I dream of good news. One day I hope to wake up to the @BBCBreaking headline proclaiming, ‘Peace, love and friendship have been declared throughout the world’
I’m ever hopeful, but not holding my breath
Do you know who he is? This man looted #Sainburys in #Manchester today. If you know who he is, help to make the community of Manchester a safer place and report him and give his identity to the Manchester #Police@gmpolice
Most people are good, and kind...
But then you have the worst type... 😡
@Dunnesfarmeggs have been robbed again. A disgusting thing to happen at their egg honesty box which is so valued by most locals. 😢
Make this guy famous guys🙏🏻

Rishi Sunak, "The itinerary was set weeks ago before the start of the election campaign. Having participated in all the British events with British veterans I returned home before the international leaders event"
Journalist, "These men made the ultimate sacrifice, and you couldn't even sacrifice a whole afternoon? Ken Hay a 98 year old D-Day veteran tells us you let the country down. Is he right?"
RS, "I participated events in Portsmouth and France"
Journalist, "PM, you didn't care, did you?"
RS, "No, I care deeply"
Journalist, "So why didn't you stay?"
RS, "The itinerary for these events was set weeks ago before the genereal election campaign"
Journalist, "Did you or anyone around you ever consider skipping the Normandy commemorations?"
RS, "That's simply not right"
Journalist, "A Conservative candidtate stating in the election says you actions show a disdain in teh armed forces and don't understand patriotism"
RS, "People can judge me by my actions when it comes to supporting the armed forces"
Journalist, "Keir Starmer managed to stay for the entire event, you didn't. What does that say about your judgment, your priorities, your character?"
RS, "As I say the itinerary was set weeks ago.. I also don't think its right to be political in the midst of D-Day commemorations. Focus should be on the veterans and their service and sacrifice for our country"
Journalist, "It's the veterans who are saying you're letting the country down. Are they politicising this?"
RS, "I've apologise for not staying longer. On reflection that wasa mistake"
Sunak keeps saying the itinerary was set weeks ago before the general election was called, so that means he had weeks to plan. Sunak also says he has a plan. So his his plan for weeks was to dishonour veterans.
When he says to judge him by his actions. Do just that and vote for any other party that will remobve the Conservative candidate in your area: SNP, LibDems, Greens, Plaid Cymru, even Labour
The Lib Dems No Confidence vote would force a June Election, only 24 Tories need to vote for it and it is finally Game Over for Rishi Sunak.
RT if the Tories need to do it, to save themselves and the UK.
Angela, "I'm a therapist, I work in a school, so I know what I'm talking about. Rod, if you think mental health has nothing to do with poverty, can I suggest you live in poverty for six months and you a free session and we'll chat about your mental health" #BBCQT
