Britons are hoarding enough unused wires in their ‘drawers of doom’ to provide 30% of the copper required to decarbonise the UK grid by 2030.

That feeling when you wait in a queue for four hours only to be told the price of the ticket has risen from £148 to... £355??? Because they're 'in demand'. How is this not illegal?

No idea how yesterday happened. None at all.

With the Greens now having the same number of seats as Reform, the UK media should provide them the same platform and level of coverage as Farage’s ilk. Will it happen though? #GE24

Things the Labour gave my family:
The NHS
Tax Credits/free childcare so I could work
Chance to buy home
Fixed school
Carers leave so I didn't lose my job when mom was dying
Paternity leave
Child trust fund

Things conservative gave us:
£1000 increase on my mortgage each month.

An anecdote of an interaction with a patient that has stayed with me for 15 years.

When I was a fresh-faced 2nd year doctor in a GP practice, a young lady came for an appointment.

She couldn’t have been more than 5 years older than me.

The reason was ‘work stress’

A long 🧵

Winston Churchill refused to ration Fish & Chips as he felt they were essential to the British people’s morale. It’s therefore appropriate that on @D-Day we also celebrate #FishandChipsDay2024

Love this!

Me: Nearly Monday again. Totally ready for it.

Narrator: But she wasn't ready. She wasn’t ready at all.

I spend a lot of time insisting 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ain’t like Hollywood romanticises it. Then St Andrews ambushes me with this. @OldCourseHotel @TravWriters

I’m not quite sure how to explain what’s happened tonight, because it’s still happening - but here goes…

At 4:40pm I jumped on a train from London to Edinburgh..

It was comfy, it was quiet

In hindsight, too good to last…

[Mother Dig! @hllmcnr]

Wise words!

Disgracefully dealt with by the UK government. A multi billion £ industry hung out and left to die. The arts seen as flippant by the minority.

[Mother Dig! @hllmcnr]

@JenniSpangler1 @chrismouldink I think this is something I'd like to try.
