Mental health isn't a joke and anybody who comes forward should be supported and celebrated, not belittled.
I am here. I am listening. I will support you.

Zendaya and Robert Pattinson side by side videos are going to dominate the clip-verse for the next 5 years and we won't even know which movie it is.

@VFSGlobal the time limit of 5 minutes on OTPs is kind of pointless if we either:
1. Don't receive one, or
2. Receive one after 5 minutes

Guess I'll just wait another 24 hours before entering the gauntlet once more.

There is an insidious wave rippling through Europe that has reached the Isles. Young, disenfranchised voters have known nothing but economic decline, failing governments, and conflict are rightly fed up. The problem is that they're being influenced into blaming the wrong people.

Everyone breathing a sigh of relief at Reform's limited seats: they have more total votes than the Lib Dems. If you're worried after realising that then welcome to the party.

@lewisaaron_wood A tip from special advisor Samuel L Jackson. It's so he can find himself in the footage of the post-debate Battle Royale.

Why are we asking double negatives...? It most likely was not accessible for all those watching at home #ITVDebate

[Rahul Mathasing @RahulMathasing]

The utter arrogance of the debate not including other party leaders is shocking. Yes, local elections saw huge Conservative losses but the gains were significant in parties outside of the official opposition #ITVDebate

The number of posts across social media with comments suggesting Trump is a victim and with shows of unashamed support for his Presidential campaign in the face of this GUILTY verdict is absolutely staggering.
It's giving CULT.

Donald Trump found guilty of falsifying business records, becoming first ex-president to be convicted of a crime https://t.co/lKeWHi1Y41

This is a useful product that is widely mis-regulated and slow to adapt. Definitely support #EndLISALockout

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Pls share if you support.

Many young people are paying £100s/£1,000s fines to the govt to access money they saved to buy a first time house. It's time to #EndLISALockout

Today I've contacted the Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt to ask him to fix Lifetime ISAs in the autumn statement. They're now a dead duck for many 1st time buyers especially in urban areas.

The LISA can be opened age 18-39 and then it gives savers a 25% bonus up to £1,000 a year towards a housing deposit. It should be great (& is for many).

Yet LISAs launched in 2017 with a £450,000 cap on the property you could use them for. That cap is still the same now, but house prices have gone up 33%. That leaves some who've saved squeezed out. Eg.

You saved the max in a LISA for 5yrs:
- You put in £20,000, state added £5,000, so you've £25,000
- Yet the home you wanted & saved for is now just above the threshold.
- So now you face a 25% penalty to withdraw your money, so you get only £18,750 back that's £1,250 less than you put in, and the different goes to the state.

My ask to the Chancellor is simple. Either wipe the fine for those buying houses above the threshold or raise the threshold in line with house price rises (or both).

#ENGvRSA if this becomes a game of penalties, we won't come out on top... We lose discipline and lack the ability to constantly convert any that go our way
