When you're not doing so well, vote for a better life for yourself. If you are doing quite nicely, vote for a better life for others.

If you practice compassion, whether you believe in a religion or not, you will come to realize the value of compassion for your own peace of mind. Even a small act of compassion grants meaning and purpose to our lives.

England win Euro 2022: The Queen leads tributes to Lionesses on win https://t.co/OjDhtDFbPj

Exhilarating to watch the England @Lionesses win the #WEURO2022 ! An inspiration not just for girls but for everyone - and, with their enthusiasm, story and teamwork they have also appealed to loads of people who don't usually watch football. 💯 a team to be proud of. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️🏆

@Fly_Norwegian should have actively notified customers with existing flex tickets that the possibility to change flights to other dates is suspended until mid August. Unnecessary to clog up customer service lines to find this out.

VG: "British Ryding's sensational win at prestigious Kitzbühel. Braathen in second." https://t.co/yPzDcExcwz

Aftenposten: "Two Norwegians on the podium, but the rest of this article is about the boy from Lancashire who learnt to ski on grass and never gave up the hope of a victory."

The Norwegian sport media covered this as the big news that it is! Dave Ryding became the first Brit to win any alpine skiing World Cup event. Slalom, yesterday, in Kitzbühel. He didn't grow up skiing on snow. Fantastic achievement! 💪🥳🥇🎿 https://t.co/zMlF1nIKDb

There seems to be a mistaken view that since the government funds the national broadcaster, the national broadcaster should report positively about the government, i.e. "Don't bite the hand that feeds you." But the BBC is funded by the public. The BBC should serve the public.

I get the anger but this “They didn’t follow the rules so why did I?” narrative is sad. People feel their sacrifices didn’t count for anything but they did: many thousands of people in this country are alive today because most of us did follow the rules. Worth remembering that.

The Daily Mail reporter clearly does not understand what impartiality is. This is a bit amusing, but also extremely worrying. https://t.co/2GmojkNPh5
