This is me. Take me as I am. I love to laugh, listen to great live music and spend time with friends. No agenda, no clue, no harm, no foul.

@TheLastLeg #IsItOk that your starting a new series and we are still no wiser about Brexit than when you ended the last one?

[Val Phillips @shepv]

@MattHancock you have not answered the question @doctor_oxford asked, but an entirely different question. We must therefore conclude you have something to hide.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

I will say it again, since you have not yet answered:

In the interests of NHS candour, please can you explain why you have blocked NHS trusts from publishing their Brexit impact assessments?

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

To clarify. It isn’t a row. It’s a specialist NHS cancer centre being forced to privatise part of its patient care.

And if @MattHancock doesn’t stop this, then his views on NHS privatisation will be perfectly, horribly clear. https://t.co/vhOQC4HfeO

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

We now know, thanks to @BBCNewsnight & the bravery of whistleblowing NHS neurologist @djnicholl, exactly how endangered some NHS patients may be by a No Deal Brexit.

I defy any politician to read this piece and continue blithely to big up No Deal 😔

@TheLastLeg #IsItOk for Jeremy Vines morning debate show to skew the debate by actively encouraging a voter whose views they already know to phone in?

[Val Phillips @shepv]

@JeremyVineOn5 I'm more concerned about you trying to handpick callers whose opinion you already know to skew the debate #politicalBias

[Val Phillips @shepv]

@Rob_Puckett No it's not ok.

[Val Phillips @shepv]

@TheLastLeg #IsItOk That Teressa May's Brexit deal gets a second vote, while denying us a second vote on the referendum? #planA = #planB in a different font.

[Val Phillips @shepv]

@TheLastLeg #isitok That Dyson is pushing a pro-Brexit agenda, while relocating his HQ to Singapour?

While telling MPs that they will be forced to vote for a 2nd time on the same deal they overwhelming rejected a week ago, the PM says it would be wrong to ask the public to vote again 30 months since a marginal result & in the light of lots of new information

[Val Phillips @shepv]

@BBCPolitics @Anna_Soubry Basically plan B is Plan A then, she's just put it in a different font. Way to compromise and consult Theresa!

@JeremyVineOn5 It’s funny - the Democratic process is what allows us to take a second vote. The hypocrisy of those claiming a second vote is not democratic I find amusing. It’s not about changing the vote, it’s about making a democratic choice based on new facts, the same as an election.

[Val Phillips @shepv]

@Biddibops @JeremyVineOn5 The whole "second vote isn't democracy" smells of fear that an extremely slim majority would no longer win.

Now we have more information with knowledge of the lies and corruption, opinions may well have changed. Either way a second vote would be more democratic than the first.

[Sally Hart @SallyR86]

@JeremyVineOn5 How can it have been a democratic vote if no one had a plan? How can anyone have known what they were voting for? The only way out is to form a plan, then let the people vote on it. That it what should have happened in the first place.

[Val Phillips @shepv]

@Anthony61957902 @JeremyVineOn5 The whole "second vote isn't democracy" smells of fear that you will lose your extremely slim majority should people be given a second chance, with knowledge of the lies and corruption of the first vote.

If you believe your position correct, you should not fear another vote.

[NotOnYourNelly 🙆🏼‍♀️ @Notonyournelly8]

@JeremyVineOn5 In 10/20 years time, when you are in your early 60s/70s you need to look back at this subject matter that you voiced in your early 50 and you’ll realise just how ageist and prejudiced you are being now. I’ve paid taxes since you were 7 years old and I’m still paying, pack it in!

[Val Phillips @shepv]

@JeremyVineOn5 @theJeremyVine @mikeparry8 @Jamelia If you’ve had a gut full of this Jamelia woman raise your hand 🖐

@loosewomen @nadiasawalha Absolutely no excuse for the able bodied to use disabled facilities. An urgency of toilet is a big part of the many illnesses. The time they need to wait could be the difference between an embarrassing mishap and dignity. #peopledonotchoosedisability

[Val Phillips @shepv]

@loosewomen @RuthieeL @nadiasawalha @StaceySolomon @NolanColeen @ITV @WeAreSTV On the subject of disabled loos. For some disabled people an urgency of toilet is part of the illness. The time they need to wait for an able person to vacate the loo could be the difference between an embarrassing mishap and dignity.
