In 2017 after the death of the late Tessa Jowell from a Glioblastoma @DHSCgovuk gave @NIHRresearch £40,000,000 for brain tumour research. Shockingly it’s still not spent. In that time 22,400 ppl incl Margaret will have been diagnosed & most will be dead. Why aren���t they sacked?
@WimbledonNewsie@Merton_Council@WimbledonNewsie - it reported on the same list and research and Merton was number 4 in the best places list... it didn't give it the same prominence obviously....
Yesterday marked one of the most significant days in the naval calendar & the 219th anniversary of #TrafalgarDay 🫡
A ceremony took place onboard HMS Victory where sailors & guests took time to remember Adm Lord Nelson as well as all those who fell as a result of the battle.
Notre Dame Cathedral isn't just an architectural masterpiece...
It's a Phoenix rising from the ashes of 2019.
Let's check out the geometry, engineering and willpower that make this 860 year old temple truly extraordinary... 🧵
@AFCWimbledon Hopefully, NUFC will give you guys the gate receipts to help out with repairs, etc. It'll be good to see the Wimbledon fans back at SJP 😉
@kellyjo52 Thanks Kelly, I suppose it’s possible Nelson & @EmmaLadyH had a nibble from this tree… I'll pop over there when I get a moment & check it out @LMulberries @Merton_Hist_Soc https://t.co/sBv2WkeHkE
Today I am announcing that I will be seeking the Labour nomination for the Croydon and Sutton London Assembly selection. This is an area where I have deep roots having grown up in Addiscombe and Carshalton, along with where I first joined the Labour Party in 1994. 1/5
