I do my best not to come on social platforms to preach. I understand I have a blessed life. I sincerely do not make this request to further a celeb reputation for caring. We need our @NHS in all our lives. Folk matter. Don't RT for me, please do so for us all, thanks x 💙

Watch this heartfelt video from the one and only Johnny Vegas: "Please, I implore you... to protect our NHS from commercial interests... It was set up for a reason - and it's because we matter". Please RT and go to yournhsneedsyou.com to take our 5 actions! #YourNHSNeedsYou

That bit at the end of #Marr where Brian Cox, who in 1997 narrated Labour’s videos, tells Starmer he can’t vote for Labour. Evoked such a limp, beta-male response from Starmer. Blair or Brown would have made a case to him right there on the sofa. Such a weak willed leader.


Thousands of NHS staff currently have nowhere suitable to get changed for work, eat lunch, rest, or sleep (which is vital when on call). Please sign this petition if you think they deserve better: actionstorm.org/petitions/help… @action_storm

Clear message, devastatingly articulate attack on the Tories. Well done Gary, puts every keynote speech at the Labour conference to shame. This is not the sound of trying to please the Murdoch press or playing word games, this is the sound of opposition.

Conspiracy theorist, anti-vaxxer and struck-off nurse Kate Shemirani is here literally threatening NHS doctors with the noose. I believe she is inciting hatred and would be grateful @metpoliceuk if you could please investigate. Please RT if you agree.

Word of the day is 'pish-monger', 17th century: one who treats others with scornful contempt (as if constantly uttering a dismissive 'pish!').

RT if you agree with the legend that is @andy_murray 👇🏻 “A 1% pay rise? It was pathetic. So, yeah, they obviously deserve a lot more than that. They have done an amazing job getting us through the pandemic.” Thank you Andy and congratulations!

Happy #EuropeDay. Friends across Europe know that Scotland rejected Brexit and just elected a majority Scottish Parliament backing a referendum on independence in Europe. #EuropeDay2021 #Scotland

Frustrating to see creative roles disproportionately filled by the privileged, who can develop their talent - and worldview - insulated from the economic pressures that drive out working-class counterparts.

A new survey of the UK screen industries workforce has found that: • 53% are from a privileged background • That figure rises to 61% for creative roles (writers, directors, producers) • 25% are from a working class background Full details: bit.ly/3dFuJ2r
