Hardly much competition, but the most inspirational story of 2021 so far?

Three years ago, I set out to investigate a beloved local tradition, the Battle Bonfire. The result is a travesty, which will inevitably cause offence to the local community and lead to my permanent banishment. Here it is. #battlebonfire #bonfirenight https://t.co/tg2CAGEvGq

Watching ‘The Shining’ and just noticed a mistake. The hotel is supposed to be empty but at one point Jack goes into the ballroom and there are hundreds of people inside having a party. #moviemistakes

Everyone needs reminding that after 9 years of a Tory Government:

Child poverty + 50%
Food-bank use + 1,000%
Homelessness + 170%
NHS waiting list + 70%
Police numbers - 20%
Crime + 30%
Local gov funding - 50%
Public sector pay - 15%

Never forget how cruel they are.
