It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did.
But if your mate put you there?
That's fine.
Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.

It looks like the kind of 'cold compress' my son's primary school puts on a graze if a child falls over in the playground (made from a dampened paper towel...)

Or a fruit platter/nespresso machine in the staff room ๐Ÿค”... We need to have public spaces and activities where different demographics, life stages, cultures get to do low key stuff together...

And we thought our spiv UK gvt was shocking with the Covid VIP lane contracts for medical supplies at the height of the pandemic- that was nothing compared with the seemingly brazen profiteering conduct of Trump et al...๐Ÿ˜”

Hopefully the shitness of Reform's attitude to women/women's rights will soon start to impact their appeal and this nonsense over long-standing British citizens being deported will end... #ReformAreNotYourFriends

Should probably ask for my Mum's NHS app login details so I can stay on top of her various interactions with health providers...

Keir Starmer and David Lammy are taking an extraordinarily dangerous gamble with our individual liberty This week, MPs will vote on the second reading of the Courts and Tribunals Bill. Donโ€™t let the anodyne name fool you โ€“ this is one of the most revolutionary pieces of legislation in ourโ€ฆ

Labour's core voters, on which its re-election entirely depends, are crystal clear about this: they absolutely hate its illiberal, intolerant, draconian, rightwards turn. Hence the total collapse in support. So how does the government respond? #SuicideMission๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

We are living in a world where people increasingly believe any old nonsense... (which is partly why I pay a few quid to Full Fact every month)- yesterday evening at my kid's football session a nice dad starting telling me about about COVID being manufactured to reduce the world population...๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

I volunteer at an ESOL class for mainly refugee women and it has reinforced for me how hard and rubbish English is compared with other languages with consistent pronunciation and grammatical rules...

This isnโ€™t a hallucination, Michael Gove. Youโ€™ve never explained the millions you disbursed to buddies with your crony Covid Contracts.

Cashing in on the worst public health crisis in a century should disbar people from public life permanently.
