3 years ago today, I tested positive for an infection that has changed my life. I’m 36 and have been disabled for 3 years. I will have to take medication for the rest of my life. I have had pain every day for 3 years. I have learnt to parent with deafness, blurred vision, 1/3
Good news about #HorizonEU . Now let's move on to Euratom. Slowly rebuilding .....

"We tried to stop the small boat crossings without changing our laws.
But an activist blob of left-wing lawyers, civil servants and the Labour Party blocked us."
"Blob"?
Who are these people who've taken over the party I once loved? Shocking.
Sometimes it feels like broken Britain with inflation and strikes and flu etc ...so I'd like to be positive and send a big thankyou to @DVLAgovuk I've had to deal with them a lot in the last few weeks and they've been fast and efficient. The staff are friendly and polite. 10/10

Just before morning prayers, the security guards woke him in his cell and told him to get ready “we want to hang you”. Islamic Republic executed him for the crime of peacefully protesting and demanding freedom.
Mehdi Karami was only 22 years old. His parents were street peddlers.

Some Brexiters have got in touch to tell me I’m making stuff up when I say that Vote Leave campaigned on the idea that Brexit would mean shorter wait times for medical treatment. So, here is the evidence:
2012 to 2022 cumulative pay increases
MPs 28%
Nurses 12%
Both are covered by HMG appointed "independent " pay review panels ..so why the difference? Can someone please ask @OliverDowden ? He says that nurses should think again about strikes.
Very distasteful🤮
If you've ever wondered what proportion of the population really benefits from a Tory government you now have the answer. It's 23%..the 23% who are inexplicably still saying that they would vote Conservative tomorrow.
Why is the news overwhelmed by details of an election in which only 0.002% of the population have a vote? Yes, I know the winner will be our PM but I am powerless to influence the outcome. Why isn't the media dominated by calls for constitutional reform? #DemocracyMatters

Dear @BorisJohnson,
I hear Rwanda is a lovely place to spend your retirement.

The Johnson Tories rap sheet is even more impressive than you thought.
sexual assaults, financial corruption, bribery/lobbying, illegal parties, (plus tractor porn).
You have to wonder if these hardened criminals can be rehabilitated at all…

Yesterday was a good day to bury bad news. The HS2 £3 billion link to the west coast main line has been scrapped. Anyone who believes Johnson's levelling-up agenda needs their bumps read.
Has anyone put together a list of Tory MPs who have not declared how they voted..hiding behind the secret ballot?

It's not the partying; it's the lying.
It's the degradation of public standards.
It's the corrosion of trust.
It's time to clean up politics, modernise our democracy and fight corruption.
It's time for something new.

The Johnson Gov has been very clear that they will NOT go to war in Ukraine. Every day we see people dying but Gov doesn't budge. So why are Tory MPs claiming that they can't call for Johnson's resignation because there's a war on?

Unless people wake up to the number of politically homeless, and help us win, low turn out at GE could lead to a Tory elective dictatorship

It is not a surprise that people are surprised that Nazanin Zaghari Radcliffe is not more grateful. She is a woman. She is not white. She is an immigrant. She is expected to be grateful. She is expected to show gratitude for every inch of space she is given. I admire her hugely.
