If you’re still on the fence about voting in this election, think about what really matters – about the values we were taught, the kind of country we want to be, and how this is a moment when your vote really does count.  Your vote could determine the fate of our republic – the world that our children and grandchildren will inherit. It’s an awesome responsibility. But what an extraordinary privilege it is to live in a democracy that gives each of us the opportunity to make our voices heard.

Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS. I think this is a national scandal. Please RT if you do too 🙏

@MichaelRosenYes I took my husband’s name so became Annie Anning, I am regularly laughed at but after 13 years of marriage I’ve grown to love my name

Does your given name begin with the same letter/sound as your family name? As with, say, Jack Jones? Does it annoy you that your parents did that? Or if you've taken your partner's/spouse's name and become alliterated, as it were, eg you were Mary Jones and now you're Mary Madely

Civil society, not civil war. Do please repost, #Elon

i think what we've discovered tonight is that Farage has been lying. britain doesn't actually agree with him. he doesn't 'have a point'. could we stop putting him on the tv now? since he basically only represents a fringe that have fallen for his lies.

No, Gary from Blackpool with 1 GCSE, two brain cells and three teeth, Dr Ahmed the surgeon did not steal your job.

Never thought the country I love so much and have been proud to name as my home would be on the "Places not safe to travel to" list......#notgoals

Bigots who’ve built entire careers inciting precisely the evil we’re witnessing did not ‘warn’ of it. The only honest ‘warnings’ came from people who explained what would happen if we kept giving racist liars newspaper columns, TV & radio slots & season tickets for Question Time.

Please say “died” and not “passed away”, @BBCRadio4, @Channel4News, unless you plan to introduce other euphemisms, like “spent a penny” or “came over funny”.

1. I work as a consultant cardiologist in a large tertiary centre providing care over 1 million people. ➡️ There are 30 of us, and 70% of Cardiologists in my unit including myself are either immigrants themselves or the sons and daughters of immigrants ➡️ many of my colleagues are Muslims who provide care to you and your families ➡️ whilst a minority are out rioting, flashing Nazi signs beating up people of colour many of whom look after their families- including their elderly relatives- the majority of the good people of UK are sickened by these individuals who do not represent us as a country.

Spare me the big boohoo about the cost of immigration when you're out there on the streets burning down libraries and police stations and flooding the courts and costing the tax payers more money than any immigrant you've ever met.

This!

You know, I want my country back too Back from the far right, the racists, the politicians who prey on ignorance and xenophobia, back from the EDL, Farage, Reform The Daily Mail, The Sun and every God forsaken crappy organisation that spreads divisive hate
