A government 'communications playbook' has ordered NHS trusts to describe new-build wings and refurbishments as 'new hospitals'. Please RT if you think everyone should be aware of this latest deceit. hsj.co.uk/acute-care/dhsc-pl…

Instead of making offenders wear high viz jackets in chain gangs, how about helping them get a real job instead? In my shops we employ lots of ex offenders and they wear a shirt and tie. Same people, different approach, a much better outcome.

This is the French President trying to keep his temper at what we in Britain know - Johnson betrayed May’s backstop solution and his pretence now that the result of the deal he signed was unexpected is a straight lie. It was his cynical route to power. A breathtaking video clip.
So I just subtitled exactly, word for word, what Macron said about sovereignty and Johnson - and not the mangled version you might get in the UK media (or from certain UK politicians) 😀

We don’t need a Royal Yacht. We need to care for people living in poverty, and fund the NHS properly. RT if you agree🌟

Sadly, we don’t always know the depths of someone’s depression until it is too late. May I please have even 1 follower copy and re-post? I am trying to demonstrate that someone is listening

Matt Hancock - I'm really glad that we can send out free school meals when schools are out. Piers Morgan - If you're that glad... why did you vote against giving free school meals? #GMB

Devastating news. Another 1162 deaths from Covid. The unimaginable - and, at least in part, unnecessary - suffering behind that statistic. Because @BorisJohnson chose popularity & procrastination & denial above doing the right thing. I’m incandescent 😔

NEW: a common response to reports of hospitals struggling this winter is "it’s no different to a bad flu season!" I’ve tracked down historical data on flu ICU admissions, including winter 2017-18, a record high. Here’s how England’s Covid winter compares to a bad flu season 📹

Dear @BBCNews, No, the UK has not "maxxed out" its credit card 💳 We invite you to watch this video to learn how public finances really work. Share if you think reporters should be educated in basic economics 👇

Johnson says he's "moved on" after the Cummings affair. Retweet if you have not.

Replying to @FinolaK
I doubt he’s much of a ‘trade expert’ anyway.
