Hopefully getting home from an 8 week stay in hospital so I can see my baby girl again.

What’s going on, why can the Government U Turn and relax non-dom tax rules but can’t do the same with Winter Fuel Allowance?

For folks who got the Emergency Alert, stopped the noise and lost the Alert Message because it isn’t stored on your phone texts etc (at least on an iPhone 11)

£50m robbed from the NHS by Michelle Mone went on this Mega-yacht.

Did Donald Trump just say that Elon Musk helped him rig the election? “[Elon Musk] knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide."

Why is our taxpayer's money going to the Royals in so many ways? Empty Dartmoor prison pays Prince William’s Duchy £1.5m a year & has another 24 years left on its lease Charities which the Royals are patrons of also pay millions to them in rent Make it make sense www.thetimes.com/article/ddf3...

Isabel Oakeshott (went to same school as King Charles) has moved to tax haven Dubai, such is her love of UK. Give me strength Boyfriend Tice's family built skyscrapers there Reform UK Ltd aka RICH KIDS fooling those who have nothing...but filling them with hatred of others who have nothing either

Time zones are fascinating. Australia is already in 2025, Europe is still 2024, and the USA is currently in 1939.

I had Covid in October. A month later a Delivery guy came to the house & I apologised that I hadn’t seen him in ages because I had Covid. He said ‘I don’t believe in Covid’. Words utterly failed me - it is NOT a ‘belief’ option you can identify out of. That’s not how Reality works.

Scotland this morning 😍

Take a moment to appreciate that Time had to fact check the man they named Man of the Year.

Building firm goes bust owing £1.2 million to Cornish taxpayers The developer managed to finish its 'luxurious' homes but collapsed before paying up towards affordable housing in #Cornwall - & is trying to blame Cornwall Council. www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwal...

‘We’re getting poorer’ says Nigel Farage In other news the Brexit he championed is on course to cut UK trade by a staggering 15% - a huge reduction in the potential economic performance of the country at a time when every penny counts youtu.be/jvo1JM6xZqQ?...

Non disabled people see the ER as a magical place you go when you’re suffering. They believe they will be “fixed” and sent home feeling better than before. People like me know it’s not true. We mourn the loss of the innocence we had when we too believed the hospital was safe 🧵

According to homeless charities it would take £1.8 Billion to solve the UK homeless crisis This parasite & his family have assets in excess of £68 Billion Ditch the starched white apron & photo shoots, get the cheque book out. Even better disband the monarchy, #NotMyGreedyRoyals #AbolishTheCrown

Man abuses women as said women are filming about feeling unsafe in public spaces. You couldn’t make it up www.itv.com/news/granada...

Elon Musk and Amazon want to weaken and eventually destroy Workers Rights (starting in the US). At some point people need to wake up and realise these men want to enslave the entire planet for Musk & Bezos personal greed www.newstatesman.com/comment/2024...

Elon Musk wants to control entire countries’ democracy. Wanting to give Farage 100million ££ to ensure he becomes Prime Minister - that is utter corruption. It’s not ‘freedom’ if one billionaire controls the planet. That’s an abuse of power. Power corrupts and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.

The inagural nerve-ridden episode of my Tickling the Void podcast is up! 🙏 First one out the way. The journey to get out my existential hole of misery has begun! youtu.be/hABj2OYU8Qg?...

Wait time for a disabled person to access medically assisted death in Canada? 3 months A specialist for TREATABLE conditions? 12-18 months Affordable housing? Multiple years Palliative care, psychiatric care & pain management? Good luck. This is why we’re scared. Via @paulapeters19.bsky.social

The next 3 weekends will be spent in one of my favourite places. The market in Merchant Square, in the Merchant City. I'm there from 11 am till 6 pm on Saturday and 5 pm on Sunday. We have artists, jewellers, photographers, a wonderful hat maker, and me. #OorPatts.com

"Gregg Wallace" is trending just ahead of "Winter Fuel Payment". The unspeakable in front of the unheatable!

Exactly what Westminster needs, more toxic shit and chemicals in the waterways until the resultant deadly plague kills off all England’s poor and half the middle classes, and thus save the government a fortune. 👀

The SNP's Stephen Flynn called out a Labour Minister for backing policies which 'go after the poorest in society' live on the BBC ⬇️

The UK Benefits System made me attend a 'fit for work' interview, when I was on crutches and was awaiting a Brain Tumour Operation. TWICE. It's changed, it was not very good.

Dear Royal Mail - you’re either doing your job or NOT. "We take the security of mail very seriously & investigate any concerns raised by customers." OR “first and second-class items aren’t tracked so the matter could not be investigated further.” - you cant say u do BOTH www.itv.com/news/wales/2...

Hold on 🤔 🇬🇧 UK Labour scrap the winter fuel payment, thus reducing funding to the SG by £160m ✅ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 UK Labour MP's vote for the cut ✅ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scottish Labour MSP's vote against a motion asking the UK Gov to reverse the cut. ✅ And now, Sarwar wants @theSNP to reinstate? Make it make sense🫣

Award-winning actor Peter Mullan on the 'particular form of Westminster blackmail' seen during the 2014 independence referendum 👇

Really pissed off. My union UNITE, run by @unitesharon.bsky.social is asking me to protest against the Scottish Government. Dear Sharon You should be blaming Labour in Westminster. Scotland pays £84 million/year for Labour mis-finance & has already paid £750m mitigating WM. #ScottishIndependence

Another woman, a mom of two young kids and an MBA trying for a third kid with her husband, allowed to die while miscarrying in Texas even as her doctor mother-in-law insisted she needed a D&C

My problem is that I've yet to win an argument with a shark.

PPE COVID Cash Carousel: Documents Expose Government’s Struggle to Recover £520 Million Lost to Dissolved and Bankrupt Firms Hundreds of millions were wasted on contracts with zombie companies which vanished before any taxpayers’ cash could be recovered bylinetimes.com/2024/11/21/p...

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. But he still needed a 45% pay rise. Like if he needs a pay cut. RP if you want the Monarchy gone. #AbolishTheMonarchy

Times readers aren't taking the imminence of Scottish Independence too well if the comments section is anything to go by.

The illusion of choice. #ScottishIndependenceASAP

How can *anyone* living in energy rich Scotland - where we're able to produce more cheap renewable electricity than we need - think this is an acceptable situation? #ScottishIndependence

You know what the silver lining is with having Covid is? - NOTHING. My greatest achievement this month and next will be if I can lay down and breathe at the same time!

The only way to apply to the Warm Discount Grant is via your own energy account with your own provider and they will do NOT ever need your bank details for it as it’s credited to your Energy Account (It does NOT go into your bank account EVER). If they ask for finance details AT ALL - it is a SCAM.

My dear, more vulnerable followers - You will NEVER be phoned about applying for the Warm Home Discount randomly. You have to apply yourself through your own provider. But they will NEVER contact you about it in email/text/dodgey links about it. This is a SCAM run by a**sholes. Don’t fall for it.
