Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either:
a. Incompetent
b. In the pockets of people who'd rather they didn't
c. a & b
How about fulfilling your NHS contract?
Where did he relocate the beers? 😉
Same for all grey cars please?
An important reminder
We still don't know how the £37 Billion?! was spent on test and trace. Dido Harding needs to be held to account to.

Screenshot of Tommy Ten Names, claiming he's afraid and fleeing the UK.
Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?
Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.
1. Interesting to see Reform abandon its flirtation with nativism / birth rate boosterism in favour of the policy of the last Tory government
2. “Starve a kid for a cheaper pint” is quite the policy. Be interested to see how that performed in focus groups (especially all male versus mixed).
Ok, let’s do this🙄
We’ll start with an explainer covering:

Less is More (More or Less) While it may be hopelessly optimistic to think we can get an accurate estimate of how common oxymorons are these days, we can be almost certain that in a world of fake news and alternative facts, it's a figure which isn't growing smaller. And while some may be awfully good, critically acclaimed or have real potential, others are often clearly confused or essentially useless, with pretty horrible results. Even those which claim to be 'new and improved' are nearly always extremely average. It's an open secret that some oxymorons are nothing more than meaningful nonsense. My impartial advice would be to treat them with either reckless caution or utter silence. And the same goes for tautologies, too, if past history is to be believed. Brian Bilston

1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10
457 UK armed forces personnel died in Afghanistan during the 20-year deployment.
This is a fucking hideous thing to say. Even by his non-existent standards.

New study suggests that metastatic cancer cells may evade the immune system by stealing mitochondria from immune cells and setting up a ‘shield’ that protects them from being killed by immune cells. Wiley little bastards.

Due to inclement conditions, North Tyneside Education are advising that for drop offs parents wear two pairs of pyjamas this week! 😉
When parents are afraid to let their children cycle, that’s not “choice” - it’s policy failure.
Unsafe roads + patchy Bikeability = less independence, worse health, more car dependence.
Children deserve safe streets.

Let’s go back to 2010!
We didn’t need cancer pathways as urgent referrals were seen in 2-3 weeks, routine in 2-3 months
Recruitment was rising, jobs were good. It wasn’t perfect but in 4 decades of NHS work it was the best it had been
THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED ….
If you have any doubt who you are voting for let this remind you. The rich are not your friends.
Huzzah! Northumberland’s Council has solved its housing waiting list by simply deleting half the people on the list - those whose need for housing is least.
People. Who. Don’t. Need. Housing.
When did we leave the path of Santa so completely?
