@SportsDirect_CS please could I have a refund for the money you’ve taken from my account without sending my order placed a month ago?no confirmation email either so no order number. have tried your customer services who took 2 weeks to reply&say they’ve ‘closed my ticket’.

[Alyssa Howard @AlyssaHowardLDN]

@SportsDirectUK could I please have the money back you’ve taken from my account w/out sending me either the items I ordered or a confirmation email? Have tried your customer service team who took 2 weeks to write back&tell me (wrongly) that the issues have been resolved.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

I can't stress this enough.

I want my kids to grow up with an NHS.

Rivers that aren't filled with s**t.

An end to the epidemic of food banks.

Libraries reopened.

Trains that run on time.

Politicians that don't fake integrity - only to pull poundshop Trump stunts like this.

My mum’s book group read @DrMichaelMosley’s Just One Thing recently and one of them produced this summary of his brilliant, sensible, achievable advice (that we could all benefit from following!) #MichaelMosley #RIPMichaelMosley

Our country is broken. A child starves to death coz social services didn’t check. A family of 4 dies after a call to 999 is not responded too. A child dies in 2023 coz he couldn’t be admitted to hospital. A child died from living in moldy inhumane conditions coz no one would help. This is just a few of the cases UK. But when Tories need £££ for themselves… oh they find it then. #ToriesBrokeBritain

A sensitive and thoughtful judgment and letter to the child - if only all family court judgments could be like this!

@BarristerSecret @MarcDavenant Dear @SBarrettBar
Seema is my client. It adds insult to injury when you use her painful ordeal to try and score a moribund political point, predicated on incompetent error.

[Carol Vorderman @carolvorders]

Unethical? Yr post is hypocrisy at its finest.
It makes us "sad and angry" to see the way YOU HAVE SOLD OFF our NHS & demeaned those most valued by us - our doctors and nurses
while YOU wasted BILLIONS giving profits to Tory friends/donors through the PPE VIP Lane & £37 BILLION on useless Test & Trace
Corruption and disrespect.

I support our Junior Doctors as do most of us. They have been put in this position by YOU.

Where are your comments about PPE, about David Cameron and the Greensill Scandal, about Partygate, about the illegal pro-roguing of Parliament, Honours to the dishonorable, unelected Prime Ministers, crashing of the economy, lying about data, dog whistle politics, offshore accounts.......

I'm sure others will continue the list

[Clare Hepworth OBE @Hepworthclare]

Six days of industrial action by "Junior" Doctors - I'm behind them all the way.
Something badly wrong when a commercial Handyman charges £60 per hr plus VAT plus materials & travelling time - whilst Junior Doctors - caring for the sick & saving lives are paid £15.50p an hr.

[Deirdre Heenan @deirdreheenan]

Starting salaries for doctors:

🇦🇺: £44,000
🇨🇦: £46,000
🇫🇷: £43,700
🇺🇸: £41,900
🇮🇪: £53,000

Meanwhile in 🇬🇧: £29,384

Junior doctors aren't holding the NHS to ransom. They're holding the NHS together.

Pay them what they deserve.

This article really resonated with me. I too had my son Freddie (now 16) whilst in my second year at Cambridge. I finished my degree, did the GDL, BPTC&pupillage as a single parent. I’m sure that the motivation of providing for my son made me work harder.
