Hello lovely Twitter followers. Because of an amazing few days with @SharphamTrust I’ve decided to have a Twitter detox for a few days / weeks / months. Who knows when I’ll be back, but I’m 99% sure I will be. In the mean time enjoy the Twittersphere without me 😉👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼😘

Replying to @DrMichaelMosley
@DrMichaelMosley just listened to your Sleep Well episode about morning light. I’ve worn transition lenses for years. Does wearing these glasses negate the benefit of morning light? Should I stumble around outside without them first thing?!

The letter has also been sent to the party Chairman Oliver Dowden. The College will await the response on behalf of their half million respected nursing (voting) members.

The Prime Minister has apologised for being caught and has not taken responsibility for what happened in Downing Street. He and the Chancellor are not delivering for Britain on many fronts including the Brexit cost of living crisis we face. They have my 0% backing.

I feel all warm thinking that the way Rishi and Johnson were expressing their solidarity with me in hospital in June 2020 was having a great big jolly. Sozz you got fined, guys. #SadFace

Having denied it several times, the kittens have admitted that they stole the poppadom but they refuse to resign. They say they've got work to do, scratching the side of the sofa and keeping the bears away. I said there aren't any bears here. They said, that's thanks to them.
