Two child benefit cap, disability benefit cuts, PFI, not nationalising water, deregulating finance, further privatisation of the NHS, chasing Reform narratives aren't "mistakes". They are wrong policies.

Went to jog a few laps of Thornbury Park. Got frustrated my phone wouldn't play through my ear phones.
Realised my ear phones were in my house.

Visited a family member in hospital in Cardiff today.
Offered the staff some scones, jam and cream. I'd brought loads.
Broad accented lady said only if I had a knife. Asked her to repeat her comment and realised she was actually saying only if I had enough !

Welcome to America;
where our president
is publicly
saying nice things about,
giving immunity to,
and suggesting a possible pardon for
a well-connected
child sex trafficker.
But I’m sure he’s got a good reason.

Currently in charing cross hospital trying to get my middle aged body serviced.

Ive been successfully verified as an adult by Blue Sky based on using the phone camera to habe my age estimated.

I'll continue to try and not act my age.
