Could she have let me know slightly earlier, as have done 2 of 4 trains today already and nearly lost my case… staying in bed would have been better!

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

Really great blog by a radiologist who writes in a surgical journal. Nicely sums up why we’re so exhausted

Welcome back to Dr Paul McCoubrie’s a 'view from the dark side' — a series looking at the world of surgery through the lens of a radiologist. _______________________ “I’m absolutely bloody exhausted”

I think you’ve answered your own question. The lack of press pushback and forensic challenge is disheartening and clearly intentional

Never let anyone tell you that small acts of resistance don’t matter.

This is a remarkable story of 2 Irish women who stood up against injustice & stood tall. Their courage & defiance, for strangers they would never meet, is a reminder that even the smallest light can burn through the darkest times

When it’s the only seat in the carriage, and the alternative is a 2 hour stand, she was politely offered the alternative of standing and letting the bag have her seat. Miraculously her case then fit in the luggage rack

Not just blokes. Some entitled princess thought her large bags deserved a seat more than all the people standing. She didn’t want to put it in the rack. Had to explain that this was a ‘her’ problem and shouldn’t be a ‘me’ problem.

Thomas doesn’t care who you are, what you look like or what you believe in. Thomas just wants you to be calm, kind, provide a warm lap (without moving for several hours) and a ready supply of Dreamies. The world would be a better place if everyone was more like Thomas 🫶 #LoveNotHate

I sort of feel like we don’t talk enough about the two pre-election National Insurance cuts that were brought in by Hunt and Sunak last year, and how they feel like they were absolutely meant to hobble what they knew at the time would be an incoming Labour government.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

Jane Goodall reaches out and touches a small monkey.

We all need to be more like Jane and encourage ’good trouble’. Sad news.

According to PM on Radio 4, Mone said this is "the Establishment" attacking her. We cannot have her making our laws. While we wait for my petition to go live, here's the one started by Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK 👇 The more pressure, the better.
Thank you.

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.

Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.

What, Michelle? 🧵
