According to BBC News, an emergency meeting will be held today to discuss inter alia, how the government can 'support families'. So, are we single pensioners being left to fend for ourselves yet again? #BadJournalism #BadEnglish

"Reform’s by-election candidate has been branded a “snowflake” who is "running scared" after dropping out of a hustings for the Gorton and Denton seat."

@cstross@wandering.shop The original source of the image, used as stock art in quite a number of places, a photograph of a museum display taken by Théodore Poncet, is misleadingly labelled "a laptop on a table". M. Poncet's LinkedIn history says that in 2022 when xe took the photograph xe was working as a developer for Apple. So there's that.
