Mid thirties and still trying to make sense of life whilst despairing of humanity more and more each day

@British_Airways are there still issues with your booking system today? Website and app either hanging or showing "something went wrong"

[Mike Canning @MikeCanning10]

@DreamWifeMusic what. a. show. Phenomenal night @CastleandFalcon thank you so much!

[Gary Lineker @GaryLineker]

I love @McIlroyRory….and, yeah, I’m aware he’s not gonna shag me, but nevertheless.

2 minutes on Newsnight last night to say:

The government has deliberately created a crisis as a campaign tool

They have stopped processing asylum claims, letting numbers build up, in barges or hotels, just so at the next election they can say they’re the ones to fix it #r4today

@ynotfestival @firstfrontieruk you guys yes?

[Mike Canning @MikeCanning10]

🦍 KONG IS BACK 🦍To celebrate the Commonwealth Games coming to Brum @CordiaBlackswan have created a 7m tall identical replica of Nicholas Monro's Kong Statue which will be displayed in King Kong Park (a new pop-up park for the games in the JQ). More info: https://t.co/sz5oLE4L2a

[I Choose Birmingham @ichoosemag]

A 7m tall King Kong sculpture, a replica of the 1972 original, is being created by Gloucestershire-based RoboCarv and commissioned by @CordiaBlackswan to mark 50 years since his last visit to Brum. He'll live on Great Hampton Row in the JQ, July 22 to Aug 8. Free

Spent the day back in northern France talking to those in the camps. What’s striking, is how similar the mood is to November, just after the catastrophe on the Channel. Fear yes, of the seas and now Rwanda- yet total resolution to make it across, all the same. This is why (🧵)

While Johnson crows over his success in supporting Ukraine against Russia, he is proposing to send Putin's other victims half way around the world, out of sight, out of mind.

We will not stand for it.

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

I reckon this is my best from today. I know I am so lucky to get to speak for the millions of people in this country who are disgusted or uncomfortable with the government's hostility to refugees.

Thank you everyone who has said #RefugeesWelcome today. ❤️ https://t.co/G6koro1yds

We should welcome people fleeing Ukraine, Afghanistan, Syria and many more. Instead, the Government wants to criminalise, detain and deport refugees.

The House of Lords rejected these plans - now MPs need to do the same #StopNABB

@serenabob Amazing, amazing player! Congratulations on an incredible career

[Peter Sturdgess @petersturdgess]

These anti-war demonstrations in Russia would be illegal in the UK under the proposed new Police and Crime Bill.

"Until we have a bill that offers people an alternative way to travel... we are complicit with the people smugglers"

Zoe Gardner, from the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, urges the government to change its approach on migrant crossings

🗣️"If everybody is meant to stay in France just because they're to the west of us, France can say the same thing to Italy & so on... the whole international refugee protection regime will crumble"

"We need to step up and play our part"- our @ZoeJardiniere on refugee protection

[Mike Canning @MikeCanning10]

#RefugeesWelcome rally at parliament yesterday. We must stop the Nationality & Borders bill
#TogetherWithRefugees

[Minnie Rahman @minnierahman]

The Government has introduced more detail into the Borders Bill and it's as ghastly as you can imagine.

Blackmail, "scientific" assessments from the dark ages, and misuse of the justice system.

Dystopian doesn't cover it ⬇️

Most guys don’t look in the mirror & see a problem. But it’s staring us in the face. Sexual violence begins long before you think it does. #DontBeThatGuy
