@ShelaghFogarty wants the misogyny in criminal institutions to be 'turned on its head', following cases of rapists being spared jail.

Student Loan (Plan 2) repayment threshold is being frozen from April, so millions must pay more. Its double fiscal drag & not what they agreed to. I asked the Chancellor why?
For more incl on fiscal drag itself, see the Martin Lewis Money Show Budget Special on itv.com/watch/the-martin-lew…

As a girl from West Texas, I can remember the first time I saw bananas growing & was shocked that they grew “up” rather than down. This was after living in NYC for years. We need to treasure how travel can surprise us in totally unexpected ways… #familytravel #bananas #stlucia

.@jamestalarico: The problem with Ken Paxton is not that he didn't grow up in Texas. It's that he doesn't understand Texas. I believe anyone can be a Texan. It doesn't matter if you're an 8th generation Texan like me, or if you just got here. What makes a Texan is deep in the heart. Texas used to be known as the friendly state. Friendship is our official state motto. The word Texas comes from a Native American word for 'friend.' They used that word to describe a friend in a different tribe. Friendship across tribes. Friendship across divisions. That's what makes Texas so great.

I do challenge the advice about stockpiling Sauvignon blanc.
Surely better to stockpile a red - because if the power goes down, the white would be room temperature, which would be simply ghastly.
I don’t know if this is for real, but having spent time living in Paris as a freelance journalist, it absolutely captures. What’s so great about the French.
Great discussion with @realzoestrimpel , author of Good Slut, at the Battle of Ideas around violence and relative levels of physical strength between men & women. Question: Does being reminded constantly of threat of violence for women disempower us? #BattleFest @academyofideas
Love this: FOI requests as a hobby
"Lies, damned lies... lets talk about stats" discussion at Battle of Ideas @acadofideas with @ProfAliceS @statsjamie @ObhishekSaha Josie Appleton and chair @TimandraHarknes #BattleFest. As one attendee said, lovely to be in a room of people sharing my hobby of FOI requests.

Which? magazine urges people to stop using Booking.com on the grounds they are hopeless at detecting scams on their site. Quite right too. Use Booking.com at your peril.
So excited to be back at the Battle of Ideas. So many people here fired up about intellectual debate! @Fox_Claire #BattleFest
"Even before we start the festival, there's an incredible energy in Church House... We agree with each other on the need to disagree with each other civilly and have it out in public."
@Fox_Claire opens the 21st Battle of Ideas...

Not every difference in representation is down to discrimination, says @policylaila at the debate Should We Scrap the Equality Act? Lots of informed thought-provoking opinions on the panel @Fox_Claire @acadofideas #battlefest
