Is @NOWTV down I get something went wrong and all other apps working

[Alister Scott @Prof_AJScott]

#trump the Iranians have no cards
World economy the straits of Hormuz are not open and price of oil
We are being driven towards World War 3 by idiots and one wonders when the republicans are going to wake up and smell the bullshit

[Alister Scott @Prof_AJScott]

#r4today I think govt need to have contingency for those who rely on heating oil for heat and water as prices have more than doubled and there are no viable alternatives. Mainly rural areas and major issues for those on low incomes

[Alister Scott @Prof_AJScott]

#skynews actually nothing about support to those rural communities who have to buy heating oil. That has more than doubled in price. Equivalent to £3.00 per litre for petrol
Had to have a fill of 500 litres today at £1.30 per litre . In November was 52p
Total rip off

[Alister Scott @Prof_AJScott]

#r4today Martin Lewis forgets about many of us in rural areas dependent on heating oil just paid 130 p per litre as opposed to 52p in November

[Alister Scott @Prof_AJScott]

At what stage do republicans accept not only that #trump is an election liability but a person who should never be near any power as he single handedly threatens worlds economy
This is way beyond idiocracy

[REKT Specialist is unbanned! (Parody?) /AFAO/ @GoatRoper911]

Man, what a no brainer.

[Alister Scott @Prof_AJScott]

Truly #trump is the real life starring actor of #idiocracy
Yet republicans seemingly are impotent or unwilling to rock the boat.
Who is actually scamming who ………

@21percentgroup Important paper

[21group @21percentgroup]

"Surveys of bullying in universities show that it is rife, but universities are chronically unable to identify any bullying behaviour"

From "Exited: Terminated from Higher Education", edited by Howson, Hughes & Tight, published Emerald Press

@HuffPostUKPol @KevinASchofield All bullies should be called whoever they are

[Chris Hinchliff MP @CHinchliffMP]

Turns out those complaining about "the vegetable lobby" are just angry with...the public.

Developers have failed to build affordable homes.

Scapegoating nature for their failure is wrong.

It's also a vote loser.

#r4today packham is right. Those who speak for nature have not done enough and need to up their game. As an academic I collectively feel my own failure in such respects. However using a fear factor narrative is not likely to work as crisis is overused .

[Alister Scott @Prof_AJScott]

#r4today Need to engage with publics and others on their priorities and connect our nature narrative within those rather than operate in our own silo and echo chamber. That requires working outside our jargon and usual suspects .
