Great to join with Jimmy, better known as @MrBeast, to highlight efforts to provide school meals to 100 million more children worldwide by 2030.
School meals are among the best investments we can ever make.

feel very lucky that at my old job i made very close friends. abolish working from home
Some 17pc go through an entire working day without speaking to anyone face-to-face while 40pc feel lonely at work, 37pc have no close friends there and almost a third felt lonelier in the office than they did alone at home during lockdown.
@rorysutherland the vice-chairman of Ogilvy and a Spectator columnist, believes the origins of today’s antisocial workplace can be traced back to the popularisation of the open-plan office.
While it was adopted to save money on floor space, he says it was sold on false promises of enhanced sociability and collaboration: “Now, there’s nowhere you can have a chat without disturbing or annoying someone else.”

Excl: ADHD and autism are not widely overdiagnosed in the UK, a major Government review is expected to find.
The report is set to conclude that growing numbers are incentivised to seek an official diagnosis because support can be hard to get without one.

Doing some gonzo journalism where I’m a passenger at a UK airport waiting for a presumably extremely delayed or cancelled flight. Real laugh. Ready to phone in to a national broadcast studio at a moment’s notice

With the heroes of the @RNLI under attack again, I’m reminded of this passage from Bill Bryson.
ALT I had never really stopped to consider what an extraordinary thing the Royal National Lifeboat Institution is. Think about it. A troubled ship calls for help, and eight people - teachers, plumbers, the guy who runs the pub - drop everything and put to sea, whatever the weather, asking no questions, imperilling their own lives, to try to help strangers. Is there anything more brave and noble than that? The RNLI - I looked this up later - is an organization run by volunteers, supported entirely by public donations. It maintains 233 stations around the coast of Britain and averages twenty-two call-outs per day. It saves 350 lives a year on average.

Banned from Reform's conference (again)...
It seems the self proclaimed "defenders of free speech" aren't fans of free speech.
For the second year in a row, I have been banned from Reform UK's conference. I applied for accreditation and was told that it had been rejected.
It’s worth noting that I regularly report from Conservative, Labour, Plaid, Green and Lib Dem conferences.
I was actually given a press pass for the Reform conference in Wales in the autumn of 2024. While there I interviewed Nigel Farage.
Just before the interview one of his long-time inner circle came up to me and whispered “I have never worked with you before, and whether we work together again will depend on what happens next”.
It seems I failed the test.
The ability of journalists to question, scrutinise and report on the actions of politicians is one of the absolutely fundamental cornerstones of any functioning democracy.
The banning of reporters they don’t like is, in my view, a clear indication of where the party really stands on free speech as well as how they would behave if they were to hold the full power of government including the police, armed forces and security services.
If you want to support my journalist consider subscribing using the link in the pinned tweet.

for clarity, i don't think i was banned from reform conference, i think i wasn't accredited because i applied to report for my non-name youtube channel. i think @PeterKGeoghegan and @MichaelLCrick were banned because of their reporting

the exact same thing has happened to me
Oh no! I've just had another email from Reform telling be I have been rejected after all. Apparently the same has happened to several other journalists. Clearly Reform are in brilliant shape to run the country. Maybe they're worried I might talk to party members.

If it wasn't for this register, we'd never have found out that a Liberal Democrat MP had hired their son.
IPSA rules clearly state that any MP elected after 2017 is prohibited from employing close relatives.
Now we won't be able to check. What are they hiding?
A glorious day for opponents of transparency in public life.
MPs have removed the names of their parliamentary staff from a decades-old public register - meaning we do not know who these people are and are left to accept the word of their employer when they say (as in the case of the prime minister, here) that said staff do not have any outside earnings or private interests.
"All staff have confirmed they have no registrable interests": oh, well that's that then.
No way of determining if true; no way of finding out if MPs employing family members; no way for anyone other than MPs themselves to uphold standards or examine who is operating in the Palace of Westminster on their behalf.
The decision was driven by ... you guessed it ... MPs themselves, following behind-closed-door consultations with staff trade union representatives - not media or anti-corruption organisations.
Echoes of the time that decided among themselves - with nil meaningful debate - to exempt themselves from the centuries-old system by which those arrested would be named before the Commons.
Parliament being sovereign it is always free to take such steps without consultation or engagement with the public - the hope is they decide not to abuse their positions and proactively seek criticism or counter-views.
In this instance, sadly, MPs have demonstrated they cannot be trusted to do so - they have put us out of step with comparable democracies without anything approaching scrutiny:
