Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

I live alone. I create half as much rubbish, I only put a single strain on public services (library use, etc.) Why should I pay the same as a couple?Honestly the discount should be more than 25%, not less!

If this woman wearing her own clothes to her own style upsets you, maybe you should become a fundamental religious member and tell her to be more modest and get other men in the community to tell her how to cover up -

Today is the NHS’s 76th birthday.

A battered, bruised, close-to-palliative patient, it’s just been thrown a lifeline.

Please save her, @Keir_Starmer⁩, ⁦@wesstreeting⁩ 🙏

Please help us help our patients & rebuild our NHS 💙💙💙

When I vote I don't want unaffordable tax cuts.

I want hospital beds.

Libraries reopening.

Trains that run on time.

Kids who aren't too hungry to learn.

Rivers that don't run with slurry.

Local councils not bankrupted.

Politicians who don't venally line their own pockets.

[LCER @Labour4PR]

📍 Only Labour can win against the Tories in Shipley

🤝 To rebuild Trust in Westminster we must end our failed First Past the Post voting system

🟩🟧 Greens & Liberal Democrats, vote @DrAnnaDixon for a Labour MP that backs Proportional Representation

URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts...

1) You can do it online here https://t.co/i4FhJoAXfK
2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages.
3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing )
4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June https://t.co/9bfL3hw3CV

Rishi Sunak today announced plans to review the fit note system for people who aren’t well enough to work, with a focus on mental health.

His speech continues a trend in recent rhetoric that is stigmatising, harmful, and inaccurate.

Wow! Caroline Lucas explains why we need a wealth tax - bravo 👏 #BBCQT

Caroline Lucas, "I can certainly tell you that the Green Party would not be proposing tax cuts when public services are decimated, when hospitals have huge waiting lists, when schools are crumbling, when universities can't cope.. The Green Party would be prioritising investment in public services, not cutting taxes"

David Lammy, "Where are you going to get the money to do that?"

Caroline Lucas, "A wealth tax.. Some of the richest people do not pay a proportionate amount of tax.. They have one in Switzerland, in Norway, and the sky hasn't fallen" @CarolineLucas

RIP Shane McGowan - what a hero 😭 Years ago I was stuck in a traffic jam on Kentish Town Road on a freezing cold day when McGowan came walking past carrying a single lightbulb in his hand 😂 I went out with the Pogues' cook for a while - they were an interesting few weeks! 😵‍💫
