@Britain_People When Elton Musk owns Twitter, then that is just the incentive I need to quit Twitter for good.

I'd rather just be a dad and quietly do science than put myself out there in the media, get arrested, spend all my free time organizing, and all of it. It's exhausting and invasive. But it's the least I can do, for my kids and for this Earth. We need a billion climate activists.

@narkovian Misplaced nominative determinism?

[Baroness Mary Bousted @MaryWBousted]

Jonathan Gullis repeatedly demanded my resignation in House of Commons education debates. He even offered to clear out my office at the NEU. Now he is no longer schools minister I am very happy to return the offer and to help him clear out his office at the DfE.

@FlyOnNo10Wall Why do has-been politicians attack a has-bean food product?

[Jon Olley @JonOlley]

@martinpacker Great!
My one trip in a hot air balloon was a bit weird.
We took off, floated about 5 miles up the valley, then the wind changed direction and we floated back down the valley and landed in the field next to the one we took off from. Very unexpected.

🧵is a new variant (to me) on a very old joke.

In 1980's was known as "1 IBM Plaza" (Chicago) joke inside IBM. Many other old variants exist. 😄

Dear Ms Braverman
We were concerned by your recent comments about our product in which you appeared to be condemning people for eating it. We are now further concerned by the fact that your security record is in doubt making you an unworthy commentator on our product.

Labour spokesman confirms Nadia Whittome was told to delete this tweet, and is currently in talks with the party Chief Whip about what happens next.

Spox didn't deny possibility of the whip being suspended.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

The Battle of Bamber Bridge, 1943.

Racist US military police attacked black US troops on British soil.

US military authorities demanded the town’s pubs impose a colour bar, the local landlords responded with signs that read “Black Troops Only” which pissed them off.

@CcRasita @MichaelRosenYes Thanks, yes, I couldn't find it on Hairy Bikers.

@MichaelRosenYes Dear Leaky Sue,
As a "has bean" product to a "has been" politician, we have always taken the advice, "if you can't say anything nice, it's really better not to say anything at all."
Except on this occasion.

On the 40th day after #MahsaAmini’s death while in custody of the Iranian regime, thousands of protesters take to the streets, despite authorities efforts to stop them. This is in her home town Saqiz
