Seven hour wait in a London A&E achieves what? A blood test which three hours later staff admitted they had lost. We had to start again.

@HarrietHarman @maitlis She gave Hilary Clinton a soft pass on Monica and his exploitation of her and other women. A self important harridan of the bbc.

Impossible to overstate the importance of Jenni Murray to the movement of women that changed our politics, economy & our society; that changed our lives. She was the broadcasting wing of the women’s movement. We all owe her. RIP. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Neal Stephenson, an author I used to like has gone completely off the boil. Chris Brookmyre seems to have returned to his best form with The Cracked Mirror. Strange but true.

@eurofounder @Edwina_Currie Speaking as an engineer you and your cousin are idiots.
English
My cousin Dietrich is one of the best paid engineers in Germany
He makes €41,000 a year before tax
Last week he got an offer from a big tech company in the US that would net him $350,000
"Are you going to take it?" I asked him
"It's a good offer, but I would actually earn less than now"
He is right. In Europe, he makes €41,000 and gets:
- Free healthcare
- Strong privacy protections
- Diversity
- Pension benefits
If you count this in, it's much more than $350,000
European salaries are the highest in the world if you adjust for quality of life

@sharrond62 @GBullstein She is extremely thick, rather like a whale omelette.

Please make it make sense. It’s so depressing, whilst we cap wells & buy oil from countries taking it from the same oil reserves!
Claire Coutinho@ClaireCoutinho
Rachel Reeves praises Canada and Norway for increasing their oil and gas production… …whilst BANNING new production in Britain. Labour support foreign oil and gas industries more than our own.

@MerrynSW The Scots have a fine tradition of dragging defeat from the jaws of victory.

Scotland could be the big winner here. Introduce a low flat rate tax.. say 15%.. and we would be rich in no time.

@somersetlevel How many top priorities can you have? He has just enough brains to be dangerous but not enough to do anything useful.

BREAKING: @Conservatives would start fracking if they were in Government.
GB News@GBNEWS
‘We have domestic gas and oil on our doorstep, which is in crisis.’ Shadow Energy Secretary Claire Coutinho says the Conservative focus is on the North Sea over fracking, but that she has no ideological objection to it, but it shouldn’t be imposed on local communities.

Fun watching the families trooping into the pub for Mother’s Day lunch. Good sprinkling of sulky teenagers and grannies as well. Country life.
English
Why is it that the first reaction of people is to ask for govt support? No wonder we are up to our eyes in debt. I speak as someone who relies on oil for heating and hot water.

I'm a vicar in a small rural village. I could never say this to my flock because of the outcry, but Reform are blatantly opposed to genuine Christian values and it's clear that anyone considering voting for them has not been listening to a single word I say each week

@JamesMelville Oh dear, don’t start a war if you don’t like the consequences.

A massive dust storm is sweeping across Gaza, engulfing displacement camps where thousands of families now live after their houses have been obliterated.

@davidkurten @HHepplewhite I have a,ways liked a b-52 and I guess I always will.

RAF bases in England should not be used in any way for Netanyahu and Trump's war on Iran.

So any news on HMS Dragon, which has unwillingly become a global symbol of British military unpreparedness?
Is it still in port? Any word on when it might sail for Cyprus?
English
Holy moly. Boiler Juice price for Kerosene, that's unreal! 😳 That's more than diesel at the pump in some cases. That's blatant price gouging.

@OJS50 Thankyou , moving to Somerton I don’t think I could move off the Levels 😊

The packing boxes have turned up and house clearance chaps have taken away stuff we won't be needing in the new house. so I guess I'm going to busy for a while 😊
