Just been accused on here of being a “champagne socialist” (again). Amazing how many people don’t realise that is a compliment, not an insult. “Realise you’re lucky enough to have a comfortable life but want a fairer society for those who don’t? How dare you!” 🤦🏻♂️

Not that anyone asked, but I’m not going to be clapping for the NHS this week. Instead I’ll continue to march for it, protest for it, advocate for it, stay at home for it, & most importantly, vote for those who actually support it. Not judging those who want to clap, but I’m out.

It seems Laurence Fox has blocked me on Twitter. Which is weird because I’ve never had a single interaction with Laurence Fox on Twitter. On the plus side, this means I’ll never have a single interaction with Laurence Fox on Twitter.

Not expecting much agreement but here is an uncomfortable issue… the instinct for all of us is to say fuck you to the new rules and restrictions. Totally. But, they’re not *his* restrictions, they’re coming from scientists, to try and help the NHS protect us. It’s… difficult.

Ok I understand that if you have party loyalty it’s easy to dismiss certain things but... “Inequality is essential for the spirit of envy” SURELY finishes him off with every working class voter in the country? What more do we need? How much clearer could it be?
This is the utterly stunning video that Boris Johnson hoped and prayed you would never see.
Remember his words: “Inequality is essential.”
This should finish him. #GE2019 #SackJohnsonSaveBritain

Jesus Christ this is embarrassing. She is sharing a doctored photo of Starmer sitting next to Frank Dobson - who died pre pandemic in 2019. My god - The absolute shambles of it.
We are expected to believe that a curry and beers arrived for about 30 people at 10pm, and this was a break for a work meeting?
No reasonable person believes Labours story, so why do Durham police and what were they told?

There’s no “correct” way to face your own mortality, but for me, Chadwick Boseman remaining private while doing great work through surgery and chemo feels incredibly dignified. Talented actor who became - and should remain - of great socio-cultural significance. Gone too soon.

Americans here marvel at the NHS. They can’t believe that an ambulance/broken leg/kidney stone removal WON’T bankrupt a whole family. Yet some of us reply to the below with things like “it’ll only cost an extra £3 a month”. *sigh* You get the government you deserve I guess.
I try not to tweet political opinions, but as it’s my birthday allow me just one. The Tories do want to sell off the NHS. Not in one go, just bit by bit until it’s unrecognisable. You’ll turn up one day and there will be a priority waiting room. They’ve always been open about it.
