Sixty something going on forty, loves family, friends, travel, champagne, chocolate and The Archers. Not necessarily in that order....and not sixty anymore.

@NewYorker Dear me, is that what passes for poetry nowadays? Well, each to their own. I’m sure someone likes it.

We understand times are hard and if you are affected by this issue, you have little cash to spare. But donations from the 3.6 million women affected and their friends and families will ensure we can cover our costs. Thank you for supporting @WASPI_Campaign #WASPI #notgoingaway

On International Women’s Day, one group of women are still fighting for justice. Shamefully, this has been denied them by their own government, here in the UK. Help us #AccelerateAction for #WASPI #1950swomen. Stand in solidarity. #IWD2025

Was it for this that the US spent 80 years building power and alliances? Not to be a force for good. But instead to impoverish neighbours, threaten those it protected, rob minerals from war-torn countries, and break its promises to 100s of millions of the poorest in the world? 🧵

@piersmorgan Where’s Michael Spicer when you need him? Come on Michael, A Room Next Door please….

@LauraMcAllister @plascilybebyll Worth the wait, Laura. It was a wonderful, joyous, love filled day and a privilege to be part of it.

When Junior Doctors are on £16 an hour and MP's are on £46 an hour.

And raising the Junior Doctors pay by £4 an hour is unaffordable, even though they just raised MP's pay by £5 an hour.

It's hard not to see the lie.

RT if Junior Doctors NEED paying.

Even @thecarolemalone a journalist who was used to researching facts was unaware of the changes to her State Pension Age! Along with many #DWPs staff who also didn't know! @WASPI_2018 @WASPI_Campaign #waspiwomen We Didn't Know!! #MPs

[Llinos Jones @llinos]

Excellent piece by @megan_feringa about the amazing @LauraMcAllister

Dawn Butler, Labour has tabled a vote to remove the Whip from Liz Truss and Suella Braverman, because their Islamophobic statements break the Ministerial Code.

RT if you would remove the whip from Suella Braverman
Like for Liz Truss

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

I am right in thinking everyone wants to Rejoin the EU aren't I?

Like if you do
RT if you really do

Alan Bates turned down an OBE as Paula Vennells, the woman in charge of the Post Office through the Horizon Scandal, retains her CBE and refuses to give it back.

A man of honour 🙏🏼❤️

#MrBatesVsThePostOffice #PostOfficeScandal

Alan, 69: “The first thing that sprang to my mind while reading the letter (offering me an OBE) was Paula Vennells still had a CBE. I felt so deeply insulted. She presided over a policy of harassing hundreds of innocent people. It’s not just that the Government hasn’t asked her to return it. What’s even worse is that despite knowing the strength of feeling about it, how people have suffered and some cases died on her watch – she doesn’t feel inclined to give it back.”

Alan accepted a @PrideOfBritain award in 2023.
We were over the moon to give that to him.

Not all heros wear capes 💜

[Omid Djalili @omid9]

The world is finally aware that the “Islamic” Republic of Iran have been funding and training the terrorists that attacked Israel. So here are SOME QUESTIONS FOR THE REGIME:

HOW DO YOU EVEN DARE TO SPEAK OUT against Israeli oppression, when 10M Jews, Christians, Bahá’ís and Muslims have left Iran for fear of being killed or meaninglessly executed?

HOW DO YOU DARE TO TRY and align yourselves with an oppressed people, when you’ve raped & slaughtered your own people for the past 44 years?

HOW DO YOU DARE TO SPARK A WAR THAT NO ONE WANTS except a fanatical minority which celebrates the slaughter of Israeli civilians, including hundreds of women & children?

HOW DO YOU DARE DISPLACE 260,000 Palestinians so children continue to be born in Gaza with no prospects other than a choice between misery or death?

NO ONE WANTS more war crimes inflicted on yet more civilians. What is coming is chilling. And it will get worse:
Russia backing the IRI because they’re dependent on the IRGC for military hardware & drones, war in the Ukraine, the US parked in the Mediterranean and Israel fighting Hamas in the south, Hezbollah in the north and potentially the IRI too, it’s a world war that will affect every single one of us.

If we are humanitarians, everyone of us on this platform must call for a cease fire immediately. We know what each side is capable of. Killing more innocent people gets us nowhere other than a fast track to Armageddon.

@LauraMcAllister The best! Well done Annie. And credit to her mamis

@Rachael_Swindon @lucyallan "They’re entitled to up to £5,400 per child as a second home expense under guidelines designed to help MPs with families rent larger homes.
But many are topping up their £22,760 standard rental allowance by claiming for children in their 20s."

I have once again called on the UK Government to deliver fair and fast compensation to the @WASPI_Campaign. Pensioners are already feeling the financial wrath caused by the cost of living crisis and this has dragged on for too long. It is time for this injustice to be resolved.
