"Those last four weeks of her life when she was in the hospice, I think it's odd to say, but were some of the happiest of her life."

Sir Michael Palin reflects on the care his wife received in a hospice, as he calls for more support for hospices in the budget.

Oh, it's bad. Really bad for Donald Trump, but a win for the victims as they get closer to get some level of justice. It's also really bad for the NY Times. A paper that hammered Hillary Clinton and others when they ignored what their own reporters were doing.

Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.

I agree with Clive Lewis ( as usual) . We don’t want Palantir in our lives! ID cards were NOT in Lab manifesto, so why are they being foisted on us?
No one agreed to sell their data to Palantir.
Many placed their trust in Labour + voted 4 them in 24.
In return, they betrayed us and sold our data.

If Trump is still president at the end of the month, then you have to say America has fallen. Trump, a convicted felon, found guilty of sexual assault. A man who bragged he can ‘grab them by the pussy’, who can walk into women’s changing rooms because he owns the pageant. Trump is the Epstein files.

Southern Trains running a service to London without a working accessible WC again. Stations no longer have facilities open. This isn’t a one off! Absolutely disgraceful customer service from Southern Trains.

Exactly this!
This is terrifying. What is happening is an appalling breach of trust. No one signed up to this! Likewise with Freeports and SEZ’s - the story that’s unfolding about them is terrifying too.
Did anyone sign up for that either?
'MP Clive Lewis,campaigned against #Palantir’s work with the #NHS: “Its business is DEATH and DESTRUCTION!This is NOT an organisation you want running the democratic jewel of the postwar period.”

“We DON'T TRUST them with our #HealthData,and we DON'T TRUST them to respect the values of #OurNHS.”💥

How can Trump claim he suffered significant financial & reputational damage from a BBC Panorama programme that wasn’t shown in the US Despite getting elected over 1 yr ago. How can this clip cause more reputational harm than the video Trump shared himself, where he’s shitting on the American people?
