@nursedoubled@DeeGBP with the sugar tax they will give you Coke Zero! I don’t want Coke Zero I want to pay for the sugar (full fat) I think it’s like saying full fat milk lol
Watching Mo Gilligans ‘Big Chicken’ on Netflix. Genuine question: as a meat eater, how much chicken should I be eating a week? Because I don’t want to be contributing to this insanity.
Honour of lifetime to be Minister for Safeguarding.
Quickly found contents overwhelmingly triggering.
Did bravest thing I’ve ever done & told PMs team I sadly couldn’t stay.
Victims deserve someone at their best.
I wish my successor well & will do all I can to support them.
@BrookieUtd@wcchen Probs because he was raised by his mum only as a single mum. However this wasn’t even the point of the original post- he has Jamaican heritage end of lol
Gna need a Bellingham & Tuchel photo like we had with Taylor Swift and Beyonce to quash the rumours. I hope no one on the team is reading these rags
I genuinely think he should stick it out. We haven’t had consistency from prime ministers in 6(?) years what does this say about labour if people are quitting left right and centre. It’s a difficult time to get it right sure, just stick until the next G.E
🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer is officially set to resign as Prime Minister
Several media reports say he'll outline a resignation timetable on Monday after consulting with his wife and family today
Hi @SuellaBraverman and @RobertJenrick, will you be issuing a statement about the man arrested for the disgusting knife attack in Belfast?
He flew from Paris to Dublin 10.02.2023 and travelled to Belfast where he claimed asylum, his LTR was granted 28.09.2023.
This was when you were Home Secretary and Immigration Minister respectively.
@Nigel_Farage and @reformparty_uk, trust you will be looking in to this.
H/T @dave43law for the research.
I talk about the link between oral and heart health all the time, the dentist is one thing I do spend money on I know there are fears etc I’ll never forget a documentary of a young man who died of a heart attack after an infection in his tongue piercing. Please take care
I’m such a huge advocate for dental hygiene, unfortunately John died due to heart complications caused by decades of ignored dental issues.
Guys, please look after your teeth, if you’re fully able book a dental appointment today.
I’ll never forget cussing him out in his comments along with others- something I don’t usually do lol but I felt vehemently that he was wrong. And now look. All that for nothing but burnt bridges.
I left school when I was 17 (got 'asked to leave', is the more accurate term I guess). This was 1997.
My unqualified, entry-level salary was more than the average salary now.
My Dad - hopping mad - had sent me to three months of secretarial college and I came out into an £18k job in the local Glaxo factory as an admin assistant.
To give a sense of how long ago this was - my boss would hand-write messages onto sheets of paper and I would touch-type them into this new-fangled 'email' thing she couldn't fathom.
Nearly 30 years later, the equivalent - in purchasing power at least - would be £36k.
A year later, I parlayed that up to a £21k job in the R&D side - still as a PA, 18 years old.
I saved up and went to Taiwan to teach English for a bit. When I got back, I went to London and got a job earning £24k designing presentations and documents in a marketing agency.
I was 20yo.
The equivalent in 2026 would be £46k.
With zero qualifications beyond the ability to touch-type and a certificate saying I could use Word, Excel and PowerPoint, I was on 1.35x the average salary now.
I made a lot of mistakes as a kid. Most of my mates did.
But the economy I lived in allowed the messiness of life to roll out. We could learn, take risks and still be able to live and breathe.
We are failing future generations.
And we have a generation that's already been failed.
Our politicians are addicted to cheap slogans. They want power, not service. The failure of their reality-denying ideologies continues to spiral outwards.
Yes, immigration plays a role. Yes, housing, technology and deindustrialisation play a role. But the state has morphed into a deeply incompetent, self-indulgent boondoggle machine, that spends more time bribing voters than it does serving - or investing in - the country.
Savita Halappanavar was miscarrying.
The fetal sack was exiting her body, but the waters wouldn’t break.
The foetus had 0 chance of survival, but doctors in Ireland wouldn’t assist because ‘abortion’
She died at 31 of sepsis.
An enquiry found medical misadventure killed her.
I have zero clue why on earth she would even make this comparison and it’s further proves everything I think of her and why she’s even in this position in the first place
'Do we not care about Jews as much as black people?'
@NickFerrariLBC gives us something to think about after @KemiBadenoch said that if black churches were being attacked, there would be a national emergency.
