I have Parkinsons. On the
4.15 London to Cardiff train. My meds failed. Could barely move. A medical student training at Oxford helped me exit the train and called station staff to ensure my safety.I am so grateful to her.Pls retweet in hope she sees it
@mrjamesob Martin Luther-King didn't say he had a ten point strategic plan which required concentration before action. He had a dream. Labour needs to clearly express its vision. A vision which people understand.
@LBC My beautiful 16 year old daughter Ffion has just turned to me with anger in her eyes accusing my generation of failing hers. She doesn't understand why "grown ups" want to be led by a liar, racist' misogynist homophobe Neither do I
Parkinsons Disease is cruel. A huge burden falls on loved ones who provide care & support, Sadly it doesn't end there .It can create a changed personality affecting loving relationships. Though aware, Parkies seem powerless to change. Please support Cure Parkinsons Trust
l have just read another letter from the Pensions Minister
which was the self same pathetic longevity excuse he always gives, even in parliament, which suggests that all of those that support the frozen pension theft are also out of touch with the reality of this pension fraud.
@DobsonJane And if I might add- we are not voting for a personality jts about the morality fairness and honesty of the example
society shows to our children

If at first you don’t succeed there are certain things it’s best not to try again - sky diving is one, and kicking possession away against Fiji is another.
@1in20parkinsons This unpredictability reduces planning even the chores of a normal life a "cross fingers and hope' exercise in risk taking, It takes cojones and often the kindness and tolerance of strangers are the means by which you manage
I learned many things during my years in the RA; most of them have served me well in https://t.co/004pdfLWiP of my favourites was an aphorism : "Bulls... baffles brains" Boris Johnson's speech to the Conservative party conference today was a perfect example

@mrdanwalker Dan re your shirt, I admire your good taste. Check out the one I wore when you and Louise were kind enough to interview me about my Parkinsons rescue
@CwlHR Indeed she does love me and I am blessed for it. She shares my Parkinsons burden with me with more good grace than I deserve. About the head dyskinesia: I admit to cutting off the phone but at least Yvonne is not my dentist!
@thebluemadmax @ahdamnsoper @WayneDavid_MP It's a matter of record that the leave campaign was conducted on the basis of lies and distortion. In any event the vote was advisory Wayne David has a moral duty to exercise his best judgement
@WayneDavid_MP This is a dangerous time for parliamentary democracy, How have we come to this? An overgrown schoolboy as PM who thinks he is still captain of the extra third xv. Even with Parkinsons, if I can help?
Never seen this before. A card designed to hold dollar bills by the bedside with a signed request to leave a tip. I never like tipping cultures, need a realistic minimum wage but in the US the shuttle driver from the airport and the bar waitress last night depend on them
