[Out with Prostate Cancer @OwProstateCa]

There are still some ELEPHANTS IN THE ROOM around #prostate #cancer BEING A MAN GETS IN THE WAY OF BEING A MAN WITH PROSTATE CANCER here's 90 min of chemotherapy in 90 secs for my metastatic prostate cancer (hip & lungs) I hope this starts to help breakdown some of those barriers

Despite how I feel, despite the pain and everything else, I’m still glad to open my eyes in the morning

Was a time I’d have been up in arms over this but as the BBC 10 o’clock News has turned into the Hugh, Laura and Katya show spouting their opinions instead of news and constantly thanking each other, I’m no longer that fussed https://t.co/4B407sDIjU

Yesterday, Theresa May said her party had a proud tradition of protecting workers’ rights.

 The party behind the Trade Union Act and tribunal fees? The government that refuses to ban zero-hours contracts?

We won't be taken in. Our hard-won rights aren't safe in their hands.

Now the government has scrapped the ferry contract with the company that’s got no ferries because it’s ‘unviable’ - can we do so with the whole of Brexit, which is equally unviable ?

And get a viable Transport Secretary into the bargain!

Andrea Leadsom just said "No one in the UK voted for Donald Tusk". He was voted in in 2017 by 27 out of 28 votes. The dissenter was Poland. So someone in the UK must have voted for him. Once again @bbcnews failing to hold Brexity politicians to account.

Here we go again.

Liam Neeson’s anger I get. Liam Neeson’s racism and desire to kill I don’t. You don’t have to be white to be good. You don’t have to be other than white to be bad. Why base anything on race? One race, the human race, but why anything else? Sorry if I’m putting this badly.

The DUP calling the EU and ROI intransigent made me think Pot Kettle Black. The DUP have intransigence off to a fine art.

A huge blow for Sunderland and the north east. Painful proof that the government's failure on Brexit is hurting investment in the areas that need it most.

Dear Daniel - here are the top three recipients of Marshall Plan money:

United Kingdom (26% of the total)
France (18%)
West Germany (11%).

Total number of European countries who received money: 18.

It would be good if you could infuse your prejudice with a fact or two. Thanks

The mrs has been summoned into the office with the rest of the employees next week - told to bring in her passport . Most of the office hold european passports . This reminds me of something that would happen in hitlers times - it’s a disgrace

The Washington Post has done what no one else has done. They’ve worked out what Brexit means...

If, on the other hand, Enzalutamide doesn’t work for me then, realistically, I’m looking at less than six months.

The new cancer meds I started yesterday are made in The Netherlands. Not being able to get them, even for a short time, could make the difference between life & death. Politicians please stop playing with Brexit. You are going to have blood on your hands. Mine #cancer #Brexit
