Community care law solicitor @ms_solicitors (the firm I co-founded in 2004). All opinions very much my own! Proudly a lawyer of *activist/ lefty do gooder type*

[Cate Searle @CateSearle]

Looking forward to providing this update and thanks to @SFELawyers for inviting me to speak on the topic #socialcare #healthcare

Unfortunately I originally accidentally tweeted this at the O2 arena rather than the mobile phone company @O2 ! although @virginmedia kindly replied, sadly #O2 phones haven’t & meanwhile this elderly relative has had loads more texts on a basic model phone that won’t let us block

@TheO2 an 89 year old relative is getting lots of nuisance texts and three #O2shops haven’t been able to help. Can your #customercare team help please?

#O2 @virginmedia #CustomerExperience @vm02news an 89 year old relative is getting lots of nuisance texts and three #O2 shops haven’t been able to help. Can you contact me to resolve

@nearlylegal It is deeply sad and exposes how impossible it has become to operate a legal aid firm for #socialcare #healthcare #courtofprotection. Mackintosh Law provide excellent representation for some of our most vulnerable people.

@Joanna__Hardy At least they told you where to look! Parcel l sent to my toddler twin nephews in Sheffield was left by the courier in their (parents’) recycle bin. No notifcation of location. Luckily we solved mystery one day before recycle bin collected, parcel hidden below 1.5 weeks recycle

@stueymaco @JustBusyWriting Do you mean these cheap retro fly curtains, is what we call them anyway. £3 in Robert Dyas sale. A bargain and they keep about 1 in 10 of the blue bottle flies out of the kitchen

@BonnieGarmus such a brilliant novel - had to stay up late two nights in a row to finish reading it!

[Cate Searle @CateSearle]

Seems shabby that the very government who want to restrict the right of others to seek #judicialreview are now seeking to judicially review the terms of reference of the #CovidEnquiry that they set up. I’m not sure you could make it up. Hope #BaronessHallett gets the docs / info!

We have a spare three day ticket for @thegreatescape next weekend (11-13 May). Was bought at super early bird prices, so £60. A bargain for a great weekend of music!

@TommyCoyneBN1 Ok this is wrong, I asked for a GIF of Michael Aspel to whom I was chosen to hand a pile of sponsorship money when I was a Brownie Guide in the 1970s, but it turns out there is no Michael Aspel GIF so I got a picture of George Michael instead

[Cate Searle @CateSearle]

@TommyCoyneBN1 They came in to the fish & chip restaurant where I was a waitress when I was 16

@clarioncopteam @DanielJHerman Daniel if no one has picked this up will you message me or call the Brighton office to speak to me on Friday ? Sorry late to look at Twitter today !

[Cate Searle @CateSearle]

Really valuable reading and big bold ideas to save #socialcare from collapse - but needs massive investment

@virginmedia I am having huge problems cancelling the Internet account of a friend who died 5 months ago - can you supply the contact details of the department who can help?

[Cate Searle @CateSearle]

@TommyCoyneBN1 Thanks Tommy - I love running interactive training sessions / workshops & it was great to spend time with the #AgeUK team debating all things #socialcare related - the questions were brilliant. The knowledge and resources your teams offer to your clients are truly excellent !

[Cate Searle @CateSearle]

@dewaalkc As a trainee solicitor 25 years ago, I instructed lovely barrister to run a novel human rights housing law case in Court of Appeal. By lunch-break not going well, I asked if I could get him anything. He said yes, a decent legal argument. I actually did go to Blackstones to look

@guardiannews He only has 7000 majority. Surely not impossible for 7000 voters in Uxbridge to take stock/ change habits / sides & vote for *anyone but Boris* at the next election? Or maybe 7000 people move to Uxbridge to vote him out in a gerrymandering reverse tribute to Shirley Porter?
