsh anti-20mph Facebook groups. It seems that many of them a run by Tory politicians.... who live in England....and support 20mph where they live.... Let's go on a journey (at a very safe speed). [Thread]


I feel personally attacked


Can just imagine the scenes in the IDF war room. “Shall we continue bombing civilians, or should we check what the Labour MP for Poplar and Limehouse thinks first?”

Being a World Champion means there’s no one better in the world. That there’s another athlete who matches you stride for stride is amazing, the very essence of great competition. Congrats on yet another Gold @ktnago13!

Amazing! 🥇 The moment Katie Moon and Nina Kennedy shared the pole vault gold 🤩 #WorldAthleticsChamps

We all think we're rational human beings. So let's put that to a test in a little thread, with sources. This is for those who are in a terrible tizz right now, and think Gary Lineker is actual Satan. 🧵

Want to know my least favorite women’s basketball take ever? “Lower the nets. If women dunked more, the game would be more popular.” Not only is this argument sexist, it wouldn’t help the game. My rebuttal and what we should do instead for @FanSided: fansided.com/2021/03/23/wom…

This is the clinic where I escort. This is just one shift. One normal shift where the monks around the corner prayed, a church group sang, and our “regular” antis screamed at our patients that they were murdering their babies. This is harassment, not healthcare.

We're filing a lawsuit against two individuals who repeatedly and violently blocked access to a Planned Parenthood Center in New York City. No person, no business, and no government body has the right to deny or limit a woman’s access to an abortion.



Always useful to follow @IndependentSage for their advice on schools. It means you can then rule out what you know the government then definitely won’t do #followthescience #nonotthatscience

'Schools should always be the last to close and the first to open' @ReicherStephen introduces Independent SAGE's new consultation document on reopening of schools
