Forget the PPC race, the babyish infightinging: nurturing crossparty 'unauthorised" coalitions/ alliances at lower echechelons of local government can SAVE LIVES!!!! Mine wd be a start! @LibDems @libdemlife @LibVoice4Women @LibDemNewswire @libdemdaisy m.facebook.com/story.php?sto…

Heartbroken
We are sorry to have to announce that the long-awaited decision on the Sizewell C judicial review went against us. Obviously, this is not the result TASC were hoping for, so naturally, we are disappointed, but this verdict does not signal the end of our efforts…1/4

Coward Johnson: the proven liar & bully - whose meme- enablers are so so determined to to believe him, that they will still lunk-headedly repeat every one of his self-serving lies & pin their own horrifying life crises to every decision made by him - like him -but blame others

I have shared before how cancer changes a marriage. That is especially true post-surgery. Every day Mr McGee helps me get showered & dressed, he cooks my meals & plumps my cushions so I am comfy. All whilst working FT, caring for our son & running our home. Total superhero.

£157m Covid Business Loans went to private schools when state schools were SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED. These private schools Inc that of Tory Sunak, Steve Barclay, Michael Gove, Jeremy Hunt & more These schools are 'charitable organisations' which avoid VAT! opendemocracy.net/en/dark-mo…
Community note
State schools are publicly funded by the Dept for Education's budget. During the pandemic additional support included catch up funding of £1.7bn. educationhub.blog.gov.uk/2021/06/02/how… Private schools are not affiliated with the state so were supported with loans in the same way as any other private organisation

Well said Cro. I had that when my father was in a care home in Edinburgh - he was blind and extremely deaf. He wasn’t stupid! Most of my time was spent explaining his needs (and wishes) to staff, complex as they were #CaringforCarers

For all those who have lost a child, this is beautiful, by Alexander Ivanovich Herzen, a Russian radical of the mid 19th century whose beloved seven-year old son drowned in a boat accident: “Because children grow up, we think a child’s purpose is to grow up. But a child’s purpose is to be a child. Nature doesn’t disdain what lives only for a day. It pours the whole of itself into each moment. We don’t value the lily less for not being made of flint. Life’s bounty is in its flow. Where is the song when it’s been sung? The dance when it’s been danced? Was the child happy when he or she lived? That is a proper question, the only question.”
