Tonsillitis? Glandular fever? 😨 my daughter was hours away from being hospitalised when she had tonsillitis. She was unwell for two weeks.

Every time I read about Ruby to my children, younger than six then, I would be in tears. Imagine being the mother dressing up that little girl so well and sending her off to face that hateful world. And imagine being that girl. What a world. The strength of humans is immense.

Eric Pickles also destroyed the audit commission. He has a history of getting rid of any means for holding power accountable. And people die. That’s how deregulation works.

Eric Pickles (now a Lord) was the minister in charge of fire safety before the Grenfell fire. When he appeared in front of the Grenfell inquiry he told them not to waste his time.

I don't trust anyone who thinks charities are the answer rather than socialism. Redistribution of wealth, fair taxation, and equality are also answers.

That Dido Harding better be trending because she's been arrested and set to be held accountable for £37bn worth of test and trace failure.

I applied for Voter ID with my NI number and address -- at which I've been resident for over a decade. Now the council want 3 to 4 more forms of ID to provide me with voter ID. 3 from List A, or 2 from A and 1 from List B, or 1 from A and 2 from B or 4 from B

Madeley is just the worst. It’s staggering to think we’ve created a society where people like him profit while doctors and nurses (let alone patients) suffer.

He is the most loathsome of them all. It’s going to be horrible. Imagine calling it a begging bowl culture.

Id rather the mindset, focus and activity of the Dept for Health and Social Care is people, not economic growth.

This is such a weird take. Labour were dreadful. Carla seemed natural and had practical solutions. And Thangam couldn’t control her temper.

How were the children fighting? How do you sleep at night writing this stuff while their blood is still there spilt on the ground?

How dare you. You don’t welcome refugees. You said they were expensive and potentially dangerous. You fed this atmosphere.
