I ride motorbikes and cycle a lot. Retired & squeezing the pips out of life. Growing old is inevitable growing up is optional.

At last, we have a cure for all! Ailments large and ailments small, Good health is not beyond my reach, If I inject myself with bleach. Radiant, I’ll prance along, Every trace of limescale gone, With disinfectant as my friend, Like him, I’m clean around the bend.

Normal party politics is suspended in Britain tonight. All people of good will hope for the Prime Minister’s speed recovery. He is in good NHS hands.

As we are waking this Saturday morning please adhere to the Governement recommendations. ROI have introduced a limit on distance and do we want to go down that route too? Ride sensibly #UKCycleChat

Panic buying is a symptom of a dysfunctional society diseased with individualism To those with litres of soap at home- do you realise that to slow the transmission of COVID-19 you need other people to be cleaning their hands too?! A fortress of toilet paper will not protect you

So when Johnson said 'F**k business', it appears to be a rare example of a promise he really means to keep. ft.com/content/ca2a67a8-56fe… via @financialtimes

The Tories have slashed fire and rescue funding, bungled #flood defences, and refused to recognise in law the role of firefighters and control staff in responding to these emergencies. Boris Johnson should be ashamed #flooding #floodaware lght.ly/b1feml8

Sarah Vine’s husband Tory MP Michael Gove’s made MPs expense claims for a £331 armchair, £134 for a pair of elephant lamps & £493 for a Manchu cabinet, all purchased from a shop owned by David Cameron’s mother-in-law. They’re all in it together. Please share #Marr

“They are willing to give up free trade with 27 European countries and 40 other countries around the world. It’s already costing them more than their entire membership fees over the past 47 years. And all they want back in return is blue passports that are made in France.”

It’s believed nine Russian business people who gave money to Conservative Party are named in report into Russian interference in UK politics suppressed by Boris Johnson before election. Let’s RT this to a million people & let him know we haven’t forgotten
