Why are we even entertaining the idea that we should pay for covid tests? When was the last time you paid for any test? Chlamydia, HIV, blood test, x-ray? No never. Conditioning us for more paid healthcare...

The UK govt has ripped us out of the Erasmus scheme, and are creating one of their own called the 'Turing Scheme' named after Alan Turing. The UK chemically castrated Alan Turing for being gay and he killed himself And now they steal his name for some shoddy Brexit scheme.

One thing I don’t think a lot of British people realise is that all the 🇬🇧 Union Flags have been taken off every single EasyJet plane and replaced with a 🇦🇹. EasyJet has re-registered as an Austrian business, to avoid leaving the EU. What will the UK be left with?

What is so annoying is that it takes just as long to say "WHS" out loud as "WHSmith". And so everyone usually calls it "Smith's for short. Which is the bit they've taken out of the branding. Terrible decision. (Before you even get to fact that it looks too much like NHS!)

@KirstieMAllsopp @MirrorPolitics Honestly read the room Kirstie. The nation is really fed up of being lectured, patronised and talked down to on economic matters by wasteful Tories with no discernible skills. I'd have kept out of this one. (And Tory faux outrage when criticised is equally part of the problem.)

Why is the 2017 result not helpful in this election? If you used a 2017 market research report to plan your business you'd still think everyone was booking holidays from Thomas Cook, buying their Christmas presents at ToysR'Us, and picking up electricals from Maplin.

I don't think people who aren't LGBT+ realise that this sort of thing is now happening to everyone we know, every week. I first came out as a teenager, back in the 2000s. This didn't happen anywhere near as much in Central London as it is now in 2024. And definitely not in Soho.

@_ryancus A ‘fraction’ yes. Currently about 40%! Given that only one was Austrian-registered in July 2017 and now 113 are, and this is a rolling process, I’d say my point remains very legitimate and important. The flag is symbolic but this issue is political. It’s good for people to know.
