@the_museumfolk None of this is okay. I’m so sorry.

After rushing to my barely consciousness neighbour (alone with her 5 kids) only to be told an ambulance would be 2 + hrs when the A&E is 10 mins away - is real life proof that those Tory fucks have NO RIGHT to complain about Labour taxing the rich a bit to fix their negligence.

To those saying comments like "oh good more money for those who contribute nothing" - check ur facts!

40% of UC claimants are the working poor others are carers, have disabilities or illness, & some who don't have work, want it. A little more compassion & less judgement wouldn't hurt.

@DeuceChurros415 @schizesq Wait what are you supposed to call it? Are you saying everyone garbles through the whole name every time? 🤯 (soon to be visitor)

@besson_helene @fesshole Every time we take a thing on holiday and it doesn’t get used - e.g. a piece of clothing, a book, a teabag - we talk about how it just had a lovely trip to X destination.

@drelizabeth13 @fesshole Wow that strategy from your dad really backfired huh 😂

Indeed. Business fraud thirty times higher than benefit fraud: yet so far, no plans for hotlines to ring if you suspect a company is having a laugh with millions of our pounds.

[Ms. Manet @Ms_Manet]

@adamfare1996 Agreed. People think I’m flaky because I’m so poor at making or keeping plans - but often I have no idea if I’m up to it until the moment I have to leave the house.

[Ms. Manet @Ms_Manet]

@TimIrwin26 @GhostlySable Yes, this!

[Ms. Manet @Ms_Manet]

@TheDongerino @GhostlySable I experience the opposite problem - when I apply for roles where I can demonstrably tick every box and/or know I can do everything listed on the ad, but for reasons I cannot fathom I get rejected. Must be my personality eh.

Since the 1980s, the amount of carbon emissions from doing your laundry has reduced by a factor of *15*.

Achieving this did not require activists to try to convince you to change your behavior, nor did it trigger any reactionary uproar.

This is the power of innovation (nudged forward by sensible policies).

This is how problems are solved.

[Ms. Manet @Ms_Manet]

@the_museumfolk Yeah I’ve had this multiple times too. It sucks massively but it appears to be acceptable because it’s a seller’s market 😑

For those asking, the ‘fierce backlash last night’ entailed two information requests to our press office. One from the Daily Mail and one from the Daily Telegraph.

Please remember to vote in this year’s National Trust AGM.

Visiting our Rio Las Vacas project while I’m here in Guatemala.

During the rainy season, we’re intercepting dozens of truckloads like this one on a daily basis. All of this would have otherwise ended up in the Caribbean.

Pretty insane.

This is the graph embedded further down that needs to be seen to appreciate how messed up the whole market is

Massively misleading headline here from ⁦@BBCNews⁩ - where “cool” is a verb to showing slowing of rate rises, but reality is still a significant ten year high. Rental costs are crippling for a majority and make comfortable living a big challenge https://t.co/d8qAgMPplC
