Any fundraiser looking for a mentor? My recent mentee has just moved on so I have a space. I don’t charge and I come with references @TweetRoya @calumcoker @NoraRussell

Just cannot get my head round the fact that a quarter of my fellow citizens are prepared to admit that they would still vote for a party that is totally lacking in moral or indeed any worthwhile values and has brought the country to its knees.

It's cute that we still continue to make cinema, since the art form arguably peaked in 1996 when they released the US version of 'Rumble In The Bronx' and slapped Ash's 'Kung Fu' over the end credits.

It is somewhat ironic, is it not, that Tory MPs achieved the workplace change they needed by withdrawing their labour.

Here’s why people cycling two abreast is actually better for people driving motor vehicles.
It’s quite simple really.

I mean, it’s a drag, and we’re all busy, but there’s going to need to be some kind of revolution

The Bible makes a point of telling us to believe women.
Two examples.
1) It's the women who first hear about the Resurrection of Jesus in Luke 24. They tell the men but "their words seemed *to them* like nonsense". The men look for themselves; it's clear the women were right.

Every dot on this map is a food bank.
Every dot represents amazing people doing their best to help others who have been ripped off by the economic system and abandoned by the government.
Real patriotism means looking out for everyone in society.

The key point is not that Boris Johnson received a penalty notice.
The key point is that the fine proves he has repeatedly lied to parliament about his actions during COVID.
Democracy requires - for voting for accountability - leaders who tell the truth.
He must go.

A reminder of when Boris Johnson said he was "furious" to see footage of staff joking about holding illegal parties in Downing Street.
All the while he knew he had attended them himself.

With= nothing for us without us. (Social Model/Coproduction/Co-design, Asset-based approaches)

I wonder what it’s like to read the Bible without ever having seen it as an aggressively magical user manual.
I bet it’s a riot. Parts, anyway.

Let's do something Putin will hate. Let's re-join the EU. And if that means we have to have cheaper food and fuel; the right to live, work, and retire in 31 other countries; higher environmental standards; and peace secured in NI, then that's a price I'm willing to pay.

Did you know that the benefits of reading outweigh any negatives caused by eating cake

This is disgraceful: The Trussell Trust, which just one of the food charities, reports that when the Tories came to power in 2010 the number of food parcels it handed out was 25,899. Now as 2022 starts the number is 2,537,198 - a 100-fold increase in 12 years! #JohnsonOut
