Could you afford your treatment without the NHS? We must put a stop to the creeping privatisation of health services in the UK. Please repost if you agree.

A much loved ‘legend with the oval ball’ continued to inspire us during his end of life journey! RIP 🕯️🕊️🏈

@yfernandes29 😂 How are you doing, Yolanda?

So yesterday my husband, old romantic that he is, bought me flowers. Broccoli, cauliflower and a jar of artichokes.

@krishgm A sad loss of a kind creative activist wanting to make the world a better place! May he RIP 🕯️

RIP Benjamin Zephaniah

@krishgm @laurenmayoakley Keep that chest puffed out , shoulders pulled back …. and your new found ‘grrrrr attitude’! Lovely to see you surrender to whatever emerges and having fun ‘being’ & ‘doing’ 🙌🏽

We’re through to next week! Thanks for your votes and support. We are delighted to have entertained you and so happy to dance another day. Paso gone. My new dance training with @laurenmayoakley (still secret what it is - but it’s great) starts at 8am! #strictly #dancegurus

@Kinsellas @krishgm @NarcAware @laurenmayoakley Old dogs have wisdom & lived experience to show up and have fun 🤩!!

And now the realisation that everything learned last week is out of the window and I start again in the morning at zero with ⁦@laurenmayoakley⁩ with a totally different dance style! Hope having enjoyed our first dance so much it gets easier to teach an old dog new tricks.

@krishgm Your moves on Saturday certainly got me shaking a leg😂! ‘Special K in da room doing his ting’ 😉🫣👍🏽! .. was a joy to watch!

They’ve installed a glitter ball at #C4News to make me feel more “in the zone”. My bizarre life : learning the new #strictly dance this morning, a podcast with Greek economist Yanis Varoufakis this afternoon and then Gordon Brown on the programme tonight at 7

@mhdksafa @tanita_tikaram 🤬 to watch! Here is sending the lovely young girl positive self-worth vibes 💝💖💞💗💝💖💞💗 and 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗!

Welcome to Ireland where people get away with racism! This little black girl broke my heart. Don’t skip this post without leaving a million heart for her. Make her famous…

@krishgm @laurenmayoakley A 🎤 drop 🕺💃🏽 ‘Special K in da House performance! 😂 Best of all UR surrender to having joyful fun 🙌🏽!

Well #strictly was an absolute joy and thrill tonight. I have no idea why I didn’t want to do this sooner. It’s like a massive serotonin injection. Roll on next week. Here’s the dance with the lovely @laurenmayoakley if you want to watch the Cha cha to Apache Indian #DanceGurus youtu.be/PmINKjQmkE0?si…

Thank you @covcampus for the most memorable day! Certainly felt like a VIP, the care & kindness you showed me & my family today is deeply appreciated! Amazing to be back at the university & at the Cathedral. I hope to back soon!I’m still processing it all 🥹👩🏾‍🎓🙏🏽

@DrGailBusby @joan_myers Definitely B 👍🏽!!

Hi Twitter, Help! I'm considering a tweak in the branding of my podcast. Which do you prefer? A or B in replies please!

@jayblades_ Your thought of the day resonates & speaks directly to my SOUL aspirations! 💞You deserve the invite in recognition of your resilience & self belief to create & live a life of hope & optimism that is sprinkled with humility, compassion & kindness … and colourful style of course!

… “extending to people I don’t like” - an act of courage! Resonates with Valarie Kaur’s Compass of Love cited in her book See No Stranger. 💌

@yvonnecoghill1 Sending you a heartfelt bereavement hug at this sad time. May Derek R.I.P💔💜
