Took in a parcel for my neighbour across the road earlier. I just went to his house to tell him, he opened the door and there was one of my cats, sitting on his chair all comfy.
My brexity mummy text me yesterday to tell me she arrived safety on holiday. She said the airport was chaotic and they wouldnβt be texting much as they were now being charged for using the phone in Europe. I did laugh.
I am shocked by the hypocrisy of previously standing in the street clapping for the NHS and now attacking NHS staff for speaking the truth. Accusing doctors and staff of lying. What has happened?
Hi water companies. How about instead of constantly texting me telling me not to use water you focus your efforts on not discharging sewage into our seas and waterways π€·π»ββοΈ
280 people have sadly lost their lives to
#COVID19
in the last 24 hours yet we are opening up pubs and reducing safety measures. How are they getting away with this?
The BBC news reported that half of the people in ICU in
#Brazil
are under 40 years old and most have no underlying health issues. This variant is very dangerous.
I live in a constituency with a Tory MP. She is a Johnson fan and has just over 7k majority with Labour next. That majority is looking pretty shaky! Vote tactically.
We were going out for Christmas dinner this year with my mother & step-father (both massive Brexit fans). The hotel just called to say itβs cancelled due to βsupply chain issues.β π¬
As a car driver, I would absolutely support a 20 mile an hour speed limit in built up areas so fewer children and adults are harmed and killed. Pretty sure Iβm not alone here.
Went to the
@Tesco
petrol station today. I was the only one in the shop wearing a mask. Not even the staff had them on. We have just given up havenβt we.
So Iβm a public sector worker and I have a pay freeze, which means a real terms pay cut. I lose say Β£40 a month. I have to pay for rent/mortgage/food etc so I have Β£40 a month less disposable income to spend in the private sector - how does that help the private sector?
Radio 4 just asked how our debt will impact our ability to have βnice things like the NHS.β The NHS isnβt a βnice thingβ to have, itβs an essential thing to prevent people becoming ill and dying.
I think itβs a really sad reflection on our society that the government is pleased schools will be funded at the same level as 2010. Thatβs 11 years ago. Our children deserve more.
Apparently we donβt need to get a PCR test now. When we registered the positive LFT it was quite complicated. We also completed complicated forms online for track & trace. Would most people do this? We are under-reporting cases I think.
Nadine Dorries is still earning a huge salary as an MP but has not sat in Parliament for a year.
@CliveBull
asks: How can we make sure MP's work for their constituents?
Big shout out to all the wonderful GPs out there. Working through a pandemic, long hours, risk to own health, implementing new systems and keeping the NHS going. β€οΈ
I am still wearing a mask pretty much everywhere I go. The vast majority of people are not. Itβs a small act that can save lives. Itβs a sad reflection of our society that so many are not willing to help us all be safer.
We've had 5000 days of Tory Rule today π³ I've done some maths
πΉSince May 2010, the
NATIONAL DEBT HAS INCREASED,
on average,
by a staggering
Β£380 MILLION A DAY
- EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR
#5000DAYS
Which begs the question....
Where has all our money gone?
I wouldn't trust theβ¦
Since hearing theyβve found polio in London sewage I canβt help but think itβs a bad idea for water companies to pump sewage into the sea and waterways. π€·π»ββοΈ
Inflation has doubled and is now 1.5% meaning my NHS colleagues and I have a real terms pay CUT of 0.5%. This last year has been utterly exhausting, distressing and so difficult. We are getting a pay cut π
Oh my, 6 year old no longer testing positive but 8 year old has a stomach bug and throwing up, husband just tested positive for Covid, the dog also has a stomach bug and is on antibiotics and Iβm shattered! Please send Tom Hardy to cheer me up.
The new law about life sentences for people who kill emergency workers doesnβt quite make sense to me. Shouldnβt we all be treated the same in law? Are sentences now based on the jobs we do?
I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist working with people who have psychosis. Iβm fully vaccinated & so are my family. Vaccination is important to protect my loved ones, my colleagues & service users. It reduces morbidity, mortality & reduces ICU admission.
#VaccinesWork
Sadly we are back to staying in as much as possible. Gigs that were cancelled and rearranged we wonβt now be going to. COVID19 is out of control and we must do what we can to stay safe.
A delivery driver just asked if I was a Dr, he said he was shocked as I am attractive and βtoo gorgeousβ to be a Dr. So should I be offended or flattered? 2021 is hard.
A friend sat outside A&E with their elderly relative for 17 hours before even seeing a clinician - 36 hours it took for them to be admitted. How is this not a national emergency? Why no cobra meeting?
When I see sportsman taking the knee I think, well done, taking a stance against racism is commendable. I donβt really get how you can think anything else? π€·π»ββοΈ
Fascinating watching our Government spin the
#Brexit
calamity. Originally told the public Brexit would lead to cheaper goods, fuel and food. Now they are saying that higher cost of goods, fuel and food was ALWAYS the plan as the UK should not be using cheaper labour. π€¦π»ββοΈ
Oh god, some Corbyn fan boy went through my tweets and found one from last year where I said at least Corbyn will go after the GE and now loads of horrid Labour folk are piling on. It really is nasty isnβt it.
We need to remove the term βjunior doctor.β It seems to be confusing people! These people are trained doctors, working at all different levels, with years of experience. Thereβs nothing junior about them. Theyβre just not at consultant level.
What I am struggling to understand is why MPs are allowed second/third jobs they can do in working hours as an MP? They receive 82k to work as an MP - thatβs a full time job so why are they allowed to use those working hours on other roles? It wouldnβt be allowed in other posts.
My friend has travelled to Australia to visit her daughter who lives there. She is spending 2 weeks quarantining in a hotel before she can see her. Australia know what theyβre doing.
The crowd booing other countries national anthems, the fighting, anti-social behaviour, racist attacks and storming of the ground shows us that England should no longer be allowed to hold international tournaments.
Who is gonna stay up all night when we eventually get a
#GeneralElectionNow
? Iβm gonna host a party, stay up all night and cheer each time the conservatives lose a seat. The damage they have done to this country is unreal.
Not sure why we couldnβt delay re-opening for a few weeks until we have more data on the new variant? Lots of people are not vaccinated yet including our children.
In the Tory party, why do the donors pay for politicians food/decorating etc? Whatβs in it for them and isnβt it a bit strange to be paying for someoneβs groceries? Seems odd.
My 5 year old just told me that heβs a wise man in the Christmas play at school. He said βI have a line, I donβt know what it is but itβs about Frankenstein.β
A pay freeze for teachers means they are earning around 8% less now compared to 2012. Teaching is an essential and skilful job. Itβs stressful which explains the high rates of people leaving the profession. Pay teachers properly.
I saw on the news a teacher in a Jewish faith school stating the kids go on a trip to meet kids from a Muslim faith school and they learn they have things in common and get along. Anyway, I had an idea! Letβs not segregate school kids by parental religion! Secular education only!
Our trains donβt work, our infrastructure is poor, our health services are broken, our social care system is at breaking point, our water & sewage processes are failing, our energy costs are unaffordable, are schools are crumbling. IT WASNβT ALWAYS LIKE THIS.
