For #WorldMentalHealthDay I joined #BrentfordFC in launching
a new initiative to remind people at their lonliest they have someone to talk to. My own cousin, Stephen, died by suicide some years ago, and I've always thought how important it is to know there are people to listen.

Taxpayer's £££ is being funneled into opaque schemes in which private companies are setting massive profits from £500m+ of taxpayer money investments.
The Labour/ Tory duopoly is ripping us off. That's why there's austerity!

That is very true, between us we have all the receipts

Exactly!

For some politicians it’s almost impossible to keep up with their flip flop changes of ideology.

Thanks for the reminder, it’s an awful thing to have said.

They just pushed the qualifying date again by a year, and believe more are in the works.
It’s almost Waspi all over again. For some it’s being told two years away now an extra year added.

Gaza has an area of 141 square miles and a population of ~2M

Bradford, the fourth most populous district in the UK, also has an area of 141 square miles. It has a population of ~520K.

I just thought I would mention it.

I’d forgotten that “gem” 😱

Very good, both price and album

"Right now, 69 NHS trusts are locked into paying more than £21 billion to private companies over the next 20 years through Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contracts. Yes, you read that correctly - Let that sink in for a moment."

I wouldn’t put it past Westminster to call a GE before May next year just to scupper Scottish Independence.
Reform will shut us down asap.

What’s happening in US is exactly what will happen here if Reform win next GE.
And Scotland will be lost forever.

Of course it’s important to report on this. It’s a foreign country interfering in UK.
Ironic that the party that wants to oust foreigners is more than happy to take funds from Russia and the likes of Elon Musk.
I guess if you’re a fascist your nationality doesn’t present a problem 🤷‍♀️

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

I disagree.

RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!
