Trying to be more #BillieEilish and ask the big hard questions: would any #MPs or #HouseofLords members like to explain why they feel it's OK to expense the public for their booze and biscuits and charitable donations when we already pay them at least 3x national average income? #BeMoreBillie

The #HouseOfLords blocked a bill to improve employment terms and conditions.
Why did we hold a #GeneralElection, if the party and policies we chose can be overturned by unelected stooges for opposition (‘losing’) parties?

Expanding the role of pharmacy technicians is probably appropriate. But why _before_ a consultation on extending their education, and are commercial pressures being adequately considered?
