It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 7 years, since 10 May 2015 (via @[email protected]).
At-onement

#Alevels #AlevelResultsDay2022 You will be okay. You are enough. You are loved
I'm just tired of this echo chamber that doesn't seem to achieve anything tangible. Those few of you who know me in real life know where I can be found in the unlikely event that you want me.
Sorry for being down - I'm okay in myself, really. Wishing you all well.
My #writing pitches fall into a black hole, and the same half a dozen people respond to my tweets (and I am grateful to them) despite #fbf and #socialistsunday efforts.
All in all, I'm utterly disenchanted with everything beyond my four walls, so I'm taking a #Twitter break.
Neither @[email protected] nor @[email protected] are going to shift from the paltry pay "rises" to public sector workers, least of all #NHS #nurses - they know we have a sense of duty. Our union is too 'apolitical' to call for a strike. Even @[email protected] now frowns on industrial action.
IMO @[email protected] and @[email protected] are no improvement on Johnson and I have little hope of 10 gammons in the Home Counties choosing the lesser of two evils.
Brexit is a disaster.
The Tories are not going to do anything to alleviate the #CostOfLivingCrisis - why would they?
