@alexhern help!(please). My Threads account drives me nuts. Occasionally I can post, read replies, reposts etc. Most times I get an error message. I use iPhone 14 - can’t understand why it’s so hit & miss. Any suggestions, please?

At this point I can only deduce that the government are intentionally hiding away until the next wave of strikes to try and pin what is occurring in the NHS just now on striking workers 🤔

We see you! The public do too!

Rishi Sunak will say today that we need to "reimagine our approach to numeracy".

Here's how he's reimagined it in the past.

I've been following the build up and war daily for well over a year and I will never get used to the fact that a major European country and its capital is under weekly massive assault with cruise missiles and strategic bombers to disable its basic infrastructure like heat and power in a war overtly attempting colonialist conquest.

I have watched in dismay the managed deterioration of the #NHS and public services.

The consequences for the UK aren't, in my view, about private healthcare or not, they are about whether there will be any healthcare at all for all but the rich.

Lols from the birdy place!

Great to see our #CumbrianCoalMine protest making the national press today:

"[It's] a really dangerous thing to be doing at this time... we need to be acting at pace to reduce our climate emissions. This is going in the wrong direction." ~ Jill Perry from Allerdale and Copeland #GreenParty

West Cumbria coal mine protest held at proposed Whitehaven site

Dozens of people gather to protest against the proposed mine site near Whitehaven.

BBC News
Britain's workers are not striking to make it difficult to reach loved ones at Christmas.
They're not striking so your nan suffers if she has a fall.
They're striking because they don't want those things to happen and they don't have the resources to stop them.

Removing charitable status from private schools would raise £1,700,000,000.

That's almost twice what's needed to fund my #FreeSchoolMealsForAll Bill, giving all primary school pupils a healthy meal every day.

Should we protect private school tax breaks or feed hungry kids? 🤔
