Just kicking back after having major surgery on my spine!

Had been in pain and off work on benefits, waiting for an operation for over a year.

That's a wasted year of my life and a waste of tax payer's money.

Can't wait to rebuild my life and #GetTheToriesOut

When I'm a little better, I'm going to tell my story.

Yes, Pauline. That's what's going to happen.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of our politics:

1. Break up corporate monopolies

2. Build union power

3. Unrig the campaign finance system

Let’s keep working to unrig the system in the year ahead.

Is No 10 preparing the ground for another scandal?

I'm quietly optimistic that this will solve everything 😂❤️

(I'm posting this because I love Kate Bush but also because the grandiosity of the article title, which she didn't write, made me laugh.)

Kate Bush calls for end of war in Ukraine and voices support for striking NHS nurses

In her annual Christmas message, posted on her website, the musician also commented on the death of the Queen and the resurgence of her 1985 single Running Up That Hill

I have a life threatening health condition that can require the immediate attention of #ambulance crews. I would be considered a category 1 emergency which is being given priority. But, I've told my husband that if I die because an ambulance cannot get to me, he is not to blame the #nhsstrikes, he is to blame the #tories and their incompetence. Point the finger at the right villain. The #tory govt would rather you died than pay those who save us. I stand firmly with the #NHS & it's workers ✊💙✊

“Paying prisoners money to destroy stuff we never needed but bought for billions from ministers’ friends feels like a Mafia TV series plot. In fact, it’s just everyday life in the UK under this government.” Jolyon Maugham, Good Law Project

Lags paid £3.50 a day to bin Covid tests and PPE bought with taxpayers' money

The Government has been accused of using prisoners to hide its tracks with inmates dismantling PPE including test kits, some of which are reportedly still in date, masks and full body hazmat suits

Happy solstice Tooters!

This midwinter I give you images of the setting midsummer sun, from the top of Mynydd Carningli in Pembrokeshire

Happy shortest day everyone!

PPE, the VIP Lane, and multi-million pound contracts...
