If you know a disabled or elderly person who’s living alone and/or in an unsafe situation… check on them. Reach out just to say “hey someone is thinking about you” Especially if there’s extreme weather or any kind of emergency - we need to make sure people aren’t forgotten

This is a person who Kemi Badenoch thinks should sit in the House of Lords. The tweets start in 2009 - Young was 45 at the time. Appalling misogyny, casual homophobia... the lot

“Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers. The revenue per acre is too low to warrant the purchase, unless you are extremely wealthy and are avoiding inheritance tax”

yorkshirebylines.co.ukWhose land? Tax avoidance and the broken economics of British farmingNoise in the billionaire press about inheritance tax changes hides a basic fact: the non-farming rich own too much land

Why is the government not capable wiping the floor with Nigel Farage every single day like this? Alastair Campbell effortlessly destroys him over his Brexit legacy which by almost every economic and financial measure has been disastrous for the country

My direct appeal to @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social & Keir_Starmer in the light of yesterday's vote on AD. If they sincerely care about dying people, surely now they will publicly & urgently commit to properly funding our threadbare, neglected palliative care? www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

theguardian.comGood palliative care can alleviate the pain of dying – this bill means Labour must fund it | Rachel ClarkeMaking dying easier is not the solution when NHS, social and palliative care are simply not there for patients

Yes, to suspire is to utter a deep sigh. It’s all about breath, as are ‘inspire’ (to breathe life into an idea/person), ‘expire’ (breathe out), ‘perspire’ (to breathe through), ‘conspire’ (to breathe together), and ‘spirit’, because the ancients believed the spirit was breathed into the body.

Nick Turner@nickturner13.bsky.social

Is that like perspiring? so can you suspire?

Realised I don't want everything to be lost when I leave X - & here's a tweet I'd like to save for posterity. 7 years ago, curled up in bed with grief, I posted this & it went round the world, & the astounding response made me cry with gratitude. Our magnificent, battered NHS. I love you, Dad 💙
