As we pause the satire to remember Ann Widdecombe, this 2011 interview on Graham Norton captures her remarkable optimism and zest for life. She knew we only get one life and believed in making the most of every opportunity. Her example is one we can all carry with us.

[Rt Hon Nigel Evans @nigelmp]

This is nothing short of Brilliant by Ann……. Sit back and follow the straightness of the compass that will always land you on solid ground. Thank you Ann and rest in Peace whilst your legacy lives on. X

Alex Phillips outstanding tribute to Ann Widdecombe.

It's a pity we haven't got 650 MP's in Parliament just like Ann Widdecombe fighting for her people.

NHS FRAUD CAUGHT ON CAMERA, NOBODY CARED

Sharmila Chowdhury @sharmilaxx gave the @NHS 30 years of clean service. Not one blemish. Then she did something apparently unforgivable. She noticed two consultant radiologists at Ealing Hospital, now part of London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust @LNWH_NHS, were billing the NHS for shifts they were actually spending at a private hospital down the road.

Getting paid twice for the same hours. That is fraud everywhere except, it turns out, inside the NHS complaints system.

She reported it. To her line manager. To the Medical Director. To the HR Director. To Counter Fraud. To the Chief Executive. To Number 10. To the Treasury. She built a paper trail so thorough that ITV @itvnews later sent an undercover team into the hospital and filmed the same consultants years on, still taking cash from patients for private ultrasounds inside NHS premises.

The Trust's response to all that diligence was to sack her, based on counter allegations later shown to be fabricated.

The man behind those allegations reportedly signed off an email too crude to print here ..........

....... He picked up a Top Mentor award from the Trust that same year. You could not write comedy this good on purpose.

Sharmila took it to tribunal and won. She won her appeal too. The judge told the Trust to reinstate her. The Trust said no. She was then quietly blacklisted across the NHS. One job offer was withdrawn the moment they worked out who she was. Legal costs hit £130,000.

Somewhere in the middle of it she developed breast and lung cancer, which her doctors link to years of sustained stress.

The two consultants kept their jobs. George Osborne could not get involved. Andrew Lansley could not get involved. David Cameron could not get involved. Every one of them filed it under employment matter, which is Whitehall for we would rather not know.

A proven fraud case, covered by ITV @itvnews, the Guardian, Daily Mail @DailyMail, Channel 4 News @Channel4News, the Independent @Independent, BBC News @BBCNews, the Times @thetimes and the Daily Mirror @DailyMirror. The official position of Her Majesty's Government was still not our problem.

This is the reward system in action. Report fraud, lose your career, lose your health, and watch the people you reported get promoted.

You’ve probably been told Lancashire changed in 1974.

It didn’t.

Council boundaries changed.

Lancashire didn’t.

The County of Lancaster still exists - with boundaries rooted in centuries of history.

Kemi Badenoch absolutely flattened Keir Starmer at PMQs, tearing into Labour’s weak defence spending plan and exposing the danger it leaves Britain in.

Another full broadside from the Conservative leader, sharp, serious and utterly on target.

"Not a farmer alive that supports Labour"

[Claire Coutinho @ClaireCoutinho]

Last night we voted against Ed Miliband’s new Net Zero target.

Why? Watch this.

Not a single Labour MP could say what it will mean for the cost of food or energy for our constituents - or for British jobs and industry.

They’re going to spend hundreds of billions of pounds of YOUR money and they didn’t even seem to care what it will mean for you.

Parliament should be better than this.

[James Rebanks @herdyshepherd1]

Has anyone ever published a more useless document than this?

It basically says we want nature and food, but won’t pay more for either, and expect nature to magically appear from farmers chasing profit more ruthlessly

Total bollocks
It is the emptiest document I’ve ever read
