Still tired and nervous - our government is constantly gaslighting us. Covid killed people I know and is still responsible for the decline in health for many. Doing what I can to make it better.

@marcrileydj is waxing lyrical about #Cardiacs and I’m thrilled to bits! 1st saw them in Surbiton supported by #thetrudy - was at college with Lorna Diamond. Met certain blue bearded chap and admired his Cardiacs tee shirt.. yup. Drummer Bob!

Please be aware that the town carparks are really busy so you probably need to allow extra time for parking if you are coming to see Santa today

Again a child is murdered by those who should protect her. Again local authorities fail #SaraSharif known to them since birth.

The cost of renting in the UK has risen faster than wages and has been exploited by private landlords. Housing is a human right. The government must introduce rent caps and undertake the biggest council house building programme in a generation now. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Agencies are heartless as are local authorities

14% rise in homelessness in England. 354,000 people homeless, includes 161,500 children - equivalent to city the size of Coventry. Result of austerity, real wage/benefit cuts, unchecked profiteering. Govts make slogans do little to end inequities. theguardian.com/society/2024/d…

Inheritance tax is trending. In 2016, Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, avoided more than £3Billion in inheritance tax when his father died, through the use of trust funds and shell companies. A reminder that tax is, and continues to be, only for poor people.

Bloody well done to @MrAndyParsons who was incredible at @farnhammaltings this evening… I hope you make the most of your newish material.

Please take your days off, these jobs don't care about you.

NEWS From today, 31% of the year left & 31% of your water bill pays ONLY for debts and dividends. So all money from now until New Year goes to that!!! When privatised there was no debt Welcome to "free market economy" Tufton St, catastrophic UK😡 Follow ⁦@We_OwnIt⁩

Benefit fraud, which is tiny, is said to be a scourge which must be crushed. But straight corruption involving public bodies, politicians and their cronies is just fine.

Your Mum waits 40hours for an ambulance so BP don’t have to pay tax. Your kids can’t afford University so Amazon don’t have to pay tax. Your sister can’t get housing so Google don’t have to pay tax. Your Gran’s lost her Winter Fuel Payment so Vodaphone don’t have to pay tax.

I’m not inclined to leave twitter - because if all the people who post nice stuff leave - then we are allowing the cess pit people take over - let’s fill this thing with art and books and birds and flowers and jokes etc - let’s swamp it with good stuff - reclaim it

Very powerful!

@AveryHealthcare Saturday 20th July join #MoorlandsLodge in Hindhead on the Surrey Hants West Sussex border for their Summer Fete from 11am to 3pm, #AveryCollection #Grayshott near #Haslemere

I don't think any health secretary had as much of a negative impact on morale as Jeremy Hunt - even more than Hancock. So many of my talented colleagues left the country because of his actions. It beggars belief that the constituents of Godalming and Ash voted him as their MP again. It's a slap in the face for NHS staff and I just wish the @GodAshLabour and Green Party could have successfully tipped the Lib Dem candidate over the line. theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

Thames Water cannot be held accountable by the public You can't make them go on the BBC You can't switch company if you're a customer You can't unelect them You can't say no to boss's bonus (£195k) or planned bill rises (59%) But the government can and should NATIONALISE them
