Hear me when I say I’ve heard or read many many thousands of ex smokers say they could only quit thanks to vaping. Research pretty clear to me vapes help smokers quit.
@AlexWodak Vapes helped me quit a 30 year smoking addiction. They work.

There was a time when Richard Tice sought to be a moderating and modernising figure within Reform. I’m not entirely sure why he’s suddenly opted for this Bernard Manning tribute act…

In defence of the police: maligned by the left for anti-black bias and the right for anti-white bias - all while putting their bodies on the line to protect the public. Here’s the truth: the vast majority do a great job in invidious circumstances https://t.co/gICo9kisvn

A former Trump White House press secretary writes:
Re: Trump’s self-announced press conference today at 2 pm: He’s panicking. I’ve seen this play many times. He thinks his team is failing him & no one can speak better/“save” his campaign/defend him but him. He hates the coverage Harris is getting & thinks only he can fix it.

The evidence is clear: e-cigarettes can help smokers quit or significantly reduce their tobacco use, thereby reducing the staggering burden of tobacco-related diseases. #TobaccoHarmReduction

Evidence shows they can help smokers quit or reduce their tobacco use. That would help justice-impacted communities like mine.

We condemn the ongoing violent disorder which is making it such a frightening time for many in the pharmacy family. The safety of pharmacy teams is paramount and the NHS, employers, and owners must communicate this clearly and provide support. https://t.co/TRSRae2Et1

Sheffield again demonstrates today that we will not be divided by those who want to sow fear & hate. We take great pride in being a welcoming city and celebrating our diversity. Strong and proactive policing all day. Thank you to @syptweet for working hard to keep people safe.

I got called a p*ki by a patient in the pharmacy who told me she didn’t want me to serve her since I didn’t respond to her question asking what religion I am. Nothing life-threatening, so yes I turned her away. We should not be expected to tolerate racial abuse. End of.

Our message is clear - racism and Islamophobia should never be mistaken for patriotism. West Yorkshire stands for tolerance and fairness. Everyone living in our region has the right to feel safe, including those fleeing famine and war. With @WestYorksPolice we're committed to

No Robert you do not get to go on national broadcasters and say one thing and try and pretend you said something else after! If you genuinely feel your comments on @SkyNews were inappropriate, offensive, incendiary and anti Muslim ( which they were) then start by apologising
‘Allahu Akbar’ is spoken peacefully and spiritually by millions of British Muslims in their daily lives. But the aggressive chanting below is intimidatory and threatening. And it’s an offence under Section 4 and 5 of the Public Order Act. Extremists routinely abuse common

I urge minority communities and allies not to respond to this provocation. Let the police do their job. Let the courts deal with the culprits. These arsonists pretending to be patriots are setting our country alight. Now more than ever we must be the ones to choose peace over
BREAKING: Police are now aware of over 100 possible events and 30 potential counter events tonight on the streets of the UK.

Spare us the faux outrage Robert and the leadership contest “serious face” bull💩 And use this awful moment to reflect on your language and conduct and what impact it’s had on where the country finds itself.
All violence must end. All violence must be called out. Now is the time to punish the guilty and restore order.
