Thanks @LondonMarathon for the opportunity to run the Virtual LM last Sunday. My running pal and I completed a fab route - the Lee Navigation canal - in 4h40m. Best of all, raised over £2,500 for #Greenwich @CruseSupport #LondonMarathon #WeRunTogether

@edwinhayward Isn’t there a hashtag every tweet should be using? #dontbuythesun

Happy 75th Birthday NHS 💙

You've been our protector and our pride.

Still so young when you saved my brother in 1950s: saved my life twice in emergency: my girl born premature: my Mum with many cancers

Now YOU have been wounded & it's time for us to step up to protect you 💙
#NHS75

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

If everyone who has been grateful for the NHS over the past 75 years followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight.

Please take just two seconds to show you care.

#PrinceHarry is very brave 👏

Today he spoke for the people when he said this ⬇️

“On a national level as, at the moment, our country is judged globally by the state of our press and our govt – both of which I believe are at rock bottom. Democracy fails when your press fails to scrutinise and hold the govt accountable, and instead choose to get into bed with them so they can ensure the status quo. I may not have a role within the Institution but, as a member of the British Royal family, and as a soldier upholding important values, I feel there’s a responsibility to expose this criminal activity in the name of public interest. The country and the British public deserve to know the depths of what was actually happening then, and indeed now. We will be better off for it.

This is my father-in-law, Eamonn Monks. He was born in Dublin in 1933 and came to the UK in the mid 1950s. At first he lived in London, where he trained as a dentist and met his future wife, Brigid.

@LibDems What? Wow! 🤩 🧡

[Random Mum from Blackheath @PetaCubberley]

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret How can we increase voter turnout at local elections? Given the level of public services they deliver at local level, where people actually live/study/work, arguably as important as GE…

New York Times on Broken Britain:

For over a decade, the Conservatives have ransacked the country they claim to love, unmooring it from its foundations and enriching their chums.

Life under the Tories has become poorer, nastier, more brutish and shorter.
