1. THREAD I welcome history discussions in newspapers if article-writers have read the books they're criticizing. My book came out yesterday. This @spectator
article, published 1 week ago, was sourced by @BBCr4today to ask a q. about my book's copper walk

@m4ttk3nt It's a great movie.

It had the best battle scene I've ever seen, a brutal depiction of the push of pike between the tercios and French pikemen.

ALIEN is perfect and its script is a MIRACLE, but you could never make it now with how it's currently structured — the way it starts as ensemble and Ripley slowly becomes the lead. No exec would allow it.

You'd have to tell the story from her POV from Page 1 and that's a tragedy

Sheffield City Region SEZ 2024 – 40 x 30cm, acrylic on canvas
A private company now owns the region you live in, they promise to rescue your town from Govt failure and design laws as services, you sign a contract to opt in or out. All public services are privatised in the zone, police, healthcare, nurseries, buses, schools, even the curriculum your kids study is adapted to libertarian ideology as it erases all traces of socialism, your kids never lived through a left-wing Govt, they think pain is normal.

In the West Midlands, mayor Andy Street has used his multimillion-pound housing budget to build just 46 social homes in 8 years.

"That's almost as many as the Chancellor's property portfolio."

Baroness Bennett, "I rise with a heavy heart.. To this this dreadful international law busting bill"

"Amnesty international warned airline companies that many members of the public take an extremely negative view of the Rwanda policy"

"Those were unnecessary words because no company of any repute whatsoever is going to take part in the Rwanda scheme"

"We've had the abomination of the elections act, the elements of a policing act, we've had multiple indefensible restrictions on the right to protest. Now, we are letting through an attack on some of the most vulnerable, desperate people on this planet"

"What more will we let through?"

"I suggest to noble lords as they leave this chamber tonight to ask themselves that question. With a desperate flailing government bereft of ideas, and philosophy without principles. This house will keep being tested"

"So I ask these empty benches. You might be waiting for an election, but what kind of country will it be if you don't stand up now?"

[Daniel Ribot @Daniel_Ribot]

@RishiSunak You don’t have an airline, it hasn’t been approved by parliament, you have not convinced the courts it’s legal… ifs and buts galore, in fact.

@vicderbyshire The lesson here is if you want a Tory MP to pay their debts, you need to lock them in a room until they hand over the money.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Wanna fuck over the Tories?

On 22nd April our https://t.co/0Anm9jKV85 local election tactical vote tool will return! Last time we helped to wipe out 1000 Tory councillors… and we’ll do it again.

Prepare to mobilise. Together we can destroy them and influence the next govt.

[Daniel Ribot @Daniel_Ribot]

@JLWORRAD Is your drummer ok?

[Daniel Ribot @Daniel_Ribot]

@RishiSunak 1) you should be making new policy announcements in parliament, not social media 2) the party you lead is so corrupt that any savings you make will be swallowed up by graft and backhanders 3) call an election now.

UK billionaires:

1990: 15
2010: 29
2023: 171

In 2023, the richest 50 UK families held more wealth than half the population.

60% more people today strongly agree there is “one law for the rich & one for the poor” than agreed in 1997.

BUT ANGELA RAYNER MIGHT OWE £3,500 TO HMRC!

Destruction of a precious ancient bluebell woodland in the Kent countryside under a deluge of illegal landfill waste shows the utter failure of environmental law, complete inaction by the authorities & increasing lawlessness in the UK. Let me tell you the story of Hoads Wood 🧵

[Philip V. @PhilipAMLC]

Noboa, backed by the USA, born in the USA is destroying Ecuador. Everything that he promised during his campaign has become the opposite. He just raised taxes last week, cut health and education budgets. He was not qualified to even become a candidate since he has off-shore accounts & companies in tax heavens, forbidden by Ecuadorian law. He owes $89M dollars in taxes to the country, and his family's mega companies have a terrible record on human rights. You may ask yourself, how come he is president? He fooled them and got the vote from the people that did want the Progressive candidate, Luisa Gonzalez, to become their president.

Noboa is only Guillermo Lasso, part two.

[Armando Iannucci @Aiannucci]

Creative Industries make up 6% of our economy: more than car and oil industries together. They employ 2.3million people. To cut funding is fudge-brained, cack-hearted thinking pitched very much at the highest level of economic self-harm. https://t.co/jSRTtd9FYp
