Arco, one of the biggest PPE suppliers in Europe, who have been providing for the NHS for 48 years. They pay their tax, employ 1,600 people who also pay their tax. Nobody hides their money in the Cayman Islands. But they were overlooked in the pandemic for the likes of Mone’s MedPro. Disgraceful!

If I want to remember what we can be, how it can feel to live in the country I watch this. Cameron and the Tories took this and all the possibilities we and future generations had away from us. I will never forgive or forget. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4As0...

I'm going to track down as many of you as I can. Please could people repost me, so others can see I am here - and I can find them, and them me. Blue skies, herds of unicorns and sunlit uplands beckon. Oh...and another two Tory candidates bite the dust, I understand 👍👍👍

Someone told me that this app may seem very empty because of this default setting that requires replies to have 2 likes or more before they show up. Indeed! I changed it so that all replies show up, and suddenly the place seems much more lively. I highly recommend changing it in your settings.
