@supertanskiii My parents got a golden wedding card from ‘The King’ it had Camilla on it. My Dad (bless him) was enraged ‘ what’s that slag doing on our anniversary card!’ He actually stuck paper over her to remove her when he displayed thd card at the big party. Love my Dad 🥰
@BookLadyKaty It was one of the only things my dyslexic girl would read - pictures really helped. She still hates reading books but managed to get a first class degree in marketing.
@flying_rodent My lovely Uncle George was at Ypres. He was white feathered and joined at 17 was a sergeant at 19. Saw all kinds of horrors. I agree, he’d have hated this attention seeking nonsense. He died in the late 1970’s when WW1 veterans were common and they really didn’t want to remember!
🚨 BREAKING- We are witnessing one of the most powerful revolutions in history.
Ahoo Daryaei (آهو_دریایی), a courageous student at Tehran’s Science and Research University removed her clothes on campus in a fearless act of defiance after enduring harassment and assault by security forces enforcing mandatory hijab.
Her bravery speaks for countless women who refuse to sit silently as their dignity and rights are trampled by a repressive system.
We are gravely concerned for her safety- her fate remains unknown, and fears are rising. Share her story.

Today you will hear a lot about broken Labour promises from the Conservatives. So here’s a little reminder of theirs:
David Cameron “we have absolutely no plans to raise VAT”
They raised it from 17.5% to 20%
David Cameron “I wouldn’t change child benefit, I wouldn’t means test it”
They means tested it.
David Cameron “We have no plans to scrap the educational maintenance allowance”
They scrapped it.
George Osbourne “we will reduce the deficit and get debt under control”
They didn’t.
Boris Johnson “we will build 300k homes a year”
They didn’t.
Boris Johnson “we will end rough sleeping”
They didn’t.
Theresa May “we will ban no-fault evictions”
They didn’t.
Theresa May “we will ban conversion therapy”
They didn’t.
Boris Johnson “we will not raise income tax, VAT or National insurance”
They did, to the highest levels in 70 years.
Boris Johnson “we will build 40 new hospitals”
They didn’t.
Rishi Sunak “we will cut NHS waiting lists”
They didn’t.
David Cameron “we will end child poverty”
They didn’t. In 2021/2022 1 in 3 children in the UK lived in poverty.

@Gebinh1 It’s just so tough for everyone. Good health is the greatest gift and no one can really fully appreciate that until it is gone. I hope you can find peace in memories of happier times. ❤️ Thinking of your loved ones too.
@BBCNewsnight@nicholaswatt Hey BBC it’s not a big deal we don’t really care much about Taylor Swift tickets. Hope the Starmers enjoyed a night with their kids. Glad Taylor was safe and the police protected her. It’s pretty normal that Keir would meet her as a major world cultural figure. 🤷
