Really upset & uncomfortable with Starmer talking about loners & misfits. I've become lonely & socially excluded due to a socially stigmatising metabolic condition. It's a disability. Some cruel people called me weird. It's never made me want to harm anyone.

Poor Pepper is so sweet and loving but he looks a little rough around the edges so he hasn't had much adoption interest. He's been through so much and deserves a lovely home! Please pass this on to anyone you know in VT who might be interested. ❤️ www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

Watch out Europe Mark Zuckerberg cited Europe as a place with “an ever-increasing number of laws institutionalising censorship and making it difficult to build anything innovative” and said: “Latin American countries have secret courts that can order companies to quietly take things down.” Thread

Just got the result of my 4th post-cancer mammogram. Four years in the clear. Hooray! Thank you to the terrific NHS staff, who got me the result before New Year; and to anyone out there due for a mammogram, don't put yours off. Mine saved my life...

Parmesan Shortbreads are #RecipeOfTheDay, and if you want something to hand round with drinks on NYE, look no further! Their mild, savoury butteriness goes so well with crisp bubbles www.nigella.com/recipes/parm...

Word of the day is a favourite for this time of year. To be ‘crambazzled’, in old Yorkshire dialect, is to be prematurely aged by excess drinking or partying.

In the supermarket queue waiting for the tills to open at 10 and a guy looking frustrated and confused that he can't go straight to the tills. Staff explained it was Sunday trading laws. How can there be people here that still don't know that, given its been in place since 1996. 🛒🙄🫤 #SundayTrading

On the one hand....why would you vote Tory after the past 14 years? On the other hand...why would you vote Labour at all? Look at that fucking turnout.

Why is Labour even saying it’s a choice between the environment or housing? It’s not a binary decision. There are huge numbers of brownfield sites, many areas even in greenbelts that don’t disrupt the environment or destroy rare species.

Why are councils allowing trees to be butchered! (Officially known as Pollarding) All the birds that I used to enjoy seeing in my road have gone now because of this. Totally unnecessary. None of these trees were a hazard in any way. Cutting is too severe 😡 🌳 #Nature #Birds

Keir Starmer does not have one single moral bone in his body, he is a cowardly beggar in total capitulation to the obscene corporate power of blood money. In 2022, Starmer accused Boris Johnson of “going cap in hand from dictator to dictator” 1/2 theguardian.com/politics/202...

Etymology of the day is ‘jargon’, from the Old French ‘jargoun’, meaning the ‘chattering of birds’.

If you're sick of a tiny section of voters deciding every government and you want democratic reform, you won't get it from Starmer. He ignored his own party when they voted for it. And he's just ignored Parliament. You need to vote Green. Better yet join.greenparty.org.uk

The reason Keir Starmer opposes proportional representation is because he knows 80% of the electorate did not vote Labour.

"The main thing TfL has done with its new names is to highlight the contribution to London’s life made by people who are not the Queen of England. Anyone who sees this as virtue signalling may, in fact, be signalling rather more about themselves."
