@MADSummits Thanks for space to share what can make all the difference. The comment in the title ('a social skill etc') comes from a course participant. Many have expressed they wished they had had these skills earlier in life. We all need to be heard x

The problem is that their reporters, editors and owner find it hard to accept that most of us are flawed, and can’t live up to the high moral values, devotion to the absolute truth and extreme chastity represented by The Sun.
Glastonbury has donated 10 sets of tickets with unique experiences in support of the DEC Turkey-Syria Earthquake appeal. Enter now to win. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/win-glas… They are on course to raising £1m... amazing x

Charging the sick for being sick.
Mark my words: this will be end of the NHS if the Tories have their way.

Just a quick thing - patients already pay for the NHS. It’s called tax.

It’s sad to see the Coach & Horses in the High St completely empty at the moment. I hoped things will pick up since it reopened in May under new ownership following refurbishment. Is it still usually fairly empty?

The sneering, grasping, right wing press will rain vitriol on nurses for voting to strike.
But they’re the very best of Britain, the heart & soul of this country.
That nurses are being forced to use food banks is an absolute national scandal. – at Oxford, England

So far this year, BBC Question Time has had 5 guests from the Telegraph and 1 guest from the Guardian
According to this News Consumption survey from Ofcom, the Guardian has twice the readership of the Telegraph
BBC Question Time is clearly bias towards right wing media
#BBCQT
The Guardian has twice the readership of the Telegraph
Yet there has only been 1 guest from the @Guardian vs 5 guests from the Telegraph

If you didn't hear Mark Carney (ex Governor of the Bank of England, and straight talker) this morning, here's a summary: the pain we're in for now is because of Brexit.

High inflation, high interest rates, recession, tax rises, public spending cuts wasn’t on the Brexit vote leave bus was it?

It's time to stop the savings rip-off!
Many still get less than a paltry 1% interest, yet top rates near 5%. Check today, then ditch & switch.
Here's my new masterclass on how to max your rate... moneysavingexpert.com/latest…

If they could …
“The way a government treats its refugees is very instructive because it shows you how they would treat the rest of us if they thought they could get away with it.”

The reason we are having an explosion of small boats is after #brexit the Dublin convention no longer applies. Under that convention we could return any migrants back to France. Once we left that no longer applied meaning less control of our borders not more. #projectreality
