@PolitlcsUK Still not clear who has the ministerial portfolio for social care.

[Lizzie @LizzieAtHome]

@EMTrains2 you really shud be ashamed of your service. Trains cancelled or delayed, totally rammed if running and extortionate fares. What is your improvement plan? Or are you just running the service down till you get renationalised?

[Lizzie @LizzieAtHome]

I can honestly say that the service from @EastMidRailway between Nottingham & London is truly shocking. Not had a day this year when I have not had disruption one way or the other. @MayorEastMids you have to do something about this as part of your transport plans.

Big shout out to @ABBAVoyage - they gave us new replacement tickets after the show broke in January. Went on Saturday and it all went smoothly. A great experience. Thank you to @ABBAVoyage for responding so positively to my complaint and my request for new tickets!

[Lizzie @LizzieAtHome]

@NottsCC Thanks. I have done that. But no reply so far and the work is due on 17 September!! Who else do I contact to make sure that the proposed numerous patch repairs turn into a proper resurface?

[Lizzie @LizzieAtHome]

@NottsCC hi there. Who is in charge of the Highways Hub? Just had a letter about our road getting patch repairs. It needs a full resurface, not a bundle of repair patches!! Who can make it a proper full resurface please? Thanks.

[Lizzie @LizzieAtHome]

@NottsCC Thank you. But that doesn't really help me as I want to change the plans for my road repairs to a proper resurface. Who is in charge about this so I email them please?

[Lizzie @LizzieAtHome]

@drjanetownson @blimeysimon I agree with @drjanetownson - this article is indeed baffling. Suggests we have a way to go on reaching a consensus understanding about the reform of social care.

[Lizzie @LizzieAtHome]

@ABBAVoyage Saturday 18 Jan show at 3pm is a total shambles. Disgraceful. No info about the technical fault. You shud be ashamed of yourselves, especially at the prices you charge.

[Lizzie @LizzieAtHome]

Dear @BBCr4today as you are focusing on trains it seems, please can you bring a spotlight to the totally unacceptable train service between Nottingham and Birmingham, 2 of the main Midland cities? Oh and the Nottingham to St Pancras service which is better, but not brilliant!

[Lizzie @LizzieAtHome]

@SangitaMyska Oh yes. And living near Greenham Common meant we were shown it often!! Plus the list of things you needed to store to help you survive!

[Lizzie @LizzieAtHome]

@PaulbernalUK Missed this furore - what is the HMRC definition please?

[Lizzie @LizzieAtHome]

@Coeliac_UK @BritishBakeOff Honestly, we all expect better from @BritishBakeOff A big apology and a proper focus on the reality of Coeliac disease is now needed. Thank you @Coeliac_UK for your work in myth busting. Shame on @BritishBakeOff for perpetuating dangerous myths.

These stats, just released, are a national scandal.

Over 15,000 doctors applied to GP training this year.

Yet @NHSEngland is letting only 4000 of them do so.

Yes. That’s 11k potential new GPs lost to the NHS - when we’re crying out for GPs.

Many replaced with PAs - madness.

[Lizzie @LizzieAtHome]

@BBCr4today just listening to Alan Johnson talking about the challenge for universities on tuition fees. No reference to the absolute scandal of the extortionate interest rates being charged on student loans. Especially when that loan book has been sold off!! Who is profiteering?

[Lizzie @LizzieAtHome]

@TobiFrenzen Lettuces

@as0kryanair How do I DM you?

[Lizzie @LizzieAtHome]

@Ryanair currently stuck at Stansted facing a 10 hour delay on our flight to Vienna. What are our options please? Updates via the app don't mention any. Thanks.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Painful to hear Nick Thomas-Symonds making terrible job of trying to defend the utterly indefensible on @BBCr4today - deducting prison food & living costs from compensation paid to people wrongly imprisoned is simply obscene. Come on Labour - people expect better

I drove east into London on the A40 this afternoon. Light breeze, not too hot. London is always beautiful in the sunshine.

Drove past Uxbridge. No riots, no looters, no cars overturned and ablaze, no sirens.

Drove past Greenford. No riots, no looters, no cars overturned and ablaze, no sirens.

Drove past Acton. No riots, no looters, no cars overturned and ablaze, no sirens.

Parked in Westfield. There is sun, no sign of rain, but the full rainbow of humanity is here indoors.

(They say they want their country back, but they actually want their empire back, the one their grandparents' generation lost. The Empire came home. And here we all are! )

The shop assistants everywhere were from every corner of the earth. The customers the same. Girls and boys, men and women, from every place in the world, peacefully going about their lives on a London Sunday in a cathedral to capitalism in Shepherds Bush.

No shouting. No swearing. No mugging. No knifing. No looting. No burning. Just the world in one city under a giant glass roof in peace.

Sometimes, you don't know how good you actually have it. When London is good, it's really bloody good.

Most places in England are good, most of the time. Most people in England are good, no matter what the forces that seek to divide us want us to believe.

I remember being broke and homeless 20 years ago this year, carrying my possessions in four bags and thanking God for my legs when I was deep in my material nadir.

You already have your country. I already have my country. Both can be true.

I don't want to take your job, unless I'm better at it. I don't want to put shariah in place over your head and in any case, the law in this country is about as close to shariah as I need. Why would I endanger that just to piss you off for some marginal gain? Think about it.

We can get along. We are not enemies. Those grifters are fooling you, scamming you, and they're thick. They think 1+1=Foreigners. Their sums don't add up. They get tax breaks. Do you? Work it out.

We aren't going anywhere and we won't roll over frightened like our parents did. We belong here. We ARE the British Empire. This is the legacy.

It's not us you want your country back from. It's the foreign papers, the con artists who took COVID money, the scum who bought our water, the financial institutions who gambled away our future and made us pay for their next round of bonuses in an endless era of austerity. We didn't freeze old people to death. We didn't make food banks necessary. Cameron and Co did all that. We're just easy targets. A distraction.

This is still a beautiful country. This is still a peaceful country. How about we find away to make it better for all of us:?

Isn't London beautiful in the sunshine?
