This shows that
#stephenbradshaw
is a totally incompetent jobsworth as well as being a vile, nasty bully.
Looking at the transcripts of his interviews, and news clips of him at the
#PostOffceScandal
enquiry, this man belongs behind bars.
I agree wholeheartedly with
@piersmorgan
on
@GMB
about the selfishness of people whinging about losing their holidays in the
#coronavirus
crisis.
We’ve cancelled our two remaining holidays this year, as, like Piers, we feel everyone’s health is more important than our enjoyment.
@GMB
What we learned from that stupid man is that
@oxfamgb
will lose donations as a result of wasting money in this way.
No wonder he refused to say how much the guide cost. He was too ashamed.
It’s tragic that much-needed charities fall prey to this stupidity.

@Conservatives
I don’t think when you were born counts in this argument. I was born in the 50s and have compassion for my fellow human beings.
Perhaps they knocked that out of you at school.

said: She took so much time saying she was leaving, that she had time to answer the question 🤣🤣🤣.
Mind you, it’s one way of ducking the issue when backed into a corner.
@GaryLineker
Very diplomatic, Gary.
But as this whole episode was instigated by the BBC’s lack of impartiality when they bowed to Government pressure, Davie and the Chairman both need to resign.
Too many top roles are held by Tories.
Only then can the BBC claim to be anywhere near impartial.
@JuliaHB1
@RishiSunak
Because people are seeing the bigger picture of senior politicians believing the rules don’t apply to them. That’s the real trend here. Big or small - tax avoidance, seat belts, partying - the trend of illegality from our Government continues.

’s Doctor would be amazing to write for.
This Doctor has so many stories just waiting to be told.
Having watched

since the very first episode in 1963 and not missed one since, I’ve never been more stunned since ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Alfie’s flying with the angels now 💔💔💔.
He sat on my hand and I told him how much Susie B and I loved him, and what a wonderful 5 years we’d had with him being part of our family.
R.I.P. Alfie, you dear little soul 💔💔💔💔💔xxxxxxx

Maybe that's my problem...I'm renowned for being compassionate and caring towards everyone. Perhaps I need to toughen up a little.
@Helenmarchant9
Absolutely. It stems back to the days when a knight always kept his sword on the left side of his body so he could draw it quickly with his right hand.
As time progressed, a gentleman being on the outside of a pavement became the norm. Not sure today’s youngsters understand.

Nurses paid to stay at home?
Paramedics paid to stay at home? Postal delivery workers paid to stay at home?
They’re not only striking over pay, they’re battling to save the NHS and Royal Mail as we know them. Have you seen Thompson’s detailed plans for Royal Mail?
Neil Parish, the MP who was caught watching porn in the House of Commons, went on GB News earlier this week to discuss... the MP who was caught watching porn in the House of Commons
?
This is just the most amazing TV interview I’ve ever seen. So moving. What a wonderful man

Even

Parliament must now be recalled so Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak can give their resignation statements, and MPs can hold this Tory government to account.

@Ryanair
Shame on you, Alejandra, for being a regular Ryanair customer (🤣only joking!!).
I used to be a regular flyer with Ryanair until they treated me badly earlier this year. I will never EVER fly with them again. They're disgraceful, disgusting and despicable.
So I get my Twitter balloons today.
They say growing old is a curse. But with so many people dying much younger than me - particularly in this COVID era - I consider reaching my 65th birthday to be a blessing.
@QprEver
Her mistake was expressing her opinion with the words scum, vile, and nasty.
She should have stuck to the facts: homophobic, racist, and misogynistic.
No-one can argue with the facts, while opinions are debatable
I'm afraid I have some very sad news for the

over the last few days. Rang Doctor 12.05 pm Friday. Saw him 12.20. Was in hospital as emergency admission at 3.00 pm. Scan on Saturday morning. Diagnosis made Saturday afternoon. Six month treatment plan arranged Sunday, and discharged Sunday night. Brilliant
Thank you everyone, for your kind words about Bertie.
It looks like he had a stroke. I’m going to bury him in the garden this morning with his favourite toy - Mr Penguin, which he broke so many times.
I’ll reply to you all individually when I’ve done it.
R.I.P.

The Tory-voting public clearly don’t support the strikes. You’d be right there. But I’m talking about people who don’t subscribe to the “I’m alright, Jack” ethos.

@MissBowdenEng
Not essential for NHS workers to have fuel!!!! That has to be the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.
So Nicholas, you’re saying it’s not essential for ICU doctors and nurses to look after patients, or a cancer surgeon to get into the operating theatre to save someone’s life?

In my view, a good ward Councillor is one who's more interested in local people than party policitcs. Hope you're in that category, Peter.
I’m proud to say I’m the author of hardbacks, paperbacks, ebooks, large print, pocketbook and

This is what Leicester’s
@PukaarMagazine
says about me:
“It will only be a matter of time before we see another fantastic read from this talented and imaginative soul of Leicestershire.”
Very true. Currently working on my first book since 2018.
My COVID test has come back negative!
Thank you to everyone who has wished me well during the wait. I will be contacting you individually later this evening.
I loved looking after George by myself for the first time today! It’ll happen regularly when my daughter goes back to work, on the days Susie B’s working.

Our last guests have just left. Clear-up time, lol, so we’ll be ready to do it for seven again tomorrow.
What a lovely Christmas Day. George’s first Christmas, and after the trauma of first few days on this Earth, his presence with us was a blessing, and the best gift to us all.

I do sympathise, Nicky. Now you’ve shown that you don’t want
#brexit
and would vote to remain if there were a second referendum l, it must be so hard to put your own career interests ahead of the interests of the country.
Your dilemma is not one I envy. But I know what I’d do.
“If you thought the horror was over at the end of In Shadows Waiting, think again. Stewart Bint’s stunning sequel, When God’s Wind Blows, is scheduled for Spring 2023.
“This paranormal crime thriller with a COVID backdrop shows how grief and love can affect one man’s sanity.”
Drum roll, please.
I can now unveil the spectacular cover my publisher has created for my forthcoming novel, When God’s Wind Blows.
This paranormal crime thriller is set against the backdrop of COVID and Long COVID, and is the sequel to my 2015 novel, In Shadows Waiting.
@SarahJaneHunti1
I was told the same, many years ago...and stopped chasing my dream, until a friend persuaded me to try and get my work published.
My first novella appeared when I was 56. Now, eight years later I have four novels and a short story collection published. Keep chasing that dream!
Apologies to my followers for my tweets having been almost entirely devoted to Alfie for the last few days (and to those who may have unfollowed me as a result). But you know just how much this little fella means to Susie B and me, and it’s very distressing to see him so sick.
Hotfoot it to my Amazon author page or website to find out what my books are all about.
Paranormal, horror, sci-fi, humour...you name it, it’s all there.
Follow this thread for a little hint of them all.
I’ve killed quite a few people, met Hitler’s son, crashed a jet fighter, been to hell (which is freezing because the boilermen are on strike), and been with a time traveller who had dinner with his Mum when she was pregnant with him.
Yep. It’s fun being a novelist.
The winner of our Short Story Competition is Stewart Bint with his entry ‘Second Time Round’
CONGRATULATIONS

I will message you tomorrow evening in regards to your prize! And I will be posting your story onto the blog this week along with our runner up!
As well as it being Charlotte & Andy’s first wedding anniversary today, they now have their own little baby boy, George - our first grandchild - who is now nearly three weeks old. Happy wedding anniversary to both of you and enjoy your special day as a family 🥂🎉❤️ xxxxx

Merry Christmas to all my followers who celebrate it.
And a happy holiday season to everyone who doesn’t.
Let’s hope the final month of this annus horribilis is a safe and peaceful pathway towards a brighter 2021 for us all.
Is anyone else having issues with Twitter’s search function? Everything I put in the search box results in the message: “Tweets aren’t loading right now.”
I really don’t have the heart or stomach to carry on with Twitter as I have been.
My account is about positivity, support and encouragement. But there are some truly nasty and despicable people on here who lie, and twist things for their own dirty agenda.
They should be ashamed
My Dad died in May 1967, when I was 11, and he was 65.
Today would have been his 119th birthday.
You’ve been resting in peace all these years, Dad. Still miss you, and wish I’d known you better and longer.
