Favourite New Albums of 2024 3. The Libertines - All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade For me, their most consistently good album. Seeing them live, it was great to see so many songs from this record were huge crowd pleasers. At the top of their game! Favourite song: Shiver

As a #Pharmacist I worked on the frontline during covid while the last Government gave away taxpayers money via VIP fast lanes. It is great to see Rachel Reeves appointment of Tom Hayhoe, Covid Corruption Commissioner We must recover every penny lost in dodgy deals during the pandemic.

1. I’m pretty sceptical about representative democracy: broadly speaking, I think it’s a contradiction in terms. But if we are to have such a thing, it should look like the assistant dying bill debate in Parliament yesterday. That debate showed us what we are missing all the rest of the time. 🧵

Today I voted in favour of the Terminal Illness (assisted dying) bill. As a pharmacist I have seen many patients near the end of their life and believe it is important they have the same dignity and choice in dying, as in life. Article 👇 www.northsomersettimes.co.uk/news/2473204...
