A privilege to join the firefighters from @Tyne_Wear_FRS and one from @CDDFRS for a few miles of their epic running 🏃♂️ challenge today. Please donate if you can afford to 🙏 https://t.co/iTBTJ6tus1
Dear BBC, a gentle reminder that this is written on the side of your fucking headquarters. If I were you, I’d be sacking the chairman who withheld the truth, NOT the presenter who told it.
Who else thinks this country would be better with @GaryLineker as PM and
@MartinSLewis as chancellor? And frankly anyone with a soul as Home Secretary?
Massive expansion in private care in U.K.
This is the reason govt won’t negotiate with NHS staff - drive patients and staff to private sector.

Tragic news
The latest @CornwallInsight prediction, based on Ofgem's new methodology, is an 81% price cap rise in Oct (taking typical bill to £3,582/yr) and a further 19% in Jan (so £4,266/yr)
Action & planning is needed now. The zombie govt needs wake up sooner than 5 Sept...
These amounts are unaffordable for millions. The Jan figure equates to 45% of the full new state pension, and a higher proportion of the old one.
The rise alone on the Jan prediction, from when the help was first announced in May, is roughly £1,400/yr...
That rise alone swallows up not just £400 help for all homes,but even the £1,200 for the poorest
This will leave many destitute. Tax cuts won't help poorest incl many elderly & disabled who've higher usage
Cutting green levy'd be just tiny sticking plaster on a gaping wound...
The leadership debate must not ignore this portentous national cataclysm any more.
-They can't say they weren't warned
-The excuse "we need to wait for Ofgem figure" doesn't wash. In May govt asked Ofgem for forward guidance & made plans based on that. It can do the same now..
An action plan is needed TODAY
They are all in the same party, let's call on them to come together for the good of the nation rather than personal point scoring
People's livliehoods, mental wellbeing & in some cases very lives depend on this
This is a desperate
Pls share
Since July 2019, when Johnson became PM, literally thousands of MPs’ working hours (paid for by us) have been wasted on Government scandals, instead of governing. It’s time for the Government to step down; the WHOLE government. A GNU now and then a general election. #NeverMyPM
I have worked with 10 Attorneys General during my career & it’s an office that is nearly 800 years old, but I cannot remember one that has so damaged confidence in the criminal justice system and faith in the rule of law
This year, 0.5 million people with suspected cancer will wait longer than the supposed 2-week maximum to see an oncologist.
This terrible, unforgivable statistic, is what happens when you spend 11 years deliberately underfunding & understaffing the NHS 😔

Two years already.
Never forget:
You will always have friends in the EU.
There will always be place at our table.
And there will always be political will to rebuild what has been broken.

There is something quietly damning about Sue Gray's report/update.
The evidence she gathered was so incriminating that almost every party is now being investigated by the police.
Regardless of the details, that basic fact is absolutely shocking.
