The @BritishMedicalAssociation has decided resident (junior) doctors will strike over Christmas. They don't have public support. Personally, I'm appalled. Last year's pay deal was very generous.

China is eyeing up UK mineral resources - tin, copper and tungsten. All are vital for electronics. Our Government must support home- grown Cornish businesses extracting these vital strategic minerals.

Helen Whately MP showing her ignorance of PIP. Why do the Tories let her loose with @bbclaurak.bsky.social? It's an own goal.

Should someone create a Helen Whately Fan Club?

Intellectual titans Zarah Sultana and Helen Whately on #bbclaurak. Would quite frankly be a miracle if they both found the studio.

Rocking horse-brained Helen Whately, who claimed £3,250/month in expenses on rent for a second home despite owning a £1m farmhouse less than 50 miles from Westminster, calls for the welfare bill to be slashed. Irony dying before our very eyes. #bbclaurak

In October Tory shadow minister Helen Whately said millions of people with mental health issues get a car through the motability scheme. Guess what? It turns out she was lying #bbclaurak

I don't usually follow football events but a FIFA peace prize, really... ? Then the shock! The prize went to "Mr.Donald J. Trump." Err, we all know how many wars he's stopped - absolutely none!

Another strike by Resident (junior) Doctors - the public will have little sympathy. In all my years working in local government I never received the generous pay rises they feel entitled to.

🌳Vast areas of our most vital habitat are at risk of being lost forever. Will you join Dame Judi Dench and @wildcard.land in calling for DEFRA to fund the restoration of our publicly owned ancient woodlands? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/br...

Call me miserable curmudgeon if you like - Black Friday is yet another unwelcome import from the USA.

As a supporter of our NHS I'm appalled that Resident (aka Junior) Doctors have chosen to strike yet again. I think the majority of patients will agree with me that they are well paid and they're being greedy.

Littleworth Common is close to Dorney Wood (the Chancellor's official residence) and Cliveden (famous for the Christine Keeler / Profumo scandal).

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is to be exiled to a house in Sandringham. I'd send him to Rockall our last outpost in mid-Atlantic & good riddance!

I may be unpopular but I loathe Halloween, a detestable import from the USA.

Time to strip Andrew Windsor of any remaining privileges including the grace and favour mansion in Windsor Great Park.

Clean air is a social justice issue ⤵️ That’s why City Hall is targeting £2.7m in London areas with poorer air quality and higher deprivation. By providing more than 200 schools with air filters, we’ll help tens of thousands of children breathe cleaner air.

The new Archbishop of Canterbury is announced today. Sarah Mullally, the first woman to hold this role moves from Bishop of London and her appointment is very welcome. She will lead the worldwide Anglican Communion.

Trump is clearly deranged - why does he think UN General Assembly wants to know about his feelings about our London Mayor, Sir Sadiq Khan. @london.gov.uk

A principled decision.

the duality of hating the uk but also loving it at the same time because this wouldn’t happen anywhere else

Discussion in the UK upper chamber, House of Lords last night - refugees seeking asylum should be given chance to work. I agree - if they have useful skills. I agree - my view for some time.

Angela Rayner made a mistake and it is right to resign rather than being sacked. It's a shame but I think she will in future be given an important role to use.her real talent.

Why have the press not spoken to @number10cat.bsky.social for her views on the Angela Rayner story? Surely, dear Larry will support her.

It's clear that the IDF targeted Al Nasser Hospital & it's probable that they knew Press staff were there.

What's wrong with some people? Rubbish dumped by bus stop BT in Uxbridge. Same at bus stop BV on other side of Cowley Road (A408). @hillingdoncouncil.bsky.social

It's deeply worrying when the world's most powerful statesman rambles that "I know a lot about grass" & then tries to convince us he can stop Putin destroying Ukraine. Clearly, Trump is unbalanced. Terrifying!
