Reminder to people that Pattinson is almost certainly the lead

@anon_opin If a bog standard pub does that, it either means you aren't spending any money, you stink, or you're behaving like a bellend.
If its a pub/restaurant, they have every right to as they will have bookings for food

Just tell Donald, Elon and Peter Thiel and the rest of their fascist ilk, plus any of their supporters to FUCK OFF... It's the British way.

@Finumus1 the service charge is fucking mental.. the end

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

This is Trevor Fisher, an inpatient in @ArthurRankHouse in Cambridgeshire, speaking to @Channel4News this week.

I am a palliative care specialist and Trevor’s interview has devastated me.

His hospice has just found out that in 6 months, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust will withdraw its £800k funding.

This means that 9 of the hospice’s 16 beds will close, denying patients like Trevor the precious end-of-life care they need.

In total, 200 people a year in Cambridgeshire will now be forced to die in an overcrowded hospital instead of the hospice environment they so longed for. Some will doubtless end up dying on trolleys in corridors - we witness this far too often, these days & I can tell you, it is barbaric.

@CUH_NHS says it has made this “very difficult decision” following a “value for money assessment” - confirming what I have long known as a doctor, that too often, patients with terminal illnesses are treated as second class citizens whose lives simply don’t matter as much as other people's.

Yet the real responsibility here lies not with the NHS trust but with the current government, who is forcing the NHS nationwide to cut clinical services in order to meet impossible “efficiency savings” (what weasel words those are).

These cuts were necessary, say @CUH_NHS, “in order to maintain core services within a reduced budget” - that is to say, the reduced budget they are now receiving from this government.

So this is on you, @wesstreeting, and on you @UKLabour. You've chosen to do this & now patients like Trevor must live - and die - with your choices.

I believe that the measure of a civilised country is how well it cares for its most vulnerable members. The difference between politicians and me is that I look the palliative care patients they are failing in the eye.

So I will put it to you directly, Mr Streeting.

We are still a rich country capable of affording decent, humane palliative care for all. Do you really care so little for dying people that you are happy to fail them on your watch?

Thank you @channel4news for covering this story.

A brilliant table, laying it out in black and white. We all admire and enjoy hospitality when abroad on holiday, but then wonder why it seems different in the UK - more expensive, with so many big chains serving value-engineered offers. Here is one very significant reason.

[Mr Demos of Pnyx @gem_ste]

Concorde ended up simply taking rich people across the Atlantic, but it remains a sterling example of post-war government led R&D, ambition and visions of the future. We are now administered by governments of managed decline and rent extraction and told there is no alternative.

It’s illegal to say I support Palestine Action. So I definitely won’t ever say I support Palestine Action because if I did say I support Palestine Action, I could go to prison. You shouldn’t say I support Palestine Action.

Dear @BBC

I want to see Kneecap's Glastonbury set. Why can't I find it on iPlayer? 🤔

[The Balls on the Falls @BeechieBoys]

"Rod Stewart is older than Israel" is an all time classic by Kneecap. Not one fuck given by the lads.

Imagine if the charlatan in this video was a disgraced former Secretary of State for Housing who failed to build any new affordable housing when he had the chance.
