@Mofoman360 What religion is that, mass consumerism. I was brought up a Christian,I am offended by the temple of big business selling stuff that has no relevance to the birth of Christ. If you want to spend money without purpose, giving people a guilt trip, do it, but don't call it religion

“Sky TV? Luxury! When I were a lad, five of us were all crammed into nowt but a 6-bedroom 'ouse. No workin'-class friends, and we 'ad to pay t'public school nigh on £25,000 every yeer, for t'elite private education. Aye, I 'ad it rough! And if you tell t'electorate that today, they won't believe you!”

Didn't think this would have hit my as hard as it did. PSA result 0.029.

If you have not yet, get a PSA test - I had no symptoms and am now on hormone therapy and had radiotherapy. Hormone therapy is not a breeze! #prostatecancer #PSATest #GleasonLevel9 #nhs

2mins of Hashi Mohamed absolutely smashing the Conservatives Rwanda policy to bits.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

‘Our learned judges said the Home Office hadn’t even assessed that policy before adopting it

It’s unviable, it’s expensive & the only people it’s going to work for is the Rwandans’ #BBCQT

We've had 5000 days of Tory Rule today 😳 I've done some maths
🔹Since May 2010, the
NATIONAL DEBT HAS INCREASED,
on average,
by a staggering
£380 MILLION A DAY
- EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR #5000DAYS

Which begs the question....
Where has all our money gone?

I wouldn't trust the Tories with my shopping list, let alone the economy 😡

FACTS
David Cameron became PM, after Gordon Brown, on May 11th 2010, 5000 days ago.
In June 2010 he said the national debt was £770 billion (other sources quote £903 billion, but I'll use HIS £770 billion for the calculation)

By end Nov 2023 the National Debt had grown to a colossal £2,670 billion (Source:ONS)

That's an increase of £1,900 billion.
Divide that by 5,000 days of Tory Rule and gross mismanagement.
It means an increase, on average, of c£380 million every single day for 5,000 days.

@MarinaPurkiss Of course this will be a scrupulously affair opening this up for all to join in and even the original owners to buy back the land. Not a fire sale to the incumbent government's best mates and partners!

“Don’t wait like I did - check your risk.”

One year on from his passing, Bill Turnbull's legacy lives on in the thousands of men he inspired to check their risk and get an early diagnosis.

Let’s honour Bill’s legacy together. Let’s #BroadcastItLikeBill: https://t.co/xlEq3rda0J

This is the state of our country that we are unwilling to see what is front of our eyes and work as a country to change things...I worry for my grandchildren

@JolyonRubs @MarinaPurkiss The final clause...hmmm

[Andy Throssell @SingingThrossa]

@JolyonRubs @MarinaPurkiss Oh the glorious irony.

[A piece of string @ATpieceofstring]

Language! The words that are in common use are: failed, hike, invasion, disaster, devastating... and are others to make what is being conveyed to be of greater interest. It is time that a 1/4 % change in the bank of interest is none of the above. #language #reporting

[A piece of string @ATpieceofstring]

This is surely the point in time that we need to go to the country to ask whether we agree with the policies of the present government. Clearly not in their manifesto!

@ATpieceofstring Diagnosis yesterday with pages and booklets to read. The counsellor spent the majority of her time talking to my wife.

Now on the roundabout of bone scan, clinic visits & medication.

NHS are wonderful.

When we any party stop looking at what other parties have done and get on with what they have promised and be accountable to that. #playgroundPolitics #accountabilty
