In this article, @AishaSobey evidences the extension of governance techniques through the narratives and assumptions built into smart technologies through a comparison of government and inhabitant experiences. #power #governmentality #OpenAccess https://t.co/xKEynQNtfm

[Urban Studies Journal @USJ_online]

@AishaSobey's article interrogates the notion of neutrality in #SmartCity projects and investigates the resulting rationales of the smart brand as a technology of control. #governance #PublicSpace https://t.co/VvPui6lyyg

A question to the @UKParliament, have you thought about what happens on 23rd April to the people put in danger (domestic abuse cases where a secret phone is the way out for example) by the trial noise alerts? Sure we can opt out, but what if they don't get that chance?

With the fantastic @_AccessEd, I created a course book for KS5 students on social media and wellbeing - I hope it helps some people think about the world around us differently 🤞😀 https://t.co/tM91nr8Ssz

I wish it was an April Fool's Day joke—but it's not. From April 2022, large businesses in Britain will be required to display calorie information on physical and online menus.

Read (and share) my post at https://t.co/yPGKgh5Qk8 on why I think this is a very, very risky idea.

I’m seeing a lot of commentary that Putin is playing 3D chess by supporting JK Rowling, to promote division in the West.

No: he sees trans rights as a striking example of how morally corrupt and dissolute the West is. That’s it. It’s not more complicated than that!

Let’s just ask why it is that Biden and EU leaders all so very obviously snubbed Johnson today. Could it be that they all think he’s at best untrustworthy, and at worst a friend of Russia? Could anyone blame them?

Really interesting thoughts on the future of cities from @Tim_Stonor, identifying the mental health challenge I'm exploring in my Ph.D. research! https://t.co/Dw0JzKaKqm

Thatcher once said there was no such thing as state money, it was all provided by taxpayers. But she was completely wrong. There is in fact only state-created money. When we appreciate that we might get the politics we need.

My supplier of what they tell me is wholly renewable electricity told me it’s doubling its price to me today. But the price of producing renewable electricity has not changed right now. There is in that case no reason for this. The government is simply permitting profiteering.

I try not to tweet political opinions, but as it’s my birthday allow me just one. The Tories do want to sell off the NHS. Not in one go, just bit by bit until it’s unrecognisable. You’ll turn up one day and there will be a priority waiting room. They’ve always been open about it.

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

BREAKING: Now we have evidence that Boris Johnson has put the NHS up for sale.

If you, or anyone you love needs the NHS, you cannot vote for the Tories on December 12th.
