Lib Dem source: “Just 45 more Tory defections until Ed becomes Leader of the Opposition.”

In the 90s - before propaganda campaigns like this and when people thought London was portrayed accurately in movies like 'Four Weddings' and 'Notting Hill' - London's murder rate was double what it is now. It is more dangerous to live in any major city in the US than in London.

@NJ_Timothy This person was delivering to the hotel, they were not being accommodated there. There is no evidence to suggest they were working illegally.

They were were surrounded and intimidated by those gathered outside and officers intervened to make sure they got away safely.

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

Parliament Square is FULL today - people spilling over into the road - thousands of people turned out to defend trans rights: trans people and c1s allies here to show transphobes that they haven’t won, not by a long way 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 #TransRightsAreHumanRights

A man who suffered a stroke is convicted of not paying tax on his van....while he was spending eight months in hospital

He's now disabled, receiving daily care, and unable to manage his own affairs

Another #SingleJusticeProcedure tragedy

If you’re @LondonWaterloo today please go and see these lovely volunteers who are manning the @TheStrokeAssoc stand all day. Vital information on #StrokePreventionDay

[Stroke Association @TheStrokeAssoc]

Last year, ambulances spent more than 1.5m hours (equivalent to 187 years) waiting at A&E to offload patients.

As such, 1000s of patients (and stroke patients) suffered 'potential harm' due to these delays: https://t.co/jh3LhWYubH

Government must fix this worsening problem. 👇

🚨 Scam alert: we are aware of convincing scam websites pretending to sell tickets for tonight’s fireworks.

Don’t lose your money: NYE fireworks tickets are **SOLD OUT** and not available anywhere. Resale has closed.

Enjoy the fireworks at home or elsewhere 🎇

Dr. Michael Hill highlights just how impactful mechanical thrombectomy can be - if services can provide an MT quickly. Time and speed is the MOST IMPORTANT factor in getting great outcomes.

[Stroke Association @TheStrokeAssoc]

To mark #WorldStrokeDay, MPs, led by @SarahDykeLD, debated stroke in Parliament, highlighting the need for good stroke care and support, and areas for improvement.

You can watch the full debate from 19:09, here: https://t.co/IpGccIniSf

[Stroke Association @TheStrokeAssoc]

If you're one of the UK's 1.3 million stroke survivors (or a loved one), the Government wants to hear from you. 👇

Have your say and help improve stroke care in the NHS over the next 10 years by adding your suggestions to the Government's online portal: https://t.co/lRKxtXHeHm

Some of the suggestions on the NHS ‘Change’ website are wild…

I hate doing personal posts but: When my mum was dying last year, NHS data sharing failures and prioritising GDPR over pain relief repeatedly left her in agony. In desperation I began to build a Google Doc of her records linked to a QR code for doctors to scan. System's broken.
