Times are hard and people feel stressed, stretched and vulnerable. It won't change without careful, caring listening and @samaritans do what we can exceptionally well. demand is outstripping supply But are powerful people listening and will they ever change their priorities?

@bartramsgob Alnmouth isn't too shabby either.

@jonniegrieve Kim McGuiness made a major announcement on transport just the other day, sadly been totally subsumed by other understandably attention-grabbing stuff

So let's get this right. One Reform MP reported to police for bullying and making threats of physical violence. Another Reform MP has been to prison for repeatedly assaulting his then girlfriend. Another Reform MP has been photographed with a former C18 thug. And a party leader who spoke admiringly of Andrew Tate.

What the hell sort of party is ReformUK??

Right, we all know Blue Monday isn’t real and our mental health doesn’t fit neatly into a calendar. But as it’s trending again this year, we’ll use this moment to share some words that could hopefully bring comfort when tough days do happen.

Retweet to help us get real info out.

It's Brew Monday! ☕✨ Today is about so much more than the actual brew itself. We’re not just obsessed with tea, we promise!

It's all about the moments that happen around the brew, and the small but mighty power that asking ‘shall we have a cuppa and chat?’ can have. 🧵

[Samaritans @samaritans]

The tea chart has spoken! Do you agree with your #BrewMonday drink or are you ready to kick off in the comments? 🤣

Honestly, we’re just trying to get your attention before Brew Monday tomorrow! It’s not really about the drink, it’s about making time for a catch up together. 💚

[Samaritans @samaritans]

We need your help again with #BrewMonday this year!

Every year Blue Monday trends, and we’ve had enough – it’s a completely made-up concept. With your help we’re ready to take over the day again. ☕

Join us on 20 January and reach out for a cuppa and catch up with a mate. 💚

It might feel extra hard to reach out for help today because it’s Christmas. But please know you don’t have to face anything alone. If you’re having a hard time, we’ll face it with you. We’re here all day and night 💚

Saw Nick Cave in Paris recently at the Accor Arena and I was really struck by that song Joy where he sings “We’ve all had too much sorrow, now it the time for joy.” I was thinking to myself, yeah that’s about right.
