I’ve seen lots of tweets about this & lots of confusion. Some saying the NHS own website says there isn’t a deadline and some people just doing the online opt out without realising they need to do an offline form.

There are TWO opt outs

You won't hear it from the media, but the Liberal Democrats just had an incredible set of results.

We held off Reform, won more councillors than the Greens and trounced the Conservatives

Right cross the country people are backing us to deliver the real change they deserve. 🔶

@greateranglia Thank you 👌🏻

[Laura Clark @LauraClarkLD]

@greateranglia please can you add back some trains to and from Norwich that stop at shenfield directly. It’s so annoying for anyone that connects here that they first need to connect in Chelmsford. There always used to be a direct train.

[Laura Clark @LauraClarkLD]

@PaulGardinerDJ @PolitlcsUK @Telegraph It clarifies in the article that NI for higher rates would go from 2 to 0. So they might even be slightly better off. But overall it is net neutral broadly.

Last week, we took our 6-year-old son, River, to the Clarks Village outlet store in Street to get him fitted for school shoes. Since River is autistic, he finds it really tough to handle crowds, long lines, and noisy places. The store was packed!

I knew he wouldn’t manage well in that environment, so I shared our situation with a staff member. Aaran quickly stepped in and led us away from the noise and crowds to a staff room, putting a Do Not Disturb sign on the door. He showed so much patience with River, who was feeling anxious, and brought out a bunch of different shoes for him to try on.

We left with a fantastic pair of shoes, a very happy boy, and Aaran even gave us the store number and offered to set up an appointment for us before the store opens to keep it quiet.

This is what autism acceptance looks like!

Thank you, Clarks in Street, and a huge shoutout to Aaran Daniels for all his help! 👍

Kemi Badenoch has chosen the side of Vladimir Putin and Nigel Farage with her plan to leave the European Convention on Human Rights.

The ECHR is a proud British creation, championed by Churchill, that protects everyone's rights and freedoms.

I doubt we will ever truly hear about the harm that this Bill does, because the voices of the sick and the vulnerable are the least heard in society.

@eswater_care It’s back on this morning thankfully! Hopefully it is back for good 👍🏼

[Laura Clark @LauraClarkLD]

@eswater_care Yes I still don’t have any water :(

[Cllr Hannah Perkin 🔶 @HannahPerkin]

Last night the Tory candidate for Kent county council said in the 5 years he's lived here , I've done nothing 😂. So here is a picture of me doing nothing for the 5th time this week

@hazr198 I’ve just paid the same price for a return flight to Germany !!

@rowjoelane @GavinAndStacyTV @_BARRYISLAND_ Hi Joe is it really there? Love this 🥰 such a corker of a show!

Disabled and chronically ill people had their voices heard today.

We were heard, and then we were dismissed and ignored and gaslit.

Just a normal day then…

[Laura Clark @LauraClarkLD]

@MaryRegW @kerrybuist 🤣🤣🤣 haha true that. Although with my thyroid it’s tangential to “oh your leg is being attacked… let’s cut it off then” er…..

[Laura Clark @LauraClarkLD]

@MaryRegW @kerrybuist I feel for you. I bet none of them are interested in why, just fixing the symptoms as they present.

[Laura Clark @LauraClarkLD]

@kerrybuist @MaryRegW It’s infuriating isn’t it. I think there’s a better way forward with approach to autoimmune thyroid disease and generally anything autoimmune.

[Laura Clark @LauraClarkLD]

@greateranglia Would have been helpful to know this was going to be a slow train beforehand!!! I’m now massively delayed. Can I claim for the route I took? Rather than the one which went directly.

[Laura Clark @LauraClarkLD]

@greateranglia I got the 18.20 train to witham with a view to getting off at shenfield. I want to go to Billericay but that train was cancelled. However the 18.38 from London to Southend just overtook this train??!! Why!!!!! Why are we crawling along…??

[Laura Clark @LauraClarkLD]

@greateranglia packed train barely standing room … Billericay 8.15 to London Liverpool Street. Only 5 carriages 🤔😢
