At 16, I was placed in a bedsit with two older men who were both alcoholics. The place was dangerous and unsuitable for a 16 year old boy leaving care and starting an independent life. No one listened when I begged for somewhere safe to live. I ended up falling behind on my bills because I had no money or support, and before I knew it, I was homeless. That's how quickly it can happen, and you have no control over it whatsoever. It is not a lifestyle choice. @SuellaBraverman

Five years ago today, Jamal Khashoggi, a brave and outspoken journalist, walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Inside, a team of killers strangled him & cut up his body with a bone-saw. According to US officials, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved the murder.

John Glen, deputy to @Jeremy_Hunt, wants to know “why doctors and nurses say they spend up to half their time not with patients, but on admin”. The Lansley reforms cut NHS management by 40% in 2012. That work still needed doing, so now it’s clinicians doing it. Happy to help.

Many congratulations to Louis Griffiths for becoming the youngest ever 1st team player for Oxford United! 18 months ago he was playing age-group football for @SummertStarsAFC - a great credit to all his coaches over the years.

In a way Nadine Dorries political trajectory embodied all that's been awful about the last 13 years. A vindictive, mean-spirited MP who, despite doing nothing of any worth, and clearly being out of her depth as a minister was imbued with an immense degree of baseless entitlement.

.@afneilI Other countries have NHS-type models that work well, if they are copies is irrelevant. The NHS should be seen in the context of UK performance on railways, sewage in rivers, potholes, lack of investment, etc. Perhaps it's not the NHS model but UK governance & politics.

Medical school could 100% be shorter if students were guaranteed: - world class placements on well-staffed wards with doctors who actually have time to train them - a generous bursary that means none of them need part time jobs Funnily enough, this plan provides neither.

1) Thread for today: I am not going to opine on the Supreme Court's ruling except to tell a story about a late and valued friend. The story will suffice for the sum of my thoughts about affirmative action. I was working at the student newspaper at the University of Maryland...

1/2 So let me get this right: As a teacher, or any other public service worker, I cannot have a reasonable pay increase. because if I need it to pay my increased mortgage and increased food prices, I need to lose my home and and use food banks in order to cut inflation?

I’ll do you a deal Edwina, if you sell me your house at its 1980s value adjusted for inflation, I will slowly pay you back at 16% interest and not complain about it

5 people, paying 250k to travel in an unsafe vessel to a dangerous place. 500 people, in an unsafe vessel, trying desperately to get to a safe place. Why do some people feel such a connection with the first group, but not the second?

Imagine claiming that a few Bible verses on human sexuality are literal divine commands from God for all of society, all while claiming the 3,000 verses calling for the care of immigrants, the marginalized, the oppressed, and the poor should just be a personal choice.

We should set about creating a nation where a 27 year old with a good professional job or an establish trade can afford to buy a home on that wage while still affording holidays, cars and nights out.

How can we live in a country where a proven liar gets £250,000 of public money to defend his lies and woman who is proven by a court to have told the truth is made to pay a penalty of £1 million?

Chest thumping nationalism, economic parochialism, gerrymandering elections, criminalising protest, disdain for the arts, provoking the worst strikes in a generation, protecting corporate power while pushing foodbank use through the roof, dehumanising and scapgoating refugees...
I really don’t understand this ‘hard-right’ narrative. Besides a bit of tough talk on the channel (which has led to no action) what else have the conservatives actually done that could be considered far-right? Absolute nonsense.
