Blimey. That’s a worry…arsenic isn’t on my Christmas treat list.
Tests carried out on a selection of counterfeit beauty products have shown that they contain harmful heavy metals including arsenic, lead and mercury. Find out how to spot the signs of a fake: https://t.co/ueJHBCzw7u

Horrific statistics
‘Official’ data from @GreyhoundBoard. We are a nation of supposed animal lovers yet we allow this to sate the appetite of gamblers. It’s an appalling stain on us as a society. #BanGreyhoundRacing #AnimalWelfare #AnimalCruelty

Have you had to take time off work/got into debt due to debilitating menopause symptoms - or even quit your job? I'm searching for case study candidates for the Times Money Mentor’s Couch to £5k campaign. Pls get in touch. #jounorequest #menopause

The energy price cap is rising by 10% - meaning a bill for a typical household paying by direct debit will be £1,717 a year - but your own bill could be very different. If you’re on a fixed tariff, you’re not affected by this rise.

Very hard to listen to - but - as you say, important to hear his testimony
I really do worry people have forgotten what Covid-19 was like for NHS staff. I went onto ICU wards and saw it myself. I spoke to staff broken by relentless death. @Kevin_Fong testimony @covidinquiryuk needs to be heard:

I’ve just come back from my local vets. Two men found and dropped off a stray dog (a young puppy) who was just being taken in. The vet said that all but one of the dogs they currently had in their care were strays - pretty shocking,

It’s #ThriftyThursday @gmb today. Send in your questions for @MartinSLewis on pension credit and whether you should fix or switch your energy company ahead of the price rise next week.

Glad it’s not just me, then! I have apologised to the dishwasher before but I have several appliances I’ve yet to say ‘sorry’ to. I intend to do this, obviously…
@Sarah_Pennells Manners with appliances are important. So far this morning I've thanked the kettle and apologised to the shower for letting out a little yelp when the water was cold

So, I’ve apologised to the bathroom fan for switching it off by mistake and it’s not even 8 o’clock. Anyone else apologised to their appliances or if it just me?!

Greyhound racing should and will be banned. What other sport kills more than 100 of its athletes per year? No excuse for this horror and no apologist can make this right. This 'sport' is not sporting and has no future in the UK
