[The Salvation Army @salvationarmyuk]

We are saddened to hear about our friend, Paul O'Grady's passing. We are so grateful for all he did for The Salvation Army. Paul and his family and friends are in our prayers.

[Claire Anderson @SalvoClur]

Yes. This.

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

Just saying 🤨 #DowningStreetParties

[Jess Phillips @jessphillips]

Honestly when will Tory MPs grow a spine and speak fiercely against this complete and utter contempt for the public.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Not one single Tory MP has had the honesty, integrity, sense of accountability - or courage - to call out the latest scandal for what it is. Every local journalist has a duty to get their response. And anyone who has a Tory MP needs to demand an answer too. Get writing

One of the things about checking yourself some for the symptoms of Covid - breathlessness, exhaustion, flu-like under the weather-ness, nothing tasting or smelling intensely like it used to - is that if you’re 57 these are conditions of being.

[Claire Anderson @SalvoClur]

I thought it was bad enough in my clubbing days, removing blokes’ hands from my arse and keeping a hand over my drink so it wasn’t spiked. What are we teaching people that this is normal!

[LucyMangan @LucyMangan]

Fkng hell. Our poor girls

[Claire Anderson @SalvoClur]

@LucyMangan I thought it was bad enough in my clubbing days;this is horrific! I was the token non-drinker among my friends&made sure we all taxied home together;there was always 2of us dropped together last. Constantly removing blokes’ hands from my arse & covering drink with my hand in club

@JulieJudson1 @salvationarmyuk Legends!

[Claire Anderson @SalvoClur]

So excited for our @salvationarmyuk teams taking part in this brilliant yearly tournament. It’s been a long wait after last year’s tournie was postponed - and of course I’m cheering on our teams from the #NorthEast region! #SeePeopleNotLabels

[The Salvation Army @salvationarmyuk]

We’re @goalsmanchester for our annual 5-aside football tournament for our Lifehouse residents: The Partnership Trophy! This is our 10th year celebrating the sporting skills in our homelessness support services. Watch this space for updates throughout the day. #SeePeopleNotLabels

[Claire Anderson @SalvoClur]

@BCC_Help Thanks, Helena. Have popped you a DM

[Claire Anderson @SalvoClur]

Hi @BCC_Help - any chance of having our recycling bins picked up?Your website seems to think residents didn’t put them out…but they’re still out from Sunday night hoping you’ll come back for them. Happily supply the photo I’ve taken of the street if you’d like to argue the toss!

[Claire Anderson @SalvoClur]

Looking forward to cheering on our teams this week!

[The Salvation Army @salvationarmyuk]

When the pandemic gave our homelessness football tournament, the Partnership Trophy, a red card, we had to postpone our matches until 2021, but now we’re back and ready for kick off! Join us for Frontline Live this Thursday, 2pm to learn more: https://t.co/pnVSdbQTdY

@salvationarmyuk has released a report detailing how struggling communities could still be left behind despite the Government's plans for #levellingup the country. If you have 5, please do check out the report!

[The Salvation Army @salvationarmyuk]

Our new report shows exactly where @Govuk ‘s #LevellingUp funding is needed most and which communities risk being left behind. https://t.co/iDxyV6r7SQ

[Claire Anderson @SalvoClur]

The Government has shared plans to 'level up' the country&reduce inequalities in communities. @salvationarmyuk is concerned that, after conducting its own research, funding won't reach key areas that really need the assistance. https://t.co/xZN3YS26pm

[Channel 5 News @5_News]

Reducing inequalities in communities across the UK - to "level up" the country - was one of the government's key election promises.

But the Salvation Army says Boris Johnson's Levelling Up Fund won't reach many of the places it should.

@JoelBurgess So lovely reading your tribute to River. My husband introduced me to Fallout 4 (and gaming!) under lockdown and River/Dogmeat has become my firm fave companion (husband is okay too…!). Thanks for sharing her story and for the awesome character!
