@andygkennedy @MillRoad4People I’m not really sure of the ‘point’ you’re trying to make here?

@ReallyJaneK @MillRoad4People Just saying "it's causing chaos" doesn't make it true. millroad4people.org/2024/09/20/bri…

Lovely to see so many new small businesses opening on Mill Road #MillRoadTransformed

@andygkennedy @MillRoad4People Yes it’s a huge knock on effect. I know it’s not closed-but it is to gen drivers and is causing chaos when coupled with other roadworks.

@ReallyJaneK @MillRoad4People There have been roadworks on Brooks Road and Coldhams Lane for weeks. That's almost certainly the major cause of the congestion you're seeing. And the bridge isn't closed, its open to pedestrians, cyclists, buses, taxis, and blue badge holders.

One of the best traditions in football as Real Betis fans throw toys on the field to be given to children during the festive period.🧸

@MulSclerosis Me, my sister, aunt and cousin

Do other family members have a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis?

This is pathetic. We can’t quit on our kids — they deserve better.

@BrainAblaze My daughter was put on lamotrigine which triggered myoclonic and tonic clonic seizures. Once she switched meds things improved.

Anti-seizure medications are the first line of defense for people with #epilepsy. -- Have you ever had a med that actually worsened your seizures? #EpilepsyAwareness

@KirstieMAllsopp @PrivateEyeNews My husband and his brother were given interrail tix at 15 &16 by their Dutch dad and told to meet rest of the fam at a campsite in S France ‘in 3 weeks’. Mid 80s, no mobile phones. Also I wonder how many 15 yo spent last weekend camping at Reading? 1000s I suspect!

Saddest I’ve been since my Dad died, he would have loved this so much, Thank you @PrivateEyeNews and Bless you. 🙏

@davesumnersmith @Keir_Starmer Yes

Do you welcome @Keir_Starmer's plans to agree to a reciprocal deal whereby European nationals under 30 can live & work in the UK for up to 3 years & British under-30s enjoy the same opportunities anywhere in the EU?

@MulSclerosis Yup had to explain to someone the other day why I had a medical card to access the disabled toilet. She tutted at me and made a stupid comment that it was unfair for me to jump the big Q. Put her straight pdq. 😡

@shiftms Resilience

Other then all the bad things what is one thing that MS has given you that you didn't have before.. For me it is Sitting Still. Before MS I lived my life at 100miles an hour.. never sitting still, always doing something now I can just live in the moment

I keep reading criticism of the NHS. The NHS saved my life. At 6:15 am on March 1st this year I was taken by ambulance to @StGeorgesTrust , which thankfully is a cardiology training hospital, after having a heart attack. The previous week I had been running, training and doing pull ups in the gym. I had no symptoms whatsoever. My diet was really good. I was apparently just genetically unlucky according to the cardiology professor. On arrival at the hospital, I was immediately operated on and the blockage in my arteries was removed while I was fully conscious and talking to the doctors. I had two more operations after that. Within weeks of that I was touring the U.K., scoring films again and in June we played Glastonbury to a live audience of thousands televised to millions by the BBC. This year, as a @TheBookerPrizes judge and composer, I’ve read 158 books, scored numerous film and tv projects and I’ll be performing my own new composition about my heart attack and playing my album back catalogue with @the_halle orchestra at @BridgewaterHall on December 5th. None of that would have been possible without the incredible NHS. If you feel the NHS has not delivered for you, blame the absurd government we had for 14 years who treated NHS staff like slaves, while handing £billions of our money to their friends. They ran down the NHS so they could sell it off for an American-style system. Hard working people in America have to sell their houses to pay for the kind of life-saving help I was given for free (notwithstanding my lifelong NI contributions). When I applauded the NHS staff during lockdown, I was applauding the dedication of people who put our lives first. I’ve now seen them do that with my own life firsthand. I am so thankful to live in a country that many idiots try to label as “woke” or other pejorative subversions of compassion. When your health experiences a glitch, as it inevitably will one day, it’s the NHS who will put it back on course. Pay the doctors, pay the nurses, pay the staff. They work insane hours and bloody hard. Nothing any of us does is as valuable.

@susiesbookrevs Those coat hooks that go over the top of doors. Couple of Tupperware pots for leftovers

Do you have epilepsy and live in Oxfordshire/Berkshire? ITV Meridian are filming a piece about a new form of brain surgery. They would like to interview someone tomorrow/Wednesday about living with epilepsy. Please DM or email press.office@epilepsysociety.org.uk if interested.

@adamfare1996 Absolutely agree!

We know the England team losing the #EURO2024 is the worst outcome for some, for others however it's the reality of waiting for their partner to come home. Football doesn't cause #DomesticAbuse, abusers do. Share our helpline so women know they are not alone 👇🏼👇🏿

@GavinGiovannoni I asked for sativex but, no surprise,consultant said no. So my sister @GrumpyoldGould -featured in this piece-recommended medical cannabis. Game changing. No more Baclofen or amitriptyline. No more pain or spasms at night. I finally get a good sleep. So why do I have to pay?

@bushontheradio We didn’t-my mum’s rule was if you’re off sick you’re not watching tv

Our 5 y/o is off school poorly and is sat watching Netflix on the couch. Genuine question what the hell did we used to watch on telly when we were off in the 70s/80s?

@RoryStewartUK @RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @AngelaRayner It was one of my favourites

I think the most compelling @RestIsPolitics Leading interviews @campbellclaret + I have done is with Deputy PM @AngelaRayner - particularly from 8:35 - she is so frank, self-reflective, and brutally insightful about life + its lessons - an extraordinary person podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/lea…
