@AmazonHelp seriously??? They didn’t even knock. This is after having to cancel an order this week because your courier ‘couldn’t find’ one of the biggest buildings in Milton Keynes 🙄
@Just_Tambo I’ve been following this today just because my daughter lives opposite. Some of the misinformation has been ridiculous and I’m sure isn’t helping you deal with this.
I hope it gets resolved peacefully and your brother gets the help he needs x
@Nigel_Farage@Keir_Starmer But wasn’t the point of Brexit to have autonomy, therefore not to completely turn our backs on everything the rest of Europe does, but to still be able to negotiate and join in on some of the things that would be good for us?
It's time!
It's time to #floodthestreets. It's time to #floodthestreets with your rage, your anger, and your disappointment.
It's time to take control.

I've just received and vigorously declined an invitation to write a 'culinary guide' to Saudi Arabia, fully funded by the Saudi govt. It's a murderous, homophobic, misogynistic regime. I've been shocked by the willingness of various hospitality businesses to take their money 1/
@Coeliac_UK@carlytalbot Compare UK with the Italian model, where coeliacs claim monthly vouchers towards gf food. Many UK coeliacs have had gf prescriptions withdrawn.
Considering gf diet isn’t a choice, our hospitals v poor at providing for & understanding need for a gf diet for inpatients. #GFPledge
@HeinzUK@RichmondFoods@asda WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS???
yours was the only brand of beans & sausages coeliacs could have. You only need to add the wheat if the quality has gone downhill…guess that’s why then..
Sad move Heinz
The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama told its staff today that it is axeing its junior department at the end of this term. Almost 200 children study there on saturdays. That will all stop in July. This is not rich kids playing expensive instruments. One of them texted...
I'm really excited to be playing Brahms 1 next season with one of my favourite orchestras: @TheCBSO I'm happy to be filmed on phones by the audience except for the following bars when I really need to concentrate and could be distracted:
The story of Zinaida Portnova, the 16 year old girl who took the lives of more than 100 Nazis by poisoning their food. She was captured by the Gestapo, and while being interrogated, she disarmed the Nazi detective and shot him in the head. In her attempt to escape, she executed two more Nazis.
A seventh-grade student at the 385th school in Leningrad, Zinaida became member of the local underground Komsomol organization, named Young Avengers, during the German invasion.
She became employed as a kitchen aide in Obol. In August, she poisoned the food meant for the Nazi garrison stationed there. Immediately falling suspect, she said she was innocent and ate some of the food in front of the Nazis to prove it was not poisoned.
After she did not fall ill immediately, they released her. Portnova became sick afterwards, vomiting heavily but eventually recovering from the poison after drinking much whey. After she did not return to work, the Germans realized she had been the culprit and started searching for her.
When she was captured in 1943, during the Gestapo interrogation, she took the investigator's pistol off the table, then shot and killed him. When two German soldiers entered after hearing the gunshots, she shot them as well.
She then attempted to escape the compound and ran into the woods, where she was caught near the banks of a river. She was executed in 1944.
