@DebsThompson2 Abergavenny! Heading back soon and about to hit the strike! Wish us luck 🤞

@MaddyCThompson Where are you off to

No seats or standing space except in first class where there are 20+ empty seats. But we have to sit on the floor unless we want to upgrade 😭

A thread for the ultra-wealthy. If you are wealthy, you may think that if the U.K. switches from an NHS-model to a private model of healthcare it will either a) be better for you, or b) will not affect you. Here is why you are wrong… 🧵

@ThunderbirdWPC @JDonOfficial @louiselib Could I still have the sausage rolls??? 🤩
