Just read someone's tweet singling out Ann Travers as a "clown". I'm not sure what I have missed here. Some people must think she shouldn't still be starting after what happened.

Watching a programme that is discussing the 480 days that each parent gets for family leave with their new kids, in Sweden. Here, there are those who would deny even basic maternity pay.

bbc.co.uk/news/live/cyvm… Sure isn’t always only a matter of time? I actually thought this administration had at least approached the Presidency with a little more preparation, but the chaos is only ever a heartbeat away. Also, can you imagine the smell in that place?
