Bye folks 👋 I am not posting or interacting on this toxic @X platform anymore. Find me on Instagram & Threads, and maybe @bluesky if I can find the time.

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

Why not apply the same logic to English Water companies? 🤔

Incapacity benefit is just £62.85 per week for those under retirement age and £77.70 for those over it.
The attendance allowance for the Lords is up to £361 *per day*.
Which is unsustainable?

@DavidLammy @realDonaldTrump Are you mad? 😳

@LivEchonews Should be shot.

[Friends of Norris Green Park @NGPFriends]

With the help of https://t.co/XcOIthAOvB and funding from NG ward councillors we have started the #NorrisGreenLitterNetwork to help empower residents to take action on litter and the local environment. More info here https://t.co/3i6AVwuHF8

[Helen Ball @HelenSocKnowHow]

@peterjrainford @MHowie81 @LiverLibDems Yes majority of parks friends groups were formed & litter picking way before 2022

[Helen Ball @HelenSocKnowHow]

@MHowie81 BTW Do you know about @LitterNetworks Hard to explain in short what they do in a few characters but check out the Lpool Networks. Residents tacking action.

[Helen Ball @HelenSocKnowHow]

@MHowie81 Completely agree. The KLT process is a farce. It took them 6 weeks to reply to an email I sent last year (with two reminders) asking what it was they could support a local community initiative with. Got offered litterpickers! That was it. 🤷‍♀️

@Sandford_Police I put a letter through the office franking machine in 1996 😆

Mick Lynch is without doubt the standout trade union leader of his generation. Whether that be slapping down politicians live on air, putting ill-informed journalists in their place, or simply being a decent human being and a great friend - Mick, you’re gonna be missed.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Happy birthday & best wishes in retirement to the legend that is Mick Lynch!

As @RMTunion General Secretary, he’s been bold, principled & inspiring — a true champion for his members & the working class.

Mick’s leadership strengthened the union movement & he’ll be sorely missed.

[Helen Ball @HelenSocKnowHow]

@LancsPolDogUnit You’re correct there, Labradorsxare completely bonkers!

[TheFarm/PeterHooton @TheFarm_Peter]

A true working class hero - articulate, informed & a legend of the trade union movement - if only we had politicians like him 🤞

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Billionaires should not own social media platforms.

Billionaires should not run our newspapers.

Billionaires should not control our politics.

A free media is a democratic media - a public good that is owned and run by us all.

[Helen Ball @HelenSocKnowHow]

@MerPolDogs Steak for tea tonight Ike 😍🙌

@HerbsandDirt Lots has already been mentioned. But also a varied healthy diet and drink lots water - feed your skin from inside.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Apparently X is going to start prioritising positive posts.

OK I'll start.

Vaccines are amazing!

They save millions of lives!
