I don't have a cat.

I'm strangely jealous of all your beautiful cats

You can have a part share in mine, I have five.

Sun readers now back Labour – in common with those of every national paper except the Mail.

Can we all fit in there behind the curtain with your cat?

Loving all the cat photos and the flowers.

Hope you are OK @MrTiddlesTheCat

This is the sort of ableist vileness the Tories are stirring up. It is from the Mail so have sensitive imaged it.

Its almost as if the number of people who are ill and unable to work has nothing to do with any government policies...

Maybe if they were able to receive treatment for their conditions, they wouldn't be on long term sick.

Maybe if employers weren't interested in wringing every ounce of energy out of their employees, this wouldn't happen.

This is a direct result of conservative policies and they should hang their heads in shame.

@DuncinToffee - we're Scottish so have zero interest in the England shirt's flag Grin

How are you doing @MrTiddlesTheCat ?

Getting better every day. Thanks for asking.

It's hard being so vulnerable and dependent on other people. It really brings home that the majority of people are good, kind people at heart.

I would just like to point out that we are English and have zero interest in the England shirt's flag.

Thanks for the new thread. Last one went quickly.

Liz Truss on CNBC News has sought to clarify what she means by the deep state: "It's deep, meaning a very long way down. We know it's there but obviously not exactly what it is because it's so deep. I mean really deep. But it's dangerous and working all the time to destabilise."

Can’t imagine why nobody ever takes her seriously.

I had my final daily injection yesterday. I have a needle phobia so trying not to have a panic attack every time DH got one out has been exhausting.

Back at the hospital tomorrow for my first check.

Don't worry - the government have a plan.

To cut their disability benefits.

That'll cure them 🙄

Good luck with your check up.

Glad you're being looked after well Flowers

BIossomtoes · 24/03/2024 16:31

Sorry I can’t offer a cat. Hope my dogs will suffice.

Unbelievable that the Telegraph readership intends to vote Labour - that must be terrifying Sunak.

Glad you’re on the mend @MrTiddlesTheCat.

Oh interesting - and very annoying. I don't have any time for Truss but I don't like being misled and I don't appreciate politicians being misquoted, especially not as a deliberate slur.

I do appreciate the cat pictures and the lovely flowers brightening up the pages.
Also good to read Tiddles that you are recovering.
