Creative strategist. Pragmatic idealist. Londoner with a hint of Xhosa. Not necessarily in that order.

@ArgosHelpers I sorted it thanks. Only seemed to work in a different browser

[Lucy Zeka @Lucy_Zeka]

@ArgosHelpers your website doesn’t seem to be working. I’m trying to order something from Habitat and either I can’t get into my Argos account after multiple password resets or when I did get through the payment page won’t load. A shame I want to spend money with you and I can’t!

@virginmedia I have a Hub 3. Speeds by the hub are about 125 Mbps but in the room I work in upstairs I get only 8 Mbps

[Lucy Zeka @Lucy_Zeka]

@virginmedia I’ve just got your M125 BB which is supposed to get me an average of 132Mbps. I’m only getting 8Mbps where I work which doesn’t even give me a functioning Teams call but I now need to pay another £8 a month to get a WiFi Pod to sort it. Feeling ripped off already

[Lucy Zeka @Lucy_Zeka]

@virginmedia Yes I’ve got the Connect App which is what recommended that I get your WiFi Pods… it’s having to pay an extra £8 a month for it that’s my problem!

Motorola phone found in #BrockwellPark near the circle of trees. #hernehill @hernehillforum DM if it might be yours

In the last five years, there's been ONE conviction for electoral fraud. It's just not a problem worth spending £180m on - when the solution means that a young voter without a passport or driving licence won't be able to vote. Sign here if you think it's a mad waste of time

This graph on BBC News last night. I don't know why it isn't where the asylum debate begins and ends. The numbers aren't new. What's new is that their only route is now by dinghy.

61 Conservative MPs voted against extending abortion access in Northern Ireland last week, including Jacob Rees-Mogg and several other ministers.

This is still one of my favourite passages of all time. Taken from How To Build A Girl, @caitlinmoran explains the difference between the rich and poor. PLEASE read this and share. We can't afford to go on like we are. Quite literally. #ToriesOutNow #TimeForChange

[David Wolstencroft @woollensocks]

Exactly this. But we must go further. We must sell the Cabinet to Costa so that they can source, roast and process their own coffee beans, serving espresso drinks in a vast chain of worldwide retail outlets. If not, how can they hope to compete with Starbucks internationally?

[Lucy Zeka @Lucy_Zeka]

And let’s be clear this isn’t just incompetence. This is the hostile environment strategy at work. Too many people have experienced this utter lack of humanity for too many years at the hands of @ukhomeoffice

[Caitlin Moran @caitlinmoran]

Reading the actual, detailed accounts of how war refugees are being broken by our paperwork and red tape is heartbreaking. Imagine being these women.

Fascinating thread from Prof. Maxim Mironov on what sanctions are likely to mean for the Russian economy.

"My scientific conclusion... is that the Russian economy is fucked. Double fucked, because most Russians don't know what's coming."

Justice Secretary and a qualified lawyer. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Would be funny if it wasn’t so depressing

[nazir afzal @nazirafzal]

Here’s Dominic Raab, the Lord Chancellor no less, saying that if a suspect (Boris Johnson) admits or denies a criminal offence, that he would be prejudicing a police investigation
What have we done to deserve this?

[Lucy Zeka @Lucy_Zeka]

Any support you can provide in raising this issue and securing long-term additional funding would be much appreciated. Maintained nurseries are often overlooked when funding is allocated. Thanks! 4/4

[Lucy Zeka @Lucy_Zeka]

@JimDicksLambeth Funding for maintained nurseries has not kept pace with rising costs in the last few years and they need a commitment of increased funding to ensure a sustainable future. 2/

[Lucy Zeka @Lucy_Zeka]

Our son attends Effra Nursery and it provides an outstanding education and preparation for primary school, as well as being far more affordable and better equipped to support SEN kids than private nurseries in the area. We would all be worse off without it 3/
