While today’s CPI says inflation has flattened, its exclusion of key costs like interest payments means we're not seeing the full picture
Do look out for the next release of the Household Costs Indices which do look to capture different household experiences on 26 Feb 👀

OK folks opinion please. I wrote in a draft paper "In view of the well-documented tendency of AI to make things up . . . ", and I'm under pressure to replace "make things up" with "hallucinate". Which do you prefer? #AI #euphemism #Lies

He is correct but not for reasons @wesstreeting gives . Reform is needed to stop NHS money leaking out to equity investors, bankers and private profiteers through costly contracts and to stop service closures and reinstate NHS and duty on Sec of State to provide health care.

The population is ageing and growing. It is getting sicker too as the effects of austerity bite. There are also rising costs in the NHS especially with medical equipment and many drugs.
Of course the NHS needs more money.
Wes Streeting doesn't know what he's talking about.

For vast parts of North America, Asia, Africa & Europe – it is a cruel summer.
For the entire planet, it is a disaster.
We can still stop the worst. Accelerating temperatures demand accelerated #ClimateAction.

Literally, factually, mathematically and actually correct. Well done the BBC for teaching facts.
ALT BBC page for schoolchildren claims ‘every person in Britain is descended from immigrants’ BBC's Bitesize website, which offers online revision materials for UK exams, accused of teaching ‘politically correct cliches’
