@DrLindaDykes I’ve just set up an account and once I have found folk I am hoping to still connect with from here, I’ll delete the app. Will hang on to account, but will only visit purposefully if needed.
Surprised how many have set up accounts there.

@RoyLilley So pleased you had the news that anyone experiencing cancer, longs to get. From experience I know it is a bumpy road, and a bit of a rollercoaster at times. I also experienced nothing but kindness and competence 12yrs ago. The NHS is amazing, but needs the same care that it gives

@PippaCrerar @Smyth_Chris @KateEMcCann Just had a look for myself. Some of the ideas are priceless. Got to love the British sense of humour.

@Liz_ORiordan I hate that you felt you had to hide your true self because you were a Consultant. What have we done to make people feel that way. We must all do better.

@LondonAllergy That is beautiful. A perfect chair to settle down with a book in.

@LondonAllergy Have you watched Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. A great spin off of the character’s younger life and broadly based on the true story.

@DovForman So sorry for your loss. A brave lady who left her mark on the World in such a positive way, after such dark experiences. May she rest in peace.

Love, acceptance, inclusion and kindness is gentle and largely goes unnoticed. In these times where our social media and TVs are full of thuggery, it helps to remember that there is much more love and kindness than hatred. To those that need to hear it, I stand with you.

Time for the thread you’ve all been waiting for!

Here’s how I think senior UK politicians would attempt to cross the big red balls in Total Wipeout

@ShaunLintern @NHSEngland NHS Board meetings are meetings in public. It is up to the Chair to decide if they wish to allow questions from the public as part of the agenda, or otherwise. It is not uncommon for there to be space made for this at the end of the meeting though.

We know the England team losing the #EURO2024 is the worst outcome for some, for others however it's the reality of waiting for their partner to come home.
Football doesn't cause #DomesticAbuse, abusers do.

@RedLaser4000 Agreed, I couldn’t now, but I could then!

[Rachel Newson 💙🇺🇦 @JustRachelNow]

@Jacqui_Smith1 @educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP Many congratulations, but will really miss the partnership you have in ‘For the Many’.

[Rachel Newson 💙🇺🇦 @JustRachelNow]

@ShaunLintern @wesstreeting I would prefer ‘has been broken’. The NHS at its heart is its people. Some of them may feel broken, but this is not on them.

[Rachel Newson 💙🇺🇦 @JustRachelNow]

So Rishi Sunak’s comms prep was to say ‘don’t surrender your (insert anything you like) to them’. Once or twice maybe, but it was so cringeworthy to just keep repeating it. Very glad that is the last debate!

Time to launch my manifesto:
1. Creation of a new meal between breakfast and brunch
2. If it's not sunny on a bank holiday everyone gets a rollover until it is
3. Legally declare that nostalgia isn't as good as it used to be
4. Rename the Isle of Dogs (it's actually a peninsula)
5. Rejoin the EU but let everyone who voted to leave pretend that we still have
6. Creation of a new meal between brunch and lunch
