I realise why I find this quote from Robin Cook so haunting.
It’s not just because he was right that the Blair and Brown governments would fail to reform the electoral system before losing office..

New to @Medicash and redirected to a website for “extras” but the site is really poorly designed. I can’t even scroll across. Any chance you have app access?

I missed the actual day but every day is an important day to say that trans rights are human rights.
Today is #TransDayOfVisibility - a day to celebrate incredible trans individuals from all walks of life and reaffirm our commitment to ending transphobia.
From Southwark to Edinburgh, @LibDems are fighting for our trans communities ✊🏳️⚧️ #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TDOV
Exactly this. Rich profit straight away, rest of us have the “promise” of help in the future, some day🙄
The budget offer of free childcare for under 3s is nothing more than an election policy.
In 18 mths time a few will benefit (2 yr olds with 15 hours) and the rest isn’t brought in until Sept 2025.
2.5 years is far more than the nursery provision needs to scale up. #HelpNow
#PoliticsLive has no female take on the budget announcements.

Wouldn’t it be money better spent setting up immigration processing centres in conjunction with France. Remove the need to smuggle and there’s no people smugglers - but we all know this is not what “stopping the boats” really means 😞

Reports flooding in that regime in Iran are now gassing women-only dorms at universities. Girls are dropping like flies. This is systematic, industrial-scale targeting of women as revenge for #WomanLifeFreedom movement. @BBCNews @Channel4News @mrjamesob this needs to be covered.
How is a government using chemical weapons on its own young, female citizens at their place of education this past few weeks - harming thousands and with potential long term side effects - NOT a headline story?!
#WomanLifeFreedom
A team up with @DrKayvanMirhadi to show you what’s behind girls dying and 1,200 hospitalised in Iran. An unprecedented chemical attack by the #IRI on girls-only schools as revenge for the #WomanLifeFreedom movement.
🚨 Urgent action needed.
Do please share #IranRevoIution

The Domesday book records the original spelling of Mansfield as ‘Mamesfield’, probably deriving from the Old English ‘mamme’, meaning tit, as in the thing Ben is making out of himself here

Laura Kuenssberg: Maybe social care would improve is care workers weren't struggling on £18,000 / year.
Rishi Sunak: What if we gave them a SENSE that they're being paid more?
#BBCLauraK: Would you work for £18,000?
Rishi Sunak: Look Laura! My job actually matters!!

Hey working class people in the North! The government thinks you're all racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic and just generally people who hate others.
Don't vote for any party that has such a low opinion of your compassion and empathy.
I helped out at @babybasicsboltn on Wednesday morning- the team there do amazing work and they are so welcoming. Thanks to @MediTech_Media and @Inizio_Health for allowing me the time out.
Whilst the ones earning least lose out the on the benefit of the increasing tax threshold. Typical Tories, the wealthiest get richer whilst the rest of us struggle and get relatively poorer
