They told us Brexit would save lots of money (that would all go to the NHS). In fact it’s costing us a fortune (and constraining our ability to fund everything).

“Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone.” Lin Yutang Sometimes what we choose not to do matters just as much. What’s on your ‘I don’t need to’ list today? 🧡 #kindness #SelfCompassion #SelfCare Artwork by Simply Anxious
 A white illustrated graphic headed “I DON’T NEED TO…” in large peach coloured capital letters. Eight illustrations of women appear around the image alongside the handwritten statements: “Burn out to prove my worth”, “Explain myself to people who don’t get it!”, “Sacrifice myself to fit in”, “Carry other’s expectations”, “Hide away when I’m hurting”, “Pretend I’m okay when I’m not”, “Apologise for struggling” and “Keep pushing when I’m tired”. The illustrations include women sitting at desks and with laptops, holding a “SORRY” sign, covering their ears, sitting cross legged and sitting beside a dog. The account name “@simply_anxious” appears at the bottom. Artwork by Simply Anxious.

British Gas & Centrica profits exceed £56bn since privatisation. 43% of UK households are in fuel poverty. 120,000 people a year die in fuel poverty. Bills hiked. Industries (e.g. steel) struggle. Prime Ministers may change but no govt curbs profiteering, challenges neoliberalism.

British Gas and Centrica profits exceed £56 billion since privatisation
Centrica has added a further £497 million to its adjusted operating profits adding to the total generated since privatisation 40 years ago.

“To say yes to one thing is to say no to something else.” Stephen R. Covey Just because we can say yes doesn’t mean it’s the wisest, kindest or healthiest choice. It’s ok to say no, especially ok when it’s saying yes to ourselves. 🧡 #Boundaries #Wellbeing #Kindness #Choices Art by Katie Abey
A colourful Katie Abey illustration shows a pelican on a rainbow background with the words, “Just because you pelican doesn’t mean you pelishould.” The playful pun reminds us that having the ability to do something doesn’t automatically mean we need to. It gently encourages thoughtful choices, healthy boundaries and recognising that it’s okay not to take on everything simply because we can.

Two of the many deep bruises inflicted on me at my physio massage on Friday. My long standing physio had left suddenly and this new one was diabolical and didn’t listen. Needless to say I won’t be going back and have lodged a formal complaint. Grrrr

If the England FA were cunning they would write to FIFA today asking whether Quansah can play in the next game or does the exception only apply to American players. And publish the letter.

FIFA just effectively cancelled a US player's Red Card because Donald Trump asked them to. It's time for an end to the corrupt FIFA they are now fixing the games and disgracing the sport.
