#Sunak rewriting history...bit Orwellian:
“the attempt to portray this winter’s crisis as the result of the pandemic and not the result of more than a decade of political choices to reduce investment in the NHS and its workforce is little more than an attempt to rewrite history”
said Dr Vishal Sharma, the chair of the consultants committee at the British Medical Association Sharma.

It might sound weird but I actually believe that leaving #Twitter & joining #Mastodon made me a much better person.

Gone are the days of doom scrolling through tweets of extreme & hateful trending topics & interacting with people who seemed to be glued to an app for attention seekers.

I was one of them for some 15 years & constantly thought that I need to produce content for likes & RTs.

Mastodon feels like a combination of a Spa & a coffee house chat with kind & like minded people.

Gotta laugh or else we'll cry! Where the FCUK does 3 years of Progressive Tory government come from? Tories have been a 13 year absolute f'king disaster.
Corrupt, thieving, lying, deceiving, manipulating charlatans who couldn't even run a bath!

“Three years of a progressive Tory government being washed down the drain. Levelling up, dumped. Social care reform, dumped. Keeping young and vulnerable people safe online, watered down. A bonfire of EU leg, not happening. Sale of C4 giving back £2b reversed. Replaced with what?”

Sure it's amusing to watch McCarthy flame out, but the MAGA nuts holding his vote hostage are likely to wring more right-wing-extremist concessions from him, driving the House further into crazy territory.
This is why you don't negotiate with terrorists.
Just a reminder that this Republican shitshow is brought to you in large part by the Republicans on our stolen Supreme Court who let the GOP gerrymander itself to a majority.

I am formally letting it be known that I am willing for my name to be put forward for something called #SpeakerOfTheHouse. If elected #HouseSpeaker, I commit to finding out what it's all about. If you need my bank account details to send me donations, just let me know.

Prime Minister, before proposing to extend the burden on Sixth Formers by forcing them to study maths until they’re 18, why don’t you try improving the state education system for young people up to the age of 16, including investing in and supporting music teaching in schools…
