My friend Georgia is doing stand-up comedy at the Rosemary Branch on 6 March. She makes me laugh just walking down the road ...

Buried on page 199 of the Department of Health and Social Care’s annual report published yesterday is the shocking disclosure that it has incurred £8.7bn of losses - £8.7bn ! - on £12.1bn of PPE bought in 2020/21. Think about how that money could have been…

It's a straightforward question. If given the power, will this Government send kids to #offshoredetention camps in distant countries? They refuse to answer, so we can only assume they would. Sign our letter to prevent such cruelty. tinyurl.com/nokidsoffshore #AntiRefugeeBill

I've signed the Detention Action letter to Boris Johnson and Priti Patel MP, telling them I won't accept them endangering refugees to save their reputations. Join me here & make our voices as loud as possible: detentionaction.e-activist.com/page/97590/don…

Look what we’ve got: rang GP at 8.00 am. Appointment same day 10.20. Blood test arranged for Thurs morn (could be sooner but went for convenience of nearby); X-Ray form done by GP during appointment. Can do x-Ray anytime. Walk-in at local hospital. Our NHS. Please RT.

I am sick of ministers like Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps using the small settled status scheme to suggest that Britain is the top refugee-taker in the world. It's deliberately and totally misleading. He did it again on BBC Radio 4 Today just now. It is more or less just a lie.

Everything that this disgusting Tory government and its incompetent departments represents, is in this thread. And this includes the shambolic, pernicious Home Office itself, headed by the corrupt and lying Patel, whose soulless and cowardly core is now on permaglare. Vile.

As if Johnson, fresh from Saudi Arabia and banging on about *freedom* hasn’t blown the WTAFometer - he then presses on to liken the war on Ukraine… …to f*cking Brexit. Where to even begin with this awful man’s twattery? #ToriesUnfitToGovern

Composed and sung by #ClaraSanabras, conducted by Harvey Brough and #RuthWhitehead, and the Mystic Trumpeter is @MikeMikelovatt and, oh yes, we’re doing Tubular Bells live as well. Happy 10th birthday to us!

Worrying.

Just done a ridiculous @lbc interview with @AndrewCastle63 on the Dover queues. He needed the story to be that all of this had to blamed on the French and had nothing to do with #brexit. It is this type of shameful, fact-averse clickbait shock-jocking that got into this mess.

Please watch this.

Is anyone keeping a list of Liz Truss's priorities? There seem to be so many.

Water companies ‘to increase bills by 40% to cover cost of sewage crisis’, confirming their position as absolute experts at taking the piss.
