#MyMaskMyVote Not allowed to vote once inside, despite bringing ID & video of me putting on mask, as no options for reasonable adjustments for those who are #immunosuppressed. Recorded as turned away with reason: no guidance for those with Disability.

In previous years, CPL has given Easter eggs to employees, but we reckoned that everyone probably receives enough chocolatey-goodness. So this year we made a change – we’re making a donation to local charity @AbbeyPeople instead: abbeypeople.org.uk/

These looked wonderful and sparked so many smiles. Thankyou dear @AbbeyPeople @HilCoxCondron for your shared vision and energy for community and connectedness

“It's okay for somebody who's a Marxist to bring what they've learned from Das Kapital into the room, but not to take what you believe from the Bible. That's nonsense, isn't it?”
@TimFarron tells #TimesRadio that being religious can be a bar to serving in high public office.

I intend to strike on Wednesday. I love my job and I want to look after my patients. The moral dilemma over whether to strike is pretty overwhelming, I have spent the last 3 days off anxious about the implication of striking and about going to work in terrible conditions 1/4

None of us want any harm to come to our patients, but it already is. We need better pay to have better and safe staffing levels, better staff retention and to be able to provide an actual emergency service.Also nurses need this so much & they are incredible & at breaking point4/4

Investor Guy Hands on the Today programme: "Without renegotiating Brexit "the economy is frankly doomed <which means> steadily increasing taxes, steadily reducing benefits and social services, higher interest rates and eventually the need for a bailout from the IMF"

Independent food banks have been struggling to cope for months (@IFAN_UK) Now even @TrussellTrust food banks with corparate backing and a huge income are calling for funds. But the real solution is not to keep food banks going but to ensure a reduction in demand for their help.
Food banks are facing their most challenging winter yet.
They're seeing more people facing hunger, while warehouse utility bills, fuel for vans and other costs are increasing.
We urgently need your help to keep our food banks going this winter 👉 bit.ly/3VD37Ps

#GeneralElectionNOW – at Newsham, England
Please everyone. Let's blow up Twitter and show the country's displeasure at the continuing farce that is our government and the self serving MP's propping them up. Enough is enough! We are sick of being the laughing stock of the world. #GeneralElectionNOW
Nicky Shepard retweeted
Some of the f*ckers are going to try and reinstall Johnson. This is madness and it can't go on. I'm up for joining mass demonstrations and even serious civil disobedience in the demand for the only sane course of action now - a general election.
Nicky Shepard retweeted
After the damage that Johnson and Truss have inflicted on our country, the very last thing we need is *yet* another Conservative PM. We need a #GeneralElectionNow and a change of government.

A pensioner breaking down because she can’t pay her bills;
a full-time working mum scared she’ll lose her home;
an 8 week-old baby living in a flat with no heating or hot water.
This is the reality outside Westminster. The first of our special reports🧵itv.com/news/2022-10-18/toas…

UK still needs a proper plan to protect people and businesses from #energybills @LibDems support #windfalltax - not borrowing on the 'national credit card'
Liberal Democrats have a fair plan to protect people and businesses from sky-high energy bills this winter.
We can’t leave our children to pick up the tab through even more borrowing while letting oil and gas companies off the hook.

Why doesn’t trickle down economics work in a time of uncertainty? Because the wealthy when getting tax cuts in that situation save all they get, and spend nothing more, which means nothing trickles down and society just gets ever more divided. That’s why.
