Needed a laugh this morning. Got it when Levelling up Minister, Michael Gove said the reason the govt can't give pay rises to front line workers is because the govt has to be 'careful stewards of public money' - the man who ran the dodgy Covid PPE VIP Lane!

The tragic murder of a trans child, a Black schoolgirl being beaten, far-right groups targeting asylum seekers’ hotels. This is the result of Tories peddling hate and stoking fear aided by columnists everywhere. Now you’ll write columns wondering how it happened. #RIPBriannaGhey

Rest in peace, Brianna Ghey 🤍 Brianna deserved a chance to become a beautiful adult woman, and to live to see a world where trans people are safe and respected. Anyone in the media who is using her deadname and erasing Brianna’s identity should be ashamed of themselves.

The French are going on General Strike March 7th because retirement is going to 64. Their Energy bills are 40% of ours They retire 6 years earlier Their pension is 3x higher Their wages are 25% higher Yet still they will strike. Why are they better off? Because they strike

A powerful female politician resigns: she was unfulfilled because she never became a mother. A mother disappears: she was a hormonal (“hysterical”)alcoholic. A headteacher is murdered: she emasculated the husband who killed her. This is 2023. Misogyny is alive and well. x.com/emmavj/status/…

In the last couple of weeks I've learned from the police / media if I want to avoid going missing or being murdered I need to: Not be too ambitious or high-achieving. Not earn more than my partner (too late) Not go to a park. Not to drink alcohol. Not to go through menopause.

One, she’s a transphobe. Two, hundreds of contributors to your paper just called you out for your transphobia. Three, a young trans British girl was just brutally murdered and you go with defending Britain’s most prominent billionaire transphobe. Fuck this

The “cancel culture” and anti-“wokeism” moral panics rely on a complete inversion of the actual balance of power, portraying traditionally marginalized groups as mighty forces that urgently need to be reined in – and those in elite positions as desperately in need of protection.

Appallingly, there were over 450 hospital sewage leaks in the last 12 months. Urine & faeces flowing into hospital rooms. On cancer wards, maternity units, emergency depts. The govt is systematically underfunding the NHS into oblivion. It is scandalous. theguardian.com/society/2023/f…

The editor of The Times needs sacking for this headline next to that photograph 🙄

Hi, NHS psychiatrist here. The longer I work in psychiatry, the more & more I’m constantly reminded that one of the most harmful things for our mental health - if not the most harmful - is poverty.

Get a better paid job, get a second job, wear an extra jumper, eat for 30p, swim in shit, live with Covid, don't call an ambulance, live without fresh fruit and veg, stop buying lattes and Netflix, live with your parents, stop talking down Britain, stop ruining Brexit and shut up

🚨Culture Wars Latest: Censoring UK’s most trusted voice on nature is shocking dereliction of BBC’s duty to public service broadcasting. It CANNOT allow truth on nature depletion to be victim in cynical culture wars stoked by populist Ministers #WildIsles theguardian.com/media/2023/mar…

As a strong supporter of public service broadcasting, I want to be able to defend the BBC. But the decision to take Gary Lineker off air is indefensible. It is undermining free speech in the face of political pressure - & it does always seem to be rightwing pressure it caves to

The BBC led last night’s Ten O’Clock News with Lineker’s tweet. And now this. They’ve gone bonkers

Sorry BBC News (UK) BBC Breaking News Is thousands of people marching in London against the government NHS cuts and privitisation not news? Retweet if you thing the @bbc should comment! #SOSNHS #SOSNHSDEMO

A final thought: however difficult the last few days have been, it simply doesn’t compare to having to flee your home from persecution or war to seek refuge in a land far away. It’s heartwarming to have seen the empathy towards their plight from so many of you. 3/4

A retired GP in tears when he tells the interviewer why he’s there to add moral support: Back in 1962 he went to help at a bad car smash. The couple in the car were from the USA. The first thing the injured woman said was “how much will it cost?” Sunak wouldn’t ever need to ask.

Dear Gett you charged me £67 for a cab that had £29 on the meter from Euston to Gloucester Rd tube. I won’t be using your APP again and I hope everyone reading this knows what charges to expect - thanks for your reply- now deleting the APP - have a great day my friend
