45 years and counting in the NHS. Zero tolerance of those spreading racial or religious hatred. If that’s you, move on. Private account. #HullCityAFC 🐅

To those who think they’re insulting me by saying that I’ve cleaned NHS toilets for 45 years: it’s NOT an insult. The cleaners, porters, laundry, catering and other ancillary staff do a great job and are vital members of the team. Respect to them all. Think of a better insult.

Just to clear something up, The money spent on PPE was not “wasted” It was not “misappropriated” It was stolen… From all of us. Money that could have saved thousands of lives was stolen!

Sad to hear about Chris Rea’s death. Surprised to hear that he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 41 years ago. That may give hope to others suffering from that terrible disease. https://t.co/WcyiFMuebl

A statement from his wife and two children says he "passed away peacefully in hospital earlier today following a short illness, surrounded by his family".

As a man of the people, I will always defend trail hunting, which I know is a top priority for all my working class constituents who own horses and enjoy simple pleasures like ripping foxes apart for laughs.

“It’s taken Labour 16 months and 6 interest rate cuts to bring rates down by the amount I increased them overnight with my mini-budget. Just shows I was achieving change much quicker, Nads.”

We taste over 5,000 wines a year. Only 4% make the cut. You almost picked one of them. Not some mass-market label. Not a bottle you’ll find on grocery shelves. This is the kind of wine you remember. And you were one click away. Join the 4%.

In a world of Tommy Robinson, Nigel Farage, Donald Trump and Katie Hopkins just be a decent human. Please don’t blame those of a different race or religion for your own failures and poor choices. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

8th time I’ve travelled to Europe with my dog post-Brexit. That’s £1500 down the drain for ridiculous Animal Health forms. EU residents can simply show the pet passports we used to have when they visit the U.K. There’s many other reasons to detest Brexit but this really bugs me.

It comes despite a former aide claiming Reform UK overspent on Farage's election campaign.

People on low incomes in County Durham are about to be hit with a council tax bill for the first time. Reform-led Durham County Council has voted to scrap full council tax exemptions for people on the lowest incomes. From April many residents who previously paid nothing will now

Will LLMs be Commoditized? TL;DR: Don't sleep on $GOOGL ’s "free tier" playbook sucking out all the economic oxygen amid the current LLM wars. Will LLMs commoditize? To answer this core debate, it may be helpful to consider the LLM wars for Consumer AI and Enterprise AI

I never said I want to replace the NHS with an insurance based system, and here I am not saying it.

Future generations will look back on ours with incredulity. They’ll never understand why, when by the mid-2020’s Brexit had been shown to be an unmitigated disaster, economically and socially, and a large majority wishing it had never happened, we left it so long to reverse it.

LIKE if you think Farage, who prioritises Trump’s interests over the interests of the UK, is our least patriotic party leader since records began. REPOST if you think he prioritises his own accumulation of wealth over anything else. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The BBC should take a leaf from the Pulitzer organisation playbook. Trump is suing them for reputational damage, so they’ve asked for full disclosure of finances, medical records, etc., for proof he’s been harmed. Trump won’t want to show all the things he likes to keep hidden
Like if you are on the side of the BBC against Trump. Repost if you are appalled at Reform siding with Trump in his attempt to bankrupt the BBC.
