The Government announced this week they will spend billions on nuclear weapons we should never use.
They can afford to give NHS and local government workers a decent pay rise - it is a question of political priorities that they choose not to do so.

It’s horribly telling that, so often, as soon as a woman realises you’re gay you can sense a reduction in hyper-vigilance. The threat level has fallen. I often find myself making my gayness very clear ASAP for this reason.
I don’t know if straight men realise the extent of this.
“I wish Caroline Flack spoke up, I wish Robin Williams reached out. I wish all the people who struggled just asked for help.”

After taking the oath of office this afternoon, I got right to work taking action to:
- Control the pandemic
- Provide economic relief
- Tackle climate change
- Advance racial equity
If 1,820 people died in any other circumstances, there would be an outpouring of national grief, probably a day of mourning.
Every day the new number hits me with fresh, sharp tragedy and it's breaking me into pieces to be honest.
