Tactical voting in your constituency is the ONLY way we can ensure the Tories are not re-elected.
As a great bonus, we can enjoy Election Night watching defeated Tories crying in sports halls & community centres up & down the land.

Hell, YESSS!!!!!
Come on, UK, let's do it!
I can't think of a better New Year's Resolution than "In 2024 I'm going to help annihilate the Tories."
Are you with me?
"I honestly believe we can reduce the Tories to 70 MPs with tactical voting. Their lowest in history. It's what they deserve."

At 13 I was overweight, cripplingly shy & self-conscious, so hated PE at school. The showers after were torture for me & I'd do anything to avoid them. As punishment the PE teacher, Mrs Chamberlain, assembled entire class in the showers & ripped my towel away, leaving me naked.
Only the voters of the United States of America should be able to determine if they want Donald Trump to be their President, not some court in Colorado.
He is innocent until proven guilty, an important principle of natural justice, and therefore should remain on the ballot.
@csljohnkirby
Exactly! My son managed a franchise branch within a large, city centre WHSmith. The stress of it all, plus the lack of support from either PO or WHS line managers brought him to a complete physical & mental breakdown. Three years on and he's still recovering, suffering from PTSD.
Ignore the Governments shameless lies about the Junior doctors strike - here are the actual FACTS & this is why I’m standing shoulder to shoulder with them.

Same here.
Sunak is so out of touch with the people of the UK that he's currently orbiting Saturn. What could a privileged near billionaire possibly know of the lives of ordinary people?
Sunak is a joke, just not of the amusing type.
I had to hand in my resignation yesterday because
#LongCovid
has left me unable to do even my working-from-home part-time job.
This is NOT my personal failing; this has been my personal fight since Jan 2021 & I can no longer fight. I don't have the energy, health or brain space.
Getting Covid is not a personal failing
Getting long Covid is not a personal failing
Being high risk for Covid is not a personal failing
People have about as much control over this as their eye colour.
So stop treating all of the above like it’s their fault

Every woman has a story like yours and mine, which is a vile state to be in. And it's why, when we read each other's stories, we really understand those dreadful feelings that never leave us. Mine was 50 years ago .... still with me.
The Tories are willing to put lives at risk again so keen are they to cover up their Covid mismanagement The Tories are claiming Covid isn't a threat and are even denying people the right to buy Covid vaccines, but the risk is very real.

I used to have a 25kg Keeshond with a hatred of flies. He'd chase them around the house, jumping on whatever furniture was in his way with all the aerodynamic properties of a house brick. It always ended well for the fly, but not for my possessions. 🙄
If you are infected with Covid, it can reproduce everywhere in your body, and can do damage anywhere in your body.
Any covid infection can do this, whether you've been vaccinated five times or been infected five times.
It doesn't 'become just a cold'.
Covid remains Covid.

are the multiple missed opportunities to listen to the experts, lock down early, close the country, take advice, get it right, and - ultimately - save many thousands of lives. Equally massively enraging and deeply heartbreaking.
“I think we’re going to kill thousands of people”
Helen MacNamara paints a damning picture of Johnson’s government in the Covid Inquiry.
There was no plan from the Dept of Health, yet a “nuclear overconfidence” from Hancock who persistently lied.
It cost people their lives.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has posted a glossy new campaign video. If UK News shows won’t breakdown & call this absolute boll**** out let’s do the job for them

I was sexually assaulted weekly on London tube in late 70s-early 80s. Had to leave a brilliant, well-paid job because I couldn't get there any other way & couldn't take the assaults any longer. Police considered charging ME with assault after I jabbed one perp's hand with a key.
We let it ride when the Queen was on the throne because she'd devoted almost her entire adult life to the UK. Now she's gone, Charlie & the other hangers-on need their marching orders. The money taxpayers fork out for them would be much better spent elsewhere.

Rishi Sunak has claimed that voters are fine with him spending £50,000 a day on this ridiculously large private jet.
If you aren’t fine, RT and tell him to spend his own £720,000,000.
Where is his pay restraint?
Also like if you want him to f** off.

When I was a kid we had lino on the floors, one coal fire in the whole house (in the sitting room), ice on the inside of the windows, & itchy blankets on the beds. It wasn't character-building, it was fucking miserable, & I'm so glad I was able to give my son better than I had.

What an excellent idea. That should ensure that nobody aged 18-20, or their parents, grandparents and wider family, will vote Tory.

Nothing about the state pension is fair - nothing. Especially if you're a

and have been deprived of 6 years (approx £50,000) of it.
#50sWomenFullRestitution
Govts have hiked state pension age but life expectancy is declining.
People pay national insurance for a longer period but draw pension for a shorter period.
There is wealth transfer from poor to the rich who live the longest.
Is that fair?
50s women and their families - will not go away or be silent until their egregious, deliberately-imposed losses of around £50,000 each are addressed, compensated for, and interest paid.

@ELHopkins
Today I've travelled from a packed Gatwick to Rome. On the plane and in both airports I've seen a total of 7 masks: my FFP2, two N95s, and 4 baggy blues (one of which was acting only as a chin- warmer). I just don't get it.

@1goodtern
I went for an ECG this morning, requested by the LC Clinic. I was wearing my usual FFP2 mask but not a single other person was masked. When the technician came to reception to call me in, I asked her to mask. She did so immediately, without even enquiring why I'd asked her to.
@supertanskiii
I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone either; it killed my mum & was hideous. Mum had to manage with whatever the cash-starved, short-staffed NHS could cobble together, but Charlie has the advantage of the best private medicine money can buy. So don't expect my sympathy.

Scandalous.
My train-driver husband is extremely concerned about this issue, the like of which he's not experienced in over 40 years. It could lead to appalling incidents causing death & injuries, the loss of engines & rolling stock, and catastrophic damage to infrastructure.
"Over the next period they are going to deliberately slow the railway down, using speed restrictions, as a method to mitigate against the risk of the decline in track renewals work. We think that's a scandal."

How can they possibly impose MORE austerity, when public services have been cut right down through the bone to the marrow, wages are still so far behind inflation that they're in reverse, & people can't afford to eat & pay bills? All in the name of profit. It's cruel & inhumane.
