@SusanlLawson You probably made her defensive and more inclined to double down on her point of view, so yes. (That doesn't mean you weren't accurate).

@HalehMoravej Ouch, I've never had it that bad, but they've booked my next venesection for 8:15am, so not much time to get hydrated.

Hello. I don't want to waste these non refundable saver train tickets. They are single journeys. Will one of these tickets help you? If so tell me why (send me your email via my dms) and I will send you a ticket.

[Martin Putwain @mrputwain]

@laurenlaverne , who picked this cloud busting mix, I salute you 🫡

@HalehMoravej I don't know about the dachshunds, with their irrational hatred of 'big dogs'.

Seeing lots of rather dubious takes flying round twitter about the effects of adding VAT to private school fees or removing their charitable status.

Lots of “but think of the poor struggling parents” and “there’ll be a mass exodus FLOODING state schools” etc

Fox News and Rupert Murdoch lost $787,500,000 for lying about the US Election being fixed.

Now it’s time to hit them again and again.

If you want Rupert Murdoch bankrupt and Fox News/The Sun gone give this a RT/Like.

Follow me, I Followback.
