Haven’t posted for ages. But isn’t there something wrong with our constitution if an MP can change their party allegiance and still continue to represent their constituents?

@Microsoft please suggest how I should try to move my 90 year old Mother from @Skype which she understands and has used for many years to Teams which has such a different UI, so that we can continue to chat online. #painful

With USPUK's help, Inna & Natalya successfully navigated the visa process and are living safely in the UK. Thousands of Ukrainians are still waiting for this opportunity. Can you help? https://t.co/xQJFV5g1Pm

@peterkwells About time!

[Heather Savory @SaturnSA4]

Depressing that it’s over 10 years now since @ODUGUK started to campaign for the release of address data as #OpenData ☹️

[Peter Wells @peterkwells]

Geoplace are lovely people who do important work on fundamentally important data for the UK, but despite working on data that actually and usefully could be open data the incentives of their business model is to keep the important data as a paid asset

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I didn’t but they reminded me! 😊 #MyTwitterAnniversary

Down with Covid and have just cancelled my elderly Mum’s Easter visit here. My sister is away so she will be on her own☹️. Anecdotally around the country many people have Covid. No more surveys or free tests (even if vulnerable). I fear there is a spike. Keep safe #COVID19

A great event earlier this week to mark a year since we set up https://t.co/6BOzkoZmYB Many displaced Ukrainians helped, many lessons learned.

[USPUK - Universal Sponsorship Pathway UK @uspuk_org]

Yesterday, USPUK was involved in the event, A Year On: The Homes for Ukraine Scheme. The event reflected on the challenges and successes of the past year. You can watch the full recording here: https://t.co/NDXvZeD6Qt

The situation in #Ukraine isn't improving, our support and solidarity needs to continue. For your new year's resolution, pledge to host.

[Heather Savory @SaturnSA4]

Well deserved, congratulations @DGOpsHMPPS

[Antonia Romeo @AntoniaRomeoUK]

Huge congratulations to Phil Copple for his CB for services to justice & charity. Phil has given 30 years’ service to protecting the public @HMPPS since starting as a prison officer, including leading the prison service through the pandemic.

Please think about hosting if you can. People and children are in real need in Ukraine this winter. You can get £350 a month from the UK government to assist with your costs and we hope that might increase soon. https://t.co/6BOzkoZmYB

[Heather Savory @SaturnSA4]

Many Ukrainians still need your support. If you’re feeling the chill here imagine how things are for those in Ukrainian war zones

Very good news

[USPUK - Universal Sponsorship Pathway UK @uspuk_org]

Fantastic news that thank you payments are increasing to £500 for those who have been in the UK for over a year. Thank you payments will now also be extended from 12-months to two years.

"The war in #Ukraine continues and over winter the #humanitarian situation will worsen. The centres in #Warsaw still receive a regular flow of refugees and these people need somewhere more stable and hopeful." - @maricarjagger
Can you provide this hope? https://t.co/hgnv51RpDG

"I was shocked at the scale. You hear numbers but until you see the rows of beds in a room as large as an aircraft hangar, it is hard to imagine." @Ben_J_Still

Warsaw's centres are still home to 3k people waiting to find sanctuary. Can you provide this? https://t.co/2ezr7E55bN

"This is the worst winter since WWII", Vitalii Klitschko, Mayor of Kyiv, has warned.

Ukrainians face a winter of power cuts at sub-zero temperatures, due to destruction of the city's energy infrastructure by Russian shelling.

It has been eye opening to represent @salvationarmyuk as part of the @CitizensUK and @uspuk_org visit to refugee centres in Poland. It forcibly demonstrates the ongoing need for the UK to support displaced Ukrainian people. #HomesForUkraine #RefugeesWelcome #StandWithUkraine

[USPUK - Universal Sponsorship Pathway UK @uspuk_org]

Russia continues its series of indiscriminate attacks. Russian missiles continue to kill civilians and destroy vital infrastructure throughout Ukraine.
