Bye Twitter. Sad to part ways but you are too toxic for me. Blue skies all the way now. #ex-x

Was there anyone more beautiful than Rod Stewart in 1977?

I will do the same. Not that it'll make a difference, except to me.

When Johnson announced his "40 hospitals", he only provided enough funding for 6.

So Labour were bequeathed an unfunded promise of 34 hospitals. They're not cancelling anything, if the original "plans" included no money

Revealing contrast on The Graham Norton show tonight between the idiocracy and a cultured other world. A very stark contrast indeed.

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza.

We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled.

This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.

FIFA is no longer a legitimate organisation, its competitions can no longer be considered legitimate. I am saddened to continue my personal boycott.

I believe that it is our duty, as world citizens, to deny tr*mp the oxygen of publicity that he so desperately craves, and also to insist that US citizens remain in their own bubbles until they prove themselves capable of resolving their immense issues and joining us.

Thank you. That was beautifully easy and a great list.

I am genuinely terrified. What have they done? How is this possible? Are people, even 50% of people, really this hateful?

Waking up to the gut-wrenchingly terrible news that people aren’t better than you fear, that hate can win and can pitch us all into darkness. God, America. What have you done?

God help us all.

Farewell Janey Godley. Funny right to the end. #RIPJaney

Future pandemic as big as Covid is inevitable, says Whitty England’s chief medical officer also tells inquiry that UK’s low level of intensive care provision is a political decision

It's worth reminding people who opposed the C19 lockdowns in the UK how much worse things would have been without them. The NHS was overwhelmed, people were dying at horrendous rates. Lockdown came too late but, even so, saved many lives. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024... 🧵

Morning Bluesky!

It is! Good work.

Bluesky seems much happier than Xitter, I'm very glad to be here.

And here:

Never be scared to mention Brexit. It did make everything immeasurably worse. It did make the country poorer. It was an absolutely ruinous act of self-harm. And you predicted it. You were right. Massively right. You probably won’t be that right again your entire life. Own that. Don’t be shy.

When politicians and media foghorns demand that we don’t talk about Brexit, I always remember these wise words from Martin Samuel (Times journalist) and pledge to honour them.
