We can all pretend Trump and Vance are some sort of inspired geniuses. Or we can see two soft bullies haranguing a man who has been fighting a war to save his country for three years.

By the way, no way am I leaving Twitter. This place is like a lovely pub, that got taken over by some soulless pub company and with a full on wazzock as a new landlord. But I was here first and I’m staying.

For f***s sake. The lack of mass shootings in the UK isn't because we don't have depressed, angry, psychotic men. It's purely because WE DON'T GIVE THEM GUNS. "There have been 606 mass shootings this year, and 36 mass murders. Last year there were 611 mass shootings."

Haters will say we’re being paid off by ‘bIg FoOd’ (yawn) but here’s the truth: so-called UPFs unfairly get a bad rap and in reality companies have done loads to improve the nutrition of these products in recent years. Even Turkey Twizzlers, it seems. google.co.uk/amp/s/www.daily…

If anything at all positive can come out of this pandemic it is that perhaps we will view life differently; stopping obsessing over carbs, diets, toxins and how many miles we ran this week. Maybe, just maybe, we’ll enjoy the richness of life as it is. Maybe. #COVID19

Policies that discourage consumption of ultra-processed foods should be sensitive to the time, skill, expense, and effort required to prepare meals from minimally processed foods—resources often in short supply for those who are not members of the upper socioeconomic classes.
BBC News ‘Ultra-processed foods have hijacked our appetites and we need to shift back to real food’ Let’s once again also bust the myth of physical inactivity and #obesity. You can’t out cycle a bad diet prime minister! m.youtube.com/watch?v=55CrH0…

Well done. That’s £8.3bn debt for the #ForgottenLtd. More sleepless nights, mental health problems and a mountain to climb as we try and rebuild business in an uncertain climate, when the rest of the workforce has been given money to redecorate homes, make bread & do Zoom quizzes
