Why do people invite me to white parties? Only the host looks good, everyone else looks like a microwaved sausage

Town is absolutely chocka!
A sea of colours, culture and kindness in the sun.
Don't let anyone tell you this city isn't the best in the world because it is!
P.S. Bring back the Mathew St festival. There's no excuse for it not to happen!

Just watched the last part of #TheHuntforRaoulMoat. Just heartbreaking what that vile human did to poor Christopher, Samantha and David. May he rot in hell

"Today I went out for lunch & I saw this elder lady coming from afar so I waited to hold the door for her, she was very thankful & sweet.
She then told the waitress, "table for one", so I waited & hesitated but then I walked over & said,
“I'm eating by myself too, would you like to have lunch together?" She was ecstatic! Come to find out she spent the last decade living with her mom who recently passed away & her aunt who recently was put into a nursing home, so she has been having a hard time being alone.
We had a wonderful talk, she just kept smiling & saying thank you for listening to me, which made me smile too!
By far the best decision I've made all year!!!
Her name is Delores & we’ll be having lunch every Thursday from now on."

We didn't have parties to "boost morale"
We didn't have quiz nights
We didn't have champagne
We watched our colleagues die though
We were STEEPED in death
We kept going
We had to
We kept on
So don't you DARE say your parties were "necessary" @borisjohnson
You make me sick.

In 2009 I was paid £15/hr as a pool lifeguard.
In 2023 I have a BSc, a masters, a medical degree, surgical postgrad exams and teach junior doctors.
They pay me £19.10/hr before tax.
Many operations don't take the full hour to complete.

I'm at BBC HQ in London where there is a statue of George Orwell and his words
"If Liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."
Watch the vid 🙏🏼

. @GaryLineker asked to step back from hosting a FOOTBALL show because he has a personal opinion on something important.
Let's talk RICHARD SHARP, current BBC Chairman under 2 dodgy investigations for giving Tory party £400,000 in donations and organising £800k loan for Johnson 🙄
I’m not sure when they suggested to Gary Lineker he step back from #MOTD the bbc realised it might be starting a much much bigger battle. @IanWright0 refusing to present on Saturday. In the name of solidarity
So happy everyone is finally catching up to the FACT that Sammie is a mean girl, we’ve seen it for weeks #snake #loveisland

The UK is the 6th richest country in the world, yet 1 in 4 children live in poverty.
The first mission of any government should be to end this grotesque inequality plunging millions into despair.
It’s time to wake up to the crises we face — and offer a more hopeful alternative.

Big thanks to the @easyJet pilot of EZY1806 from Reykjavik to Manchester who did a 360 fly by mid flight to make sure all passengers could see the incredible Northern Lights 🤩
