@pollyrowena I also know people who have had beautiful deaths, in hospices or at home, despite the most horrible illness. I feel sick about this vote. Chair of the BMA on Radio 4 last night talking about the 'service' as though it was a car wash or something. Like, who actually are we?

@cadentgashelp Hi..I have just observed the driver of a Cadent van texting / checking his phone for an extended period whilst pulling up to traffic lights, at the lights and when pulling away. I have the reg of the van. Please could you follow me so I can message you. Worrying.

Take it in. The first female chancellor. The first housing secretary who's actually lived in social housing. The first education secretary who was on free school meals. An energy secretary who actually believes in aggressively fighting climate change. Not a bad afternoon.
@DavidOlusoga I was hovering between voting Green and voting Labour today. Have voted Labour, gladly in the end, in part due to stuff you said in the panel discussion @hayfestival Thank you 👍🌅
