" @sewateruk spent more on dividends and interest than infrastructure" 6,000+ households had no running water for a week in June and a further 286,000+ had the same issue before Christmas 🚰 Families unable to drink water because of corporate greed. ft.com/content/26582a…

Fantastic piece celebrating the NHS!

If everyone who has been grateful for the NHS over the past 75 years followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight. Please take just two seconds to show you care.

@cbcreative @HeatherDarwent Ben lurches for the door. He's drunk, always drunk his father thinks. You disgust me he says. Ben swings at him and misses. He can barely stand. The air hums. Ben's mother cowers. Paul don't she says but he's already hit him. And it's so satisfying he hits him again. #WriteCBC

#WriteCBC tip from @HeatherDarwent: Anger can be a difficult emotion to evoke on the page, but it can be a powerful tool to avoid characters who feel too passive. In a novel, it's likely that there will be a few angry characters, or moments where rage is the driving force.

So @EveningStandard you made quite the attempt to feature women in your @UoWInternation1 edition. Until we got to sport. 4 pages of photos of men. Not great. Just saying #InternationalWomensDay #WomensDay #WomenInSport #wftv #womense

@ellamdoyle That barely seems possible....

Just slipped and fell on a banana skin on the tube, as if I were a cartoon. Oh the shame

A talented young journalist I know writing about tinned fish.

For all you North London foodies out there - this sounds great!

Water companies warn that cost of reducing sewage discharges will be passed onto the consumer during cost of living crisis. Instead, how about ALL dividends and bonuses are suspended until the costs are met, rather than us paying twice? thetimes.co.uk/article/water-…

@UKBipolarlife @MichaelRosenYes Thank you!

Dear Stoughton and Hodder As you're aware, progress on my great book about Shakespeare has been sluggish. I have been waylaid en croute to finishing other ventures: a global lecture tour, the war in Ukraine, and being the most famous PM since Enoch Powell. Grovello prostate Boris

@nosylocaljourno @lisabjourno Good tip. Once found pizzas still in boxes carefully slotted into bookcase... Weeks later needless to say.

@lisabjourno Check for any kind of food hidden behind pictures that will inevitably stink in a week's time. Ditto sick in plant pots
