I was told on the 12 Aug that my 6th mth CT scan showed a tumour on my spine and 2 lung nodes that had grown in size.I was referred to Christies and another scan. I was told today that the spine was a harmless hemangioma and my lung nodes are not cancer and both had shrunk. Cancer free! #FuckCancer

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Burnham: "I cannot say to you truthfully that where we are is good enough. Brexit has done more harm than good. We need to restore a higher level of growth and prosperity for Britain." Britain needs EU membership - only then will we have the growth that our country needs.

Sustained economic growth can’t be achieved without a major boost to the purchasing power of the bottom 50% of the UK population. The govt can do so immediately by increasing income tax-free personal allowance by £3,000. All it needs to do is to end subsidies to commercial banks.

This is how the Chancellor can increase the personal allowance and lift millions out of hardship

When roots of corruption are ignored, lazy policing kicks in and authorities wait for a neat media sting to hand them evidence instead of doing the hard work of investigating complex corruption. That’s the steep price of being right too early and democracy is the price we pay. #Brexit
