An absolutely astonishing sum of money… mostly wasted.

Tories wasted £131bn in 5 years. Here's how it could've been spent
The Conservative government wasted money on Test and Trace, Covid PPE contracts, and post-Brexit border checks. We've put it to better use.

I managed a whole new level of brain fog this evening. I bought tickets for a show at the theatre for 17/9 next year. Went to pop the info in my diary and noticed that I’d already booked tickets for the same show on the 20/9. 🤦🏻‍♀️ #pwME

Slightly depressing session with the #ME/CFS clinic today. They say I'm doing really well with my 'pacing'. So I asked why am I not getting any better then? The response I got (to paraphrase) ... I need to adjust my expectations of what 'better' looks like. Its shattered the little hope that I had.

Well T3 Special Assistance at #Heathrow Airport leaves a lot to be desired!! Wheelchair left bloody miles away from the jet bridge! 🤬

Today I discovered how difficult and uncomfortable a city break is when using a wheelchair. In pretty much freezing temperatures, with melting snow dripping off of high buildings and a distinct lack of drop kerbs where you need them, the day was cut short and 3 hour nap needed. 🥶 #mecfs

Going away for a weekend break is now far more complicated than it was before ME/CFS. I’ve been packing for days, doing a little bit at a time and I’m now absolutely shattered before we even travel! I’ll probably end up sleeping for most of the time away. 🙄

This… ⬇️
I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...”

...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

Certainly worth a follow… 🇪🇺
Okay, seriously, we're at 9.4K.

Can you help us get to 10K by lunchtime?

My boss would go ballistic if we managed it.

Please and thanks. 🇪🇺

‘In total, some 9,400 people with no legal right to be in the UK have been returned to their home countries since Labour took office, with nearly 2,600 forced deportations - an increase of 19% compared to 2023.’

Bet most MSM won’t cover this.
