I’m European. Apparently my life is bad. In reality, I have: Vaccines. Clean tap water. Public transport. Enforceable rights. Food safety as a baseline. Healthcare that doesn’t lead to bankruptcy. And I don’t need to carry a concealed weapon to walk my dogs.

The House of Lords gives peers £342 a day just for clocking on. A 10-hour shift as a resident doctor pays just £175.

Imane Khelif was assigned female at birth. She’s spoken about being initially banned from boxing by her dad who said it wasn’t for girls. The attacks on her show that transphobia doesn’t only hurt trans people, but also other women who don’t fit conventional ideas of femininity.

In 24 hours the new government has: - Called for an immediate ceasefire & a 2-state solution - Scrapped the Rwanda scheme - Stated they will start negotiations to end the doctors’ strikes next week If the proof of the pudding is in the eating, the first nibble’s been tasty.

Tommy Robinson must be delighted to see how effectively Canadians deal with illegal immigrants.

Natalie Elphicke tried defecting to me first but I said no. I’m taking the trash out, not in. #PMQs

If someone had said a Tory should be shot make no doubt about it the police would have been smashing the door down of that person and arresting them in a matter of minutes .

Very much wishing that 2024 brings ceasefires and peace around the world, and that innocent children caught in these dreadful conflicts have some kind of hope.

On the 6th October 2023 I shared a link on X to a Mail Online article entitled ‘Militant union leader at the heart of doctors strikes is a Labour activist who boasted of charging the NHS for a strike cover shift. I accept that my words were misleading as the subject in question Dr Tom Dolphin was not on strike on the date of the shift in question but was simply covering a shift as a consultant for junior doctors who were on strike on 11th August 2023. I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to Dr Dolphin for any distress upset caused. I will also like to add that I understand that Dr Dolphin actually donated his pay for the covered shift which I believe was £1870 to the BMA strike fund and whilst I do not agree with the strikes I want to go on the record to say that I think it is a very unselfish act on the part of Dr Dolphin to put his money into something he strongly believes in. I will make the same contribution to compensate the upset I may have caused Dr Dolphin. Please Repost.

I guess the main reason journalists don't doorstep Rishi Sunak is that it's difficult to know which of his many homes he'll be staying in at any one time

A reminder that corporate profiteering is the single biggest cause of rising inflation across Europe, according to the IMF. Instead of telling workers to pay the price, how about taxing the profiteers?

I want to see Labour attack the 45% pay rise for King Charles. Either you're consistent about iron-clad fiscal discipline or you're not.

"We’re proposing to shut that route so employers look at recruiting local young people" Miriam Cates, MP in the New Conservatives group which wants stricter measures to curb immigration, says ending temporary visa schemes would encourage Brits to fill care sector jobs. #R4Today

Therese Coffey has explained that water companies can only dump sewage in our waterways in 'exceptional situations'. Like whenever they want to give money to shareholders instead of paying to treat the sewage.
