Yesterday morning I took my mum to the GP feeling unwell and they found a satsuma-sized lump.
She was given a referral for suspected gynaecological cancer and sent for an urgent blood test.
What happened next shocked me. This is what NHS privatisation means in practice👇1/🧵
@diazjulio0071@mehdirhasan Supporting an ally doesn't mean giving them a blank cheque. If your friend is mugged, you support them. But if they then plan to murder the mugger's family in revenge, you support them by stopping them from making that mistake. Not by handing them a weapon.
@CCLXXXI@andrewcarleton7 Maybe. But who gives a shit? They're different leagues, not competitors.
Plenty of lesser-skilled heavyweight boxers would KO the world's best welterweight. That doesn't make the welterweight champion any less of a champion.
Fox News says Hasan Piker used a antisemitic trope by saying Israel advocacy groups pushed for his ban. And then in the following sentence details how said groups pushed for his ban.
I was supposed to chair the @hasanthehun discussion at SXSW this week, who's been banned from entering the UK by Shabana Mahmood. First of all, @sxsw must facilitate a way for Hasan and Cenk to contribute remotely, as a bare minimum refusal to comply with government censorship.
I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!
@authenticWMN @PaulaCoyscot @marksandspencer It’s not a public place, it’s a private business. They can set their own rules, including restrictions on recording.
They have a duty of care to their staff. M&S should hand out a lifetime ban to people who harass their employees.
In 2019 MPs voted on including a Customs Union in the withdrawal agreement. It was defeated 276-273. If 2 MPs had voted the other way it would have passed
Among those who voted against were 5 LibDems, including Ed Davey. Why? They didnt want to do anything that helped Corbyn
@owenjonesjourno@Boudicca_uk_ua I suspect that the vast majority of the public will support the officers' actions. There is an important election coming up, where we can put two fingers up at Labour. Better to focus on things the public agree with the Greens on, rather than being dragged into the weeds.
