@bridportshakesp They are usually available in Card Factory for a limited time.

@Gildy55 ''New Year cards'??

You know...it is so tempting to pop down the supermarket tonight(for fresh air)I said. If not lets do it Sunday. Monday makes more sense. The post office is still open for mailing New Year cards and the ESA form. Party food may be on sale for my New Year's Eve buffet.

Two failed leaders of the Tory party IDS and Hague are given knighthood and a Peerage. But as they always do. They stabbed Thatcher in the back when it suited them. Of course they made her a Baroness.

my son’s girlfriend got a call that her sister (who was banished from family for being gay) committed suicide last night. Any parents who banish their kids for that...I can’t even..I’m so upset. I offered to drive her home (50 miles away), but she drove herself. So sad.

Chumocracy crony knighthood gifted to "Sir" Iain Duncan Smith is, I wonder, People's Premier Johnson rewarding Tory people who gave him the Con leadership and No 10 keys. Doesn't care about people clobbered by UC, bedroom tax, freezes, 2-kid cap, cuts... mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

@lightacandleOTM @AndyBurnhamGM @philewis Any Labour MP that thought like Blair and continued to behave that way during the last ten years of Cameron, May and now Johnson offering support could possibly be seen as helping the Tories in their plan.

Government runs the trains mate, not me.

Another LBC and political commentator said give up complaining that IDS has been awarded a knighthood. We should congratulate and be gracious...can you see the irony? Equally Pierce I suspect is probably happy with the award given to IDS regardless of the harm he has caused many.

The honours system is an antiquated relic based in inequality and deference but knighting IDS is a particular low. If you’ve been hurt by his policies, know this: you matter. He deserves no honour. You are worth a hundred of him and all his ilk put together.

On this day in 1997 a courageous lady with end stage Multiple Sclerosis lay in the bed her husband died in 16 yrs earlier, she watched him die. They removed her care put in a morphine syringe driver & said it was kindest to let her go. It took a wk. She was 51. She was my Mum 💔

Not reporting France's unrest much to the UK...is this a vain attempt to avoid giving ideas to our own population? Its OK to mention unrest in South America. India. Hong Kong. But France is a bit to close to home?

People lost benefits due to DWP changes under @MPIainDS. Ex soldiers, disabled, blind, chronically ill, dying after help cut. I saw reports that resulted in cuts. But #ianduncansmith gets a knighthood. Is this your idea of “one nation” & “healing” @BorisJohnson? It’s disgusting.

Hello. You said our leader was “unelectable” & then coordinated one of the most successful character assassinations of all time. Ok: we’ll elect another of our choosing. But we’re staying left and we’re staying socialist. And we know how you roll now. We’re ready for you.

Hmm... men, eh? #JustSaying

Considering that she voted against Brexit as did Johnson, the irony is how BJ put his wanting to be PM over everything else. How they managed to turn the ire towards Corbyn. With much help from the media and press. Even when he was offering another deal/vote to the public.
