Caveat aside take a look at this band of miscreants
/1 1. Andrew Husband - Cllr for Chester-le-Street North and Leader of County Durham CC - he's an anti-vaxxer who has also attacked the King on social media calling him a "climate cracker" he is also a conspiracy theorist /2

Highlighting the ReFUK councillors in East & West Midlands Regions for you today and check out these lovely folk - caveat this is just what is in the public domain and can be backed up with links/1 1. Alan Amos - Cllr for Bedwardine - Whilst a Tory councillor in 2016 he claimed that rape was "easy to report" and should not be recorded as an offence /2 itv.com/news/2016-09-1…

As part of #EDSAwarenessMonth I am sharing a little of my own experience with this often invisible condition.
Today I am going to share a little about the gynae issues, pregnancy and labour and the aftermath
If you are squeamish at all please skip this thread /1 Back in 2005 when I fell pregnant I hadn’t heard of EDS. My biggest worry was what if anything labour would do to my seizures could I still take my medication while pregnant ? (- I wont go into details about the potential issues surrounding my epilepsy and childbirth here) /2

Myths and Facts about EDS

Myth #1: The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are ‘just stretchy skin.’
Reality: The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are a group of hereditary disorders of connective tissue. /1 Connective tissue is found all over the body, in skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments, blood vessels, organs, gums, eyes, and so on. /2

To the tune of We Didn't Start the Fire I give you the latest parody. With some serious artistic license, not in any chronological order and credit for the first two verses and the chorus going to @HutchPopperson
This is We Didn't want the liars 👇#ALtLyricsParodyCrew Boris Johnson, Mad Nads, mystery daughter, Bojo’s Dad
Social media, Daily Mail, smelly people go to jail.
David Cameron, Michael Gove, pigs heads, grams of blow.
North London, South London, are apparently “no go”.

In light of Gillian Keegan's rant yesterday I thought I'd collate a list of things the Tories have done a "fucking good job" at
Please feel free to add to it

The importance of the ECHR a thread
The ECHR was set up in the wake of WW2 and the Holocaust. The UK was integral to the ECHR with British Lawyers drafting large sections of it and Winston Churchill being a vociferous advocate for it. /1 The ECHR was a BRITISH idea and drafted by BRITISH Lawyers to protect citizens from abuses of state. /2

Written for the wonderful @AugustaLees
To the tune of D.I.S.C.O
I give you R.I.C.O.D an ode to the orange one R.I.C.O.D

For any fans of Boney M I apologise now...
You see inspiration struck yesterday so I did a thing. To the tune of Rasputin - an ode to DJT There lived a certain man in DC long ago
He was big and round and he had an orange glow
Most people looked at him with horror and disgust
But to Maga chicks he was lovely and robust

Clearsprings Ready Homes Ltd has a gov contract worth £1billion to provide housing for refugees and asylum seekers for the Home Office in Wales and S England which is due to expire in 2029. But who are they?
Please note it's not in order or likely complete
A thread /1 Clearsprings Ltd have been providing “ready to move in” homes for central and local government since 2000 (more on this later) /2

Please note this is by no means complete.
A cursive google search will bring up more than I can fit into a tweet. All of this was taken from the public domain.
I give you some of the New Cons a thread /1
#NewCons This is Gareth Bacon. In 2023 he caused outrage when suggesting that people using foodbanks should look at how they “manage their personal finances”. He also signed a letter that referred to far-right antisemitic conspiracy theory “cultural marxism”. He is MP for Orpington /2

In light of Anne Widdecombe’s abhorrent comments and the rise of food poverty I feel it necessary to have an open honest discussion about malnourishment in early years and the affect it can have. #FoodPoverty a thread /1 Please do not mistake this. I am not looking for anyone’s sympathy the events happened along time ago I am using my own experience to raise awareness of the wider issue at hand. /2

We hear a lot of people banging on about "Free Speech/Freedom of Speech". This is a misnomer we do NOT have Free Speech in this country nor do we have "Freedom of Speech" per se. We have Freedom of Expression. /1 It is not an absolute right and never has been. Freedom of Expression is part of the Human Rights Act 1998 and is subject to a number of restrictions under law.
Moreover it is important to understand that Freedom of Expression does not mean Freedom from consequence /2

Return of the Mack you say? I think I rather prefer this version. Mark Morrison has nothing on me. This is Return of the Tax

We need to talk about Long Covid a 🧵 #LongCovidAwarenessDay #LongCovidAwareness In January 2021 my partner caught covid. It was a little under 2 weeks before his 43rd Birthday. This was a month or so after the first vaccination was rolled out but he was not in the age bracket for it so hadn’t had one. /1

Please note this is by no means complete and only based on what I could find in the public domain also not in order
Stanley Johnson A 🧵/1
#BlockHisKnighthood #NoKnighthoodForDomesticAbusers #JohnsonsNepotismDishonourList #GetTheseToriesOut #ToriesOut In an Biography he was accused of DV by his ex-wife Charlotte Fawcett. He claims it was “only once” . He hit her so hard he broke her nose and she was hospitalised. The book claims he was violent on multiple occasions over many years /2
