On this day 35 years ago I walked into the @WYFRS my first day as Fireman Phillips it was life changing & amazing. My first helmet pictured

Literally crying in the Target parking lot right now. 🧵

I was struggling with unloading my toddler, my bags and wrangling an unruly cart (seriously — why do some lack power-steering?) A fire truck from Redondo Beach (E61) had just parked nearby and four firefighters got out.

It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?
The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised.

Laura Kuenssberg, "You got train drivers back to work by offering them pretty chunky inflation busting pay deals"

Louise Haigh, "It wasn't inflation busting.. We were looking at the last three years, it was below inflation"

Kuenssberg, "It was a generous deal"

Haigh, "It was a deal over three years when inflation has been 12%"

"I inherited a picture where we had the longest running industrial dispute on our railways and it was my priority to fix that and to get back to work, to restore confidence in the railways, and to deliver workforce reforms"

Kuenssberg, "Do you still think P&O is a rogue operator?"

Haigh, "I think everybody agrees that what P&O did was completely unacceptable"

Kuenssberg, "Would you get on a P&O ferry now? You said you would boycott it"

Haigh, "I would like to see P&O implement the Sea Farers charter, abide by the minimum wage regulations that we are bringing into force. And then I would be very happy to get on a P&O ferry"

Well said @LouHaigh 👏

The moral of this story is that, in democracies, power resides with the people - it is only ever temporarily lent to politicians. There is always another election or a term limit on the horizon. Your vote is powerful - use it and never let them take it for granted.

[Greg Jackson @g__j]

Incredibly, this is the people of Valencia - walking to the most affected areas to help - see just how long the queue is...

It's not possible to get there by car - so they're on foot. Tirelessly helping the people affected.

[Janey Godley @JaneyGodley]

Earlier this morning Janey passed away in her sleep. Her family were with her.
The love and support from all her friends and fans during this cancer journey brought her enormous joy. It has also been a huge comfort to us, her family and close friends, thank you.

Let's drop the "NHS is not fit for purpose" bullsh*t peddled by the right! This month I've had 3xGP appts, an xray, blood test & 2 lots of meds - all for £0. Got xray appt within 4 days. NHS needs INVESTMENT. It needs to build on the fab NHS staff doing a great job ❤️ #Labour
