@TonbridgeDaily With the imminent opening of a dentist surgery in the old MacDonalds/Taco Bell shop, we find ourselves in the rather odd position of having more dentist practices (6) than GP surgeries (3)!

@TonbridgeDaily Might any of your followers have travelled by bus to Tunbridge Wells Hospital during the current A21 closure? What diversions/delays have they experienced? I have an appointment there later this week. Neither the hospital nor Arriva can help me. 🙏

Why are UK News shows still avoiding these facts when discussing teachers pay 🚨Average teachers’ pay is now a whopping 9% lower in real terms today than in 2010 🚨Cuts in pay are even larger for more experienced workers in the profession 🚨Teachers are taking on 2nd jobs, skipping meals & using food banks 🚨 Some support staff & teachers have been forced to access benefits like Universal Credit to cope 🚨& to cap it all off Teachers work more unpaid overtime than any other profession LETS NOT FORGET WHATS IMPORTANT IN THIS DISCUSSION @BBCNews @BBCBreakfast @SkyNews
UK News Shows are failing to point out teachers’ pay is whopping 9% lower in real terms than 2010 with cuts even larger for more experienced workers in the profession Teachers are taking on 2nd jobs & using food banks If you think that’s important RT @NEUnion @DanielKebedeNEU

Just for fun, we decided at the end of our Sunday morning pick to use what we'd collected as an election predictor! @TandM_Greens - could this be a sign of Greens way out in front in #Tonbridge? #ElectionForecast #GeneralElection2024

If you live in the Tonbridge Constituency and have anything to ask Anna about her campaign to become your MP come along to the Castle and say hello later. There are also hustings at Tonbridge Baptist Church on Monday evening featuring all candidates from 7pm for a 7.30pm start.

Today's @bbc5live German football term of the day is 'die Gurkentruppe'. Listen out for the station's #EURo2024 reporters trying to sneak the word into their match commentary, particularly if one of the teams isn't playing well (via @rickedwards1).

I just signed the petition calling on the next government to back NHS England's plan to hire more permanent NHS staff, instead of wasting taxpayer's money on private agencies. Will you join me? 38d.gs/jstj

“Thames Water tests for vomiting bug contamination as families fall sick Exclusive: after cryptosporidium outbreak in Devon, residents in south-east London report stomach cramps and diarrhoea.” How long, in God’s name how long can this go on? 🤬 theguardian.com/environment/…

Final rant about being stuck on the A3 coming into London today in a traffic jam that moved five miles in five hours. No exit roads. No service stations Elderly ladies hobbling into the bushes in vain search for a dignified place to pee. Children howling. @TfL said they were doing “emergency repair works” near the Tolworth tunnel. But all day, drivers that finally made it there saw no work happening at all. Nor did I. Nothing. Just a lot of cones. So that @TfL message was apparently not true. I find I can’t let this this lie. How can this happen ? How can it be Iegal? What part of Broken Britain accounts for this ? The problem here’ isn’t Half Term or bank holiday because this is going INTO London. So what is this ? Is this pure incompetence ? The consequence of outsourcing to dodgy contractors? Or something shadier ? Maybe someone has inside information that could anonymously share ?

@TonbridgeDaily There are no Arriva 218s running - they’ve been cut apparently due to some road works at Pembury Rd (?). Just taken me 1 1/4 hours to get home from York Parade because I didn’t know… 😡🤷‍♂️
