A writer on a hiatus that is so long it's starting to look like a retirement. Lives with Multiple Sclerosis and has survived a stroke.
And Starmer's comment on Housing has directly led me cancel my Labour membership. I'm not on the look for a new party to support because I can't give that showers of tossers my vote

That Jack Daniels parent company has pulled out of @hrc.org's annual Corporate Equality Index is a reason every #LGBTQ Bar, Pride, festival, event should boycott Jack Daniels/Brown Forman Corp products

Farage wants to replace the NHS with U.S style insurance schemes. Americans pay twice as much per head as we do for healthcare,yet millions aren't covered. The top health insurance company in the U.S queries 1/3 of claims.1/3 of the money goes to administration. What benefits come from the switch?

Our lives, country and world in general would be so much less chaotic and frightening if more folks had listened and voted for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris instead its that simple. 👇 #Hillary #JoyfulWarriors

I had an appointment to get an Endoscope today and had never seen a ward be so busy and so many people having their issues sorted. The PM isn't popular but he is getting lists dealt with in the NHS it would seem :)

So, NHS waiting times have dropped for the 4th month in a row. I don't think I'd ever go for a pint with Starmer but he's getting the job done not that the media would ever tell you... #NHS #surviving #disability

My #positivity has returned and I'm getting stuff done! Controversial, I know, but my #disability has been the making of me! #MS

Thanks for the support yesterday. My spoons have been returned and I'm back to normal :)

I'm having a 'MS' day. Tired, grumpy, in pain, and dropping anything that can be dropped. Three consecutive days at hospital this week has drained me of spoons! Better days ahead... #disabilty #MS #spoonthepry #determination

So it looks like I jumped at the right time. Zuckerberg has thrown his cap into the ring with the right ring MAGA idiots. Glad I cancelled my account before this was announced #facebook #meta #right-wing #notme

I've just deleted my Facebook account - feels like freedom lol

My plan for 2025 is going well! I'm in my new chair and my weight loss has resulted in a thinner #wheelchair
Next plan - beat the social isolation...

Now I'm back in my #wheelchair my mood has improved :) #disability still sucks but I have a pretty good life :) #optimism FTW!

So my #wheelchair was returned and, true to the word, the motors both work. Unfortunately they managed to smash one of the hangers and that means a foot rest swings uncontrollably - another repair call to lodge but at least I got to go to a Christmas market today. #disability

The saga continues... I "should" be getting my chair back today. #disability #badservice
