@quakerpen Well said

[Rob Bailey @RobBailey53]

That’s good to hear. And as someone who has used HSBC’s NFA scheme I can also applaud the way their staff treat vulnerable folk with total kindness, compassion and dignity @HSBC_UK

[Mark Bryant @BishopMark1]

In my local branch @AskNationwide and was very impressed by the kind and attentive way the member of staff dealt with a vulnerable woman who had nearly been scammed. This is why local branches are so utterly essential & good on Nationwide who appears committed to local branches

[Rob Bailey @RobBailey53]

Pleased to hear someone else (with a decent number following) picking up on this.
Surely @labour can do better?

[Jill Segger @quakerpen]

What about rhe chronically sick and disabled who can't work, the carers, the pensioners? Are you for them too?

[Rob Bailey @RobBailey53]

@PeteWilcox1564 @FictionFox Many congratulations 😊

[Rob Bailey @RobBailey53]

@footballontnt Perhaps you mean ‘eluded’ 🥴👍

[Rob Bailey @RobBailey53]

These ARE NOT PROTESTS.
Please stop legitimising these actions.

Good reply! 😂😂

Does Ephesians 6:11 correlate with the attempted assassination of Trump at 6:11PM?

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

As a Christian, I want to share a lament with you.

What we Christians get outraged about and what we don’t says a lot about our Christian reputation in the world.

This last week was a prime example.🧵

[MarshFamilySongs @MarshSongs]

Didn't like the way this @JDVance1 bloke (newly picked as #Trump's running mate) slagged off the UK lately. Looked into him. Not great. Made a parody song inspired by @ABBA called "Vance VP" 🎶

@PeteWilcox1564 To be “Gold Stick” would be bizarre enough, but “Gold Stick in Waiting” …. 😳🤐

[Rob Bailey @RobBailey53]

Absolutely this 👇

[Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis @chiefrabbi]

Gareth Southgate’s greatest achievement was not on the pitch, but in the standard that he has set for how a role-model and representative of our country should conduct themselves.

In a job which has subjected him to a degree of national scrutiny and criticism that most people will never appreciate, he has been a real mensch, remaining dignified, respectful and considerate throughout.

His legacy will be a generation of young people who have learned from him that leadership is primarily about decency, integrity and bringing honour to others. That is worth more to our country than any trophy. The crown of a good name supersedes all. Thank you, Gareth.

The NHS may be broken, according to @UKLabour @wesstreeting, but here’s how to fix it.

Prevention, Prevention, Prevention, Prevention….

1. Prevent poverty. It’s the single biggest determinant of ill health, and health and social care demand, both now and in the future. Blair and Brown made good progress in reducing it. So it can be done.

2. Prevent illness, with a relentless focus on living well, self-care, mental health support and tackling the commercial determinants of illness. Dental disease is the commonest cause of childhood operations, and yet it’s almost 100% preventable.

3. Prevent existing risks and diseases getting worse, with evidence-based screening and a substantial shift in resources to primary, community and social care

4. Preventing waste and medical harm, by ensuring patients receive the right care, in the right place, from the right people at the right time. This is the toughest nut to crack, as it requires adequate numbers of well trained and well rested staff working in safe, clean environments with the right equipment. We currently spent three times as much litigating harms from maternity care than we do on maternity care. This is a permanent disaster and would be a very good place to start. Instead of repeating our mistakes, we need to learn from them.

That’s why being older makes you better at the job 😂

[BBC Breakfast @BBCBreakfast]

'No one has yet been able to explain to me why being older makes you better at the job'

22-year-old Sam Carling has been elected as a Labour MP for North West Cambridgeshire and spoke to #BBCBreakfast about being the youngest politician in the House of Commons

Yet “the people” can’t see it 🤷‍♂️

[Sam Bright @WritesBright]

Reform has five MPs.

Three used to work in the City of London (including one for Lehman Brothers).

One is a property magnate.

One is paid £100k a year as a GB News presenter.

This is apparently a “party of the people”

[Rob Bailey @RobBailey53]

Lest we forget

[Led By Donkeys @ByDonkeys]

Never forget. Vote them out.

[Rob Bailey @RobBailey53]

@MartinRevAnders Encouraging, yes …. but it would be even more encouraging to see people voting for the wellbeing of people whose interests are much wider than those of themselves and their immediate family

[Rob Bailey @RobBailey53]

@UKLabour This is not the answer …. 😔

[Rob Bailey @RobBailey53]

Agree with every word 😔

[Michael Spicer @MrMichaelSpicer]

the main parties have framed immigration as a negative issue in this election because it's a vote-winner. right wingers don't create racists, they tell racists it's ok to be racist.

in a more decent country, immigration would be championed. but this is not a decent country. this is a country where the main parties have framed immigration as a negative issue to win an election. this is a racist country.

anyway have a great weekend!
