11-15 April will be the next round of Junior Doctors strike action in England.

The Government is still refusing to make a credible offer - or any offer at all - to resolve our dispute. Read more: https://t.co/QLr4vbxHF9

*Storytime*
My daughter (20) has been playing football for 15 years. She joined a team of good friends - 6 v 6 - for the indoor season.
Her entire team is Black and Brown Muslim women. All of them played competitive soccer. Some wear hijab some don't. They are a VERY good team.

On Saturday night I was forced to leave the @premierinn Enfield, in the middle of the night. staff didn’t believe my dog was a guide dog. Despite being given proof (my ADUK, harness and lead!). Legally I do not have to provide proof. This is a thread. Get comfy.

Yesterday I was arrested by @HertsPolice whilst covering a protest on the M25.

I showed my press card, and I was handcuffed almost immediately. My phone was snatched out of my hand. I was searched twice, held in a cell for 5 hours, and I wasn’t questioned whilst in custody.

Hundreds of tram workers in Nottingham are balloting for strike action in outrage after Keolis, the City's tram system company announced it would slash the pay of Robert Currie, an RAF veteran, and popular local tram worker David Brown as they battle life-threatening conditions.

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

The Tories have crowned Rishi Sunak without him saying a word about what he would do as PM. He has no mandate, no answers and no ideas. Nobody voted for this.

The public deserve their say on Britain’s future through a General Election. It’s time for a fresh start with Labour.

Pls share to stop confusion.

THERE IS NO £2,500 CAP ON ENERGY BILLS.

Instead the new 1 Oct guarantee, like the old caps, limits
- Daily charge (28p gas, 46p elec)
- & Unit rates (10p/kWh gas, 34p/kWh elec)

So use more, pay more. £2,500 is just what someone with avg use'd pay

My cousin in Amol stayed up all night trying to get internet signal...when she did, she left me messages telling me 'its a war here, they are killing protesters...they are all young...they shot a boy we knew three times' LOOK AT IRAN @trussliz @Keir_Starmer

Just went to Parliament Square & held up a blank piece of paper. Officer came & asked for my details. He confirmed that if I wrote “Not My King” on it, he would arrest me under the Public Order Act because someone might be offended.

My uncle was deaf. He was asked by British soldiers to stop. Of course he did not hear them. They shot him dead. My other uncle was in the Mau Mau. My grandmother hid bullets for him. Colonialism happened to real people. It is absolute madness to expect us to mourn the queen.

💩 ALERT!

🚨🚨🚨 Our Safer Seas & Rivers Service is once again lighting up with warnings of sewage pollution around our coastlines. Why should we be put at risk of getting sick by simply being in the sea? It's time water companies clean up their act and #EndSewagePollution.

Tube on strike, I dawdled to Paddington on Friday. Passing the old wrought iron sign for Pizza Express, I was reminded of an event 30+ years ago, when I got caught up in a drama that resulted in a divorce, two marriages and many changed lives.

It began with a heart attack 🧵

Student nurse Owami Davies was captured on CCTV in the company of a man on the night she was last seen alive. Her mum said: "This is such a terrible time for all those who love Owami and I am pleading for anyone who can help find her to contact police."

Jacob Rees Mogg wrote an article criticising lazy civil servants staying at home. It featured this photo, supposedly of empty desks in the Serious Fraud Office. Unfortunately...the photo was actually taken in Rees Mogg's own cabinet office department. It has been quietly deleted.

A group of teenagers ran into a burning building in east London yesterday to rescue elderly and vulnerable people.

Zack, 18, said: "We all had different roles, I said I’d find disabled people and another friend was pointing people to the exits" https://t.co/vAZ8ttOBg8
