@London_W4 Sutton Hoo is one of my favourite days ever. Make sure to sign up for the guided tour, you get to walk amongst the mounds and we actually got to sit on the mound with the ship burial.

@DoctorWhoPN Saved my autistic child. When she was at her lowest, out of school, struggling with mental health and wondering how to go on, Dr Who, in her words ‘gave me something to hang on to’.

@CinemaTweets1 Saw it last night. Rarely does anything make me cry. This moment did.

@piersmorgan Yeah it can do, but they are used to it and know what they're dealing with so it doesn't hold you up.

@LauraSRobinson I have stayed up way past my bedtime to finish The Art of a Lie. Wonderful, twisty turny stuff and that ending…many thanks for another fabulous read!

@goodreads James by Percival Everett. Stunning.

I’ve done a bit of research into these claims, and here is what I found regarding how Kemi is misrepresenting the facts and why this is pure disinformation:
1. The "Free Car" Myth: Framing this as a "taxpayer-funded car" is a complete distortion of how Motability works. It is exclusively a lease scheme. Claimants voluntarily exchange their Personal Independence Payment (PIP) mobility allowance to cover the lease cost. If you remove their access to the car, the state still pays them that cash allowance. The cost to the taxpayer is identical; the only difference is that disabled people lose their independence.
2. The "Mild" Condition Lie: This is the most dangerous part. You cannot get the Enhanced Mobility Rate (required for a car) for "low-level" anxiety or "mild" depression. To qualify, a condition must be severe enough to functionally prevent a person from planning or following a journey safely. Framing debilitating psychological distress as "mild" is a calculated move to stigmatise disabled people and incite public anger.
3. Cherry-picked Stats: The claim that a "third of all sales" come from this scheme is statistically misleading. Nationally, the figure is closer to 15%. Using extreme regional outliers to imply the entire market is skewed is simply dishonest.
This isn't about "fixing welfare"; it’s about stripping independence from vulnerable people to score political points. Readers, please check the actual criteria before falling for this spin.

@TheTweetOfGod Are we the disappointment? Yeah.
It must be us.

@LouiseLee157850 @CounsellingSam Came here to say this - only discovered it last year and it's one of the most enjoyable things I've seen on tv!

@Mangofantasy @bertsbooks It’s my first read of hers and I really loved it.

[Tracey Harrison @tracey_ta]

@Mangofantasy Sehr gut! (That is my limit for German words.)

[Tracey Harrison @tracey_ta]

This has filled my heart with joy today.

@emreadsthebooks Reading Stephen Fry’s Odyssey which I’m enjoying, I read his Troy last year and have Mythos waiting on my tbr pile!

[Tracey Harrison @tracey_ta]

@emreadsthebooks @35Nicola35 I enjoyed this (very far from a young adult at 59!) I thought the idea was unusual and I wasn’t expecting the conclusion.

@karen4013 I have managed to avoid it so far - I absolutely love Tilly and Poe, my husband is from Cumbria so we know most of the areas mentioned pretty well. The characters are so well drawn and the plots are always surprising - so to have a plot ruined - ugh!!
