Perhaps our NHS could have the money back from when you sued it?

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

We couldn’t agree with this more

Please RT and follow if you do too and help us raise awareness of the creeping privatisation of the NHS

Many tweets today re Raab claiming he discussed no deal during the referendum when he didn’t. The awful thing is it doesn’t matter. Shame has died. There are no standards anymore.Patel and Williamson were sacked. Cummings was held in contempt. Johnson’s a liar. None of them care.

“Crown shyness is a phenomenon in which the crowns of trees do not touch each other, forming a canopy with channel-like gaps in order to prevent abrasions or collisions with neighbours”.

Even trees respect each other, we could learn something from them.💚

I wanted to know about the different experiences & wages of live-in 19th century agricultural labourers, so after some research, I wrote this: https://t.co/fAiIzKGNte #ancestry #Genealogy

Artists installed seesaws at the border wall so that kids in the U.S. and Mexico could play together. It was designed by architect Ronald Rael. ⁣

can someone please stand up and start shouting (it wont be the weasel Corbyn) "YOU ARE NOT CHURCHILL, fatso, and the EU is not the Third Reich. You do not have a war cabinet because THERE IS NO WAR. How DARE you invoke the sacrifices of those fought one!

Had the pleasure of seeing this beautiful sunrise this morning! However... I’m calling it sunset as it’s bedtime for me! Woweeeee it was a busy one!!! 😴😴😴

@Channel4News Don't mess with the SEG guys but well done!

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Good morning @Telegraph could you please tell me why requesting an independent ecological assessment of the impact of releasing 50m non native birds into the UK constitutes an ‘attack’ on the countryside ? Because frankly it seems very reasonable to me . . . @WildJustice_org

Wow I remember this!

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

What truly makes our country great is its diversity. I’ve seen that beauty in so many ways over the years. Whether we are born here or seek refuge here, there’s a place for us all. We must remember it’s not my America or your America. It’s our America.

[RAF Benevolent Fund @RAFBF]

Remember the fallen. Stand with our RAF Family. Will you help support brave veterans like Alan Morgan who lost eight fingers to frostbite after anti-aircraft fire caused the door of his Lancaster bomber to fly open?

[Peoples HeritageCoop @PHCooperative]

Stunning performances and writing. Stark reality of life back in Brum after the war ended. All the issues still resonate.
