Hi @TfL Can you explain why there can’t be a more regular evening service on the trams? What are the associated costs, and why can’t they be met? Once every 15 mins is basically ridiculous. #croydontrams #tramlink

I have zero interest in either football or patriotism. Neither needed to absolutely love #DearEngland @NationalTheatre A wonderful script, sublimely acted, and bringing in lots of teenage boys to the theatre. Great all round ❤️❤️

Am going to do a substantive post on Raab and bullying for tomorrow but the idea that his behaviour was necessary to drive performance can be refuted by the absence of a single substantive achievement in 7 years as a minister and 5 in cabinet.

So yet another justice secretary. 11th in 9 years. Justice system is completely broken. If this government is serious about crime the next person in the job will have a lot of work to do. I suspect they won't do anything though, govt just doesn't care about justice.

This was without doubt the best piece of drama I have ever seen. Tender handling of utterly brutal subject matter, with absolutely nothing gratuitous. Not one even slightly weak performance, the speediest 3hrs 40mins of my life. Compelling in every way #ALittleLife

As Jim Royle might say, 3 stars my arse. A Little Life review – James Norton’s sexually abused lawyer is spared no misery

Some called it torture porn, others a masterpiece. Ivo van Hove brings Hanya Yanagihara’s novel to the West End, complete with spurting blood, relentless sadism and not a little nudity

Oh @Keir_Starmer why are you doing this? Of all politicians, you know that promising “toughness” is the most vacuous stance on crime. Meaningless when the system cannot properly investigate, prosecute, safely detain, rehabilitate or supervise 🤷🏻♀️ So depressing.
For victims of fraud, the consequences can be devastating. @EmilyThornberry sets out how Labour would introduce tougher measures to protect people from scam calls made from overseas. https://t.co/qTiQcMuvGf

Great thread @volewriter . It really is astounding/infuriating/depressing how this is still happening almost a quarter of the way through the 21st Century. #everydaysexism in plain sight. Sort it out @marksandspencer

Have asked for help from @Kent_cc social services, but they have a 6-week response time. We need to discuss her progress, such as it is, and medication options to potentially improve her cognition. Sure @RishiSunak’s parents are proud 👍🏻🤦🏻♀️

He is freelance and is taking today off a big, time sensitive, project to sit at the surgery. Two other local surgeries have nothing but reviews saying, “NO ONE EVER ANSWERS THE PHONE & IF YOU GO IN PERSON THERE ARE NO APPTS!!!!” Might not be 100% true, but not a risk we can take

This practice is so over subscribed that it releases any spots for new patients by physically handing out registration forms at 6pm each Tuesday. He naively turned up at 5.30pm last week to be told the new patient queue had started at noon. So hope if he’s there by 10…. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Just reminded my other half to take his packed lunch with him as he heads out for a day of queuing at what appears to be the only competent local GP practice. He desperately needs a competent new GP for his 88-yr old Mum who had a stroke last month and is very frail.

Is there a Heathrow meltdown this afternoon @British_Airways @HeathrowAirport? Touched down 90 mins ago. Waited ages to park. Waited ages for jetway. Still no signs of luggage. And of course no info or explanation. Gargantuan queue for baggage services. Update needed!
