£1.8bn sounds like a lot of money. But the NHS actually has a backlog of around £6bn of repairs or replacements that need carrying out. Please RT if you won’t fall for the spin and help raise awareness of ongoing underfunding by this government. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-4…

The bar scene in the north of the country is thriving – so much so that we dedicated our spring issue's cover to the people making it happen. Read the feature by @LauFoster here to learn why the north is such a powerhouse (as if you needed telling!) 🔥 bit.ly/2HT6SfO

This beautiful video is something you’d hope to see from @UKLabour. But it’s not Labour. It’s @MagicMagid standing for @TheGreenParty in the European elections. A lot of red votes could go green this month. xitter.cf/MagicMagid/status/1125…

Each month at Imbibe HQ, a plethora of bottles and books cross our desks. From Cornish wine to lunar-inspired cocktails, here's what our editors are loving at the moment. bit.ly/2J8XQMT @ChrisLosh @LauFoster @milliemilliken @jacopo_mazzeo @katemalczewski

It’s disheartening to think that someone who wants to replace the NHS with private health insurance has over 1.2 million followers and we have yet to make 400k Please follow and RT to help change this theguardian.com/politics/201…

Last night, we bid farewell to famed cocktail bar Dandelyan as it closed its doors to transform into Lyaness. Today, @LauFoster took a look at the heady mix of luxury and accessibility that made the bar so damn successful... bit.ly/2JmFud0 @SeaContainers_ @mrlyan

Today I’m off to the march for a second Brexit vote. To those who want to shout ‘but we’ve already had a vote’ let me mansplain shamelessly: democracy is not a set of end results. It’s a process. That’s why we get to change the government every five years 1/

When May was Home Secretary she put children in detention centres too. UK is only the country in the EU with cruel practice of indefinite detention. Her silence about Trump’s cruelty speaks volumes as she refuses to end the pernicious hostile environment. independent.co.uk/news/uk/cr…

This isn’t over. Thousands of kids have been ripped from their parents with no plan to reunite them. And now @realdonaldtrump wants to create new detention camps for families. Separating kids is unacceptable – but indefinite imprisonment of families is still cruel & inhumane.
