I love this! Thoughts @Tony_LarkOwl?

Listening to the The Archers omnibus. Fundraisers everywhere LOVING Lynda's energy around securing a celeb guest to open the summer fair. 'Do you have a personal connection with Countryfile that you can exploit??? We can't just draw up a magic wish list." YES LYNDA 🙌

Various media outlets are turning on the Captain Tom foundation now, and it’s clearly awful to see what’s gone on. But the whole situation was ludicrous. A very brave, honourable man did something good, but the money was given to ‘NHS charities’. The NHS isn’t a charity…

…the media heralded this whole situation as heroic. It was ludicrous. At the same time this money went to ‘NHS charities’, the staff were unsupported, the government were handing out lucrative deals to their mates, and over 1500 health and social care workers died because…

…they were insufficiently protected. There are a lot of honourable people who want to help the NHS, but it’s a public service. It doesn’t need volunteers. It doesn’t need charities. It needs to be kept in public hands, funded properly, scrutinised and run well for patients.

Grateful thanks for Private Eye Magazine for painting an image of a situation which I now can't unsee. Nearly choked on my coffee... #Carriegate

The coconut milk is double the price in the white people aisle 🤣

Dear World, You may be wondering what happens next in terms of the British constitution. The answer is that 3 newspaper owners - all of whom are non domiciled in the UK for tax purposes - get together and choose our next Prime Minister or “Poodle”. The Queen then anoints them.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What are people's honest view of development boards? I've written an article about it for today's Nest Egg. But I grappled with it, wondering if they're a geniunely useful tool for connection, or an outdated practice which perpetuate inequality in philanthropy.... #sendcoffee

Anything Leesa does is worth reading in my opinion. Can't wait to get stuck into this!

Thank you for this thread which makes me feel SEEN It's very timely as I'm considering whether or not to stay on LinkedIn... 😂

Amazing tip from Charly White 'Go through your funding proposals and scrutinise every word. Does it need to be there?' Am currently trying to get a proposal from 10 pages to 4 - this is helping! Thanks Charly!

Well this is a tease...
