Sure it was shit.

Yeah it cost billions and achieved sweet FA.

But at least they owned the "wokes".

I went to the library today. It is, and always has been, my favourite place.
I looked around and there was just all kinds of people in there. A true community hub 🥰

I’m writing a feasibility report on the implementation of Surgical Care Practitioners -
and in amongst my reading of govt plans I’m struggling to understand why there is a drive to recruit Physician Associates when they are so expensive - what am I missing?

As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚

A small rant: The cost of rent is beyond a joke.

£850-£900 a month rent plus bills by myself, on an nhs salary?

I’m 37 and don’t want to live with my parents or in a house share…

And the chance of saving anything for a deposit? Zero. 😮‍💨

My sister has finally started to read the Harry Potter series, having watched all the films. She just finishing the Chamber of Secrets.

So good to have someone to pick out plot holes with!

Good Grief….
Hasn’t anyone staged an intervention yet?
Liz Truss, speaking in New Delhi has said “Frankly, I think we need a British Trump. The question is who that individual might be.”

Have to say, with the limited understanding I could get from the BBC reporting…. That Māori haka in parliament was both impressive and moving. 🇳🇿

Alright so Badenoch was somehow worse today than last week?
And yet she will definitely be thinking she smashed it.
This at least has the potential to be entertaining until the Tory letters start going in…. #pmqs

Well so far this seems a much nicer place to be…..
I’ve been scrolling for a few minutes and haven’t yet felt like we are totally doomed.
This might be a winner #bluesky
