Do you reckon when we die and go to meet our maker, he will finally at long last reveal the secret of what exactly the point of a Sparks card is?

Here's the factual timeline of Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) control since European discovery: - 1592: First sighted by English navigator John Davis. - 1690: First recorded landing by English captain John Strong. - 1764: French establish first settlement (Port Louis, East Falkland). - 1765: British claim & settle West Falkland (Port Egmont). - 1767: Spain buys French claim & takes control. - 1770: Spain briefly expels British; restored 1771 after diplomacy. - 1774: Britain withdraws garrison (claim retained); Spain leaves 1811. - 1820: Argentina (post-independence) proclaims sovereignty. - 1833: Britain reasserts control (expels small Argentine garrison). - 1833–present: Continuous British administration & settlement (except 74-day Argentine occupation in 1982 Falklands War; UK regained). - 2013: Islanders vote 99.8% to remain British Overseas Territory. No indigenous population; current residents (mostly British descent) exercise self-determination. (Sources: Britannica, UK/Falklands gov records, historical consensus.)

Our latest report highlights that without Access to Work, up to 50,000 disabled people could be without a job. At a time of rising unemployment, we are calling on the Government to prioritise this scheme, which is the most effective disability employment programme that exists.
Without Access to Work, 50,000 disabled people could leave the workforce. Our new research, funded by @trustforlondon, shows why this vital scheme must be protected. Read the report here: thedisabilitypolicycentre.or…

This has been an awful week for so many of us. It’s a stark reminder of how far we have to go when it comes to disability rights and attitudes. Sending so much strength to John Davidson.

Considering the last week, a room full of millionaires mocking a working class caretaker with Tourette’s is not a good look. It is not brave. It is not edgy. It is punching down at a disabled man who cannot control his neurological condition. After everything he has endured, that is not comedy. It is cruelty dressed up as it.
Deon Cole: "If there are any white men in the room with Tourette's, I advise you to tell them to read the room, lord. It might not go the way they thinketh."

Now that the worst day in the world on Twitter has ended. Everyone go and watch ‘I Swear’ this week. British cinema at its best.

Just turned my phone off after a day with family in Bournemouth. Heartbreaking scenes to come out of Bondi Beach. Antisemitism has gone unchecked in recent years, and this is where it leads. We must keep fighting it wherever we see it.

Lovely afternoon yesterday at the @cabinetofficeuk Disability Unit annual reception. Everyone’s focus is on closing the disability employment gap and improving our welfare system. I’m hopeful that we can make some meaningful changes in this Parliament.
