#InternationalWomensDay2026 Thinking of all those women in the world suffering #war #famine #poverty #homelessness #bereavement. Not even the compassion of #elizabethfry could heal the world’s #misery today.

@histnovsoc Love author Kate Mosse’s work and am so enjoying #feministhistoryforeverydayoftheworld But what happened to #ursulavonderleyen there must be a page missing? As a Belgian she became Germany’s Minister of Defence. How? Have had to Google her life.

#Israel #Netanyahu Question to #Netanyahu what does the senseless fear, starvation and killing of so many innocent children, women and men remind you of? Yes indeed #Holocaust

#Putin There are too many #crazy #bullies in the #world. We were always taught that bullies are #cowards and won’t win…so what has allowed so many to rise in power?

@MarkJCarney Lucky Canada - a true statesman for leader, dignified, compassionate, intelligent and more than capable of taking on the world and its problems.

#InternationalWomensDay Today remember #elizabethfry prison reformer & friend of the poor & under privileged. She championed women, particularly those in prison, started schools & promoted literacy. She started Fry’s Nurses & inspired another great woman #florencenightingale

@Number10cat I agree. Europe should support President Zelensky against a US administration which believes group bullying will get it everything it wants.

@MichaelPDeacon I support assisted dying but abhor capital punishment. I want the right to choose at the end of MY life if I suffer a ghastly incurable illness & save my family the pain of watching me decline for months.

Every time I make up a bed I curse all bedding manufacturers who are too mean to account for shrinkage in fitted sheets sizing #beddingmanufacturers #bedding #fittedsheets #broken #nails

@MichaelPDeacon I enjoyed your piece on @ERantzen New drugs give hope but to know there is a choice if things go wrong is why I welcome #assisteddying as a private, personal choice without coercion

[Averil D Opperman @ADOpperman]

Thanks for nothing, https://t.co/phLlZiPw2q Checked this morning for floods and closed roads in Worcestershire and Herefordshire and was told ‘low risk’. Wrong! Flash floods everywhere and a main road closed so had to do a long detour and almost missed an NHS appointment.

Our water table is so high due to constant rain, that I need to start weighing our laundry before washing, to save water. Any one know of an inexpensive scales for laundry? Sounds crazy but these are the times we live in.

@coventrycc Check out the cycle lanes in Dublin - narrow roads, dangerous road ‘furniture’ and no cyclists.

#AssistedDyingBill Congratulations Britain! Congratulations brave MPs. This is a major confirmation of #democracy, of an individual’s right to choose, to make a private, personal choice for themselves. Bullies, coercive family & friends, back off.

@jk_rowling I am in touch with two school friends I’ve known for 66 years! And another friend of 60 years. Friendship is precious. True friends care for one another in rough times. Family is family and precious too, but you choose your friends!

@PuppiesIover Are you a puppy farm?

@SnotSurgeon Shocking and so selfish.
