3 years ago today, I tested positive for an infection that has changed my life. I’m 36 and have been disabled for 3 years. I will have to take medication for the rest of my life. I have had pain every day for 3 years. I have learnt to parent with deafness, blurred vision, 1/3

"We tried to stop the small boat crossings without changing our laws.
But an activist blob of left-wing lawyers, civil servants and the Labour Party blocked us."

"Blob"?
Who are these people who've taken over the party I once loved? Shocking.

Sometimes it feels like broken Britain with inflation and strikes and flu etc ...so I'd like to be positive and send a big thankyou to @DVLAgovuk I've had to deal with them a lot in the last few weeks and they've been fast and efficient. The staff are friendly and polite. 10/10

@rowlsmanthorpe Stop taking the cash and move. Simple

Just before morning prayers, the security guards woke him in his cell and told him to get ready “we want to hang you”. Islamic Republic executed him for the crime of peacefully protesting and demanding freedom.
Mehdi Karami was only 22 years old. His parents were street peddlers.

Some Brexiters have got in touch to tell me I’m making stuff up when I say that Vote Leave campaigned on the idea that Brexit would mean shorter wait times for medical treatment. So, here is the evidence:

[Julie Girling #FBPE @juliegirling]

2012 to 2022 cumulative pay increases
MPs 28%
Nurses 12%

Both are covered by HMG appointed "independent " pay review panels ..so why the difference? Can someone please ask @OliverDowden ? He says that nurses should think again about strikes.
Very distasteful🤮

If you've ever wondered what proportion of the population really benefits from a Tory government you now have the answer. It's 23%..the 23% who are inexplicably still saying that they would vote Conservative tomorrow.

@John_Furbisher 🤣

[Julie Girling #FBPE @juliegirling]

Why is the news overwhelmed by details of an election in which only 0.002% of the population have a vote? Yes, I know the winner will be our PM but I am powerless to influence the outcome. Why isn't the media dominated by calls for constitutional reform? #DemocracyMatters

[Julie Girling #FBPE @juliegirling]

@John_Furbisher Hi John! Understood....but it's not entertainment or sport (well not supposed to be). Saturation coverage is counterproductive. Emphasises the arcane process and the fact that virtually everyone has no role to play in it.

Dear @BorisJohnson,

I hear Rwanda is a lovely place to spend your retirement.

@anjahazekamp @Act4AnimalsEU Congratulations Anja!

[James Clarke @thatjamesclarke]

The Johnson Tories rap sheet is even more impressive than you thought.
sexual assaults, financial corruption, bribery/lobbying, illegal parties, (plus tractor porn).
You have to wonder if these hardened criminals can be rehabilitated at all…

@SimonClarkeMP So MPs get inflation proof increases, awarded to themselves, by themselves and the rest of us have to fight inflation and suck it up. That's +£19k since 2010. You are the definition of a hypocrite. #inflation time for a big change.

[Julie Girling #FBPE @juliegirling]

Hilarious!

[Ex-Cllr Ian Parsons #FBNHS @IanLabour]

Yesterday was a good day to bury bad news. The HS2 £3 billion link to the west coast main line has been scrapped. Anyone who believes Johnson's levelling-up agenda needs their bumps read.
