@Chadpie Congratulations. A fab achievement!

A brilliant thing happened last week. Kit Fan, @LinklaterLizzi & Martin Kratz were reading at Rise Up! The audience were enthralled - you could’ve heard a pin drop. Next up…we’re SO excited to be welcoming @kimmoorepoet, @LauraS_poet & @deborahfinding. https://t.co/0LRGaTPOTr

"Working in publishing, I must have entered hundreds of literary awards on behalf of our authors over the years, so it felt particularly berzerk to read an awards email addressed to me!"

@Peston The Tories are a laughing stock

@kickynippax Sorry Nicky, pressed the key too fast there...didn't clock this was just coming to you. X

[Lizzi Linklater @LinklaterLizzi]

@kickynippax Looking forward to this. Do come!

It’s June - so I’m officially banging on about this lovely upcoming event. Poetry in a bakery (Rise Up!) with Kit Fan, Martin Kratz & @LinklaterLizzi. Cake (natch) coffee & a licensed bar. Tickets via https://t.co/7RaZuMYKeK

Frank Hester has made vile comments about Diane Abbott. He doesn't deserve to be honoured, but holds an OBE. Agree? Sign the petition demanding his OBE be stripped from him now! https://t.co/nEa5p5D1Fw

The #SpringBudget is a budget for big earners and big owners.

Instead of real support for those in hardship, we saw a short-term patching up of the government's own failed systems. #Budget2024

After yesterday, I'm done hiding as a victim. I was raped & physically abused by a Tory MP. I tried to report it in 2020,the Chief Whip told me to get over it & did nothing. I have medical records,months of rape counselling notes, my parents' first hand evidence. He is still a MP

@Gusclaw Same! Who'd have thunk it?

[Lizzi Linklater @LinklaterLizzi]

@gary_hassard Yes, you're quite right. Although there are similarities, of course: dispossession, alienation, fear of death, anxiety for loved ones and sadly the risk of mistreatment/cruelty (by host families) . But essentially you're right.

This is for the 3.8 million lives that were ignored.

The freelancers and the self employed.

The Conference are trying every trick to have this taken down…so I’ve just deployed large digital vans as well, to keep circling the area.

Boris Johnson's bellowing, bluster-filled, no doubt conniving resignation is as predicted all about himself.

@Steven_Swinford Touching to see how he mentioned the Covid victims and their families and had their unremitting grief and suffering foremost is his mind, and expressing his genuine remorse for worsening their plight. He’s already planning comeback as alluded ‘for now’ post Rishi annihilation.😡
