The Government admits our voting system is broken, and that's why they're scrapping it for electing Mayors in the Devolution Bill. But if it’s not good enough for Mayors, it’s not good enough for General Elections. Please sign Unlock Democracy's letter.

Take Big Money Out of Our Politics British politics is awash with money from super rich donors. In 2023, two-thirds of all private donations came from just 19 people. These so-called ‘mega donors’ enjoy privileged access to political p...

119 - Liverpool have never lost a Premier League game at Anfield when 2+ goals up at half time, going on to win 117 of those matches (D2). Champagne.

Hey, are Scot Rail not on here yet? Do I have to go back to another platform to ask them questions? A shame - their social media team are good sorts!

No one should die in hospital when they don’t want or need to be there. The state of end of life care needs to change. Wes Streeting is right. No one should die in hospital when they don’t want or need to be there. The state of end of life care needs to change.

Symetrical artwork featuring a stylised central white female figure wearing an ornate headdress or crown and long robe or cloak in gold and with details of lines and small red hearts on the borders, in front of her chin is a red rose motif and to each side of her head is a small white childish face, all on a dark blue background bordered by a dashed line

Every time you think you just can't be pushed any further - you'll find a way or get a lull. You'll do things even more surreal than the Las Vegas Grand Prix. But you'll do it. And so will your wee one. I hope you have a sling and an insulated mug. 💪

You can be committed to introducing assisted dying, committed to opposing that, or anywhere between, yet still agree that palliative care (including pain medication per this particular letter) can be organised and resourced better and more equitably

I'd agree that's a ... proportional ... response! Good luck, take care, moving is super stressful, best wishes for your new home.

It feels like time for this. I know a good number of #political and political-adjacent pals and colleagues will be interested in this as part of how #NI #politics has and is changing

Great news Charlie, a really impost time to be raising awareness among the general public about the contribution of the #hospice sector, how it works,the existential challenges created by the financial squeeze and how that will impact care and support for dying people and their loved ones.

Currently reading "The Magician's Nephew" to the wee one. The creation of Narnia. Grand and new and growing and beautiful BUT is the evil already here? We're reassured that we have hundreds of years - in this world's time - before it affects us.

Feels like 2008. Having hashtags explained to me. So much politics, so little football.
