This new commercial from Mothers Against Greg Abbott is one of the best political ads I’ve ever seen.

Thatcher’s three great lies. Margaret Thatcher told three great lies that shaped the future. A brief thread. 1/n

Tube on strike, I dawdled to Paddington on Friday. Passing the old wrought iron sign for Pizza Express, I was reminded of an event 30+ years ago, when I got caught up in a drama that resulted in a divorce, two marriages and many changed lives. It began with a heart attack 🧵

Hi everyone. I don’t really like sharing personal matters but this needs to be heard and more awareness needs to be raised. On Monday 15 August 2022, my mother passed away as a result of the Infected Blood Scandal. She was only 55.
