🧵📚/ My New Year's resolution was to read more. I have set myself a target of 50 books. Given that I usually read 2 or 3 books a year, it's an ambitious target to say the least!

Going to brighten up my Twitter by pinning a thread of books as I read them...

Despite living in a swing seat, at present, I will not be voting for Labour.

@northernassist Hi EK, I haven't yet received a letter. Should I be concerned? I want to appeal and certainly do not want a late penalty.

[Tom @TomElliotW]

@northernassist I tried to purchase a ticket from a ticket collector on the train, but he told me they sold out and he wrote a Travel Incident Report. He was a nice guy and told me to just appeal it online. How do I do that? Do I wait to receive a letter from you?

[Tom @TomElliotW]

Amazing. This guy was my best mate growing up😂

“Starmer’s approach to rebranding the Labour Party? To purge.”

Will keeping an ironclad grip on MP selections help catapult Labour to victory at the general election?

Common sense👏

Ukrainian victory is the only way to end this war and I agree with sending them everything they need to achieve it.

But not uranium shells. This is a bad idea. It will poison land they wish to defend.

Feel like mental health has pretty safely hit the “breast cancer zone,” where literally everyone is now aware of it but awareness campaigns are all we are ever gonna get when what we really need is free universal healthcare

Deliberately delaying the verdict, rather than releasing it when its ready, would be an actual attempt to influence the elections.

@JMPSimor John McAndrew is now running BBC News & Current Affairs. McAndrew was Editor In Charge at GB News. He was appointed to the role by Robbie Gibb. Gibb was one of a co-founder of...GB News.

Not sure I have ever commented on a referee before - but today I have been lost for words - BUT I am not saying Ireland do not deserve their Grand Slam - they do

[Tom @TomElliotW]

England actually played quite well - gives me some optimism!

Ireland deserved the win. Peyper had an absolute shocker of a game.

It's all over in Dublin. A brave performance ends in defeat.

Peyper has had an absolute shocker of a game.

Ireland deserved the Grand Slam and played so well all tournament, so not taking anything from them.

Median FTSE 100 CEO pay is up 39% on January 2022

I'm not sure they have our interests at heart.

@ThalaMsutu77 Putting Steward on the wing is criminal😂

[RugbyInsideLine @RugbyInsideLine]

You also have to laugh at the fact that despite England’s pack being bulldozered in the contact zone, everyone is going on about the fly half again…

[Gary Lineker @GaryLineker]

A final thought: however difficult the last few days have been, it simply doesn’t compare to having to flee your home from persecution or war to seek refuge in a land far away. It’s heartwarming to have seen the empathy towards their plight from so many of you. 3/4

It is a disgusting lie to suggest that pedophiles are part of the LGBTQ rainbow.

This grotesque trope leads to abuse, discrimination and violence.

It is beyond disgusting that Julie Bindel has gone on a hard right TV channel to propagate this vile slur.

[Tom @TomElliotW]

England Rugby don't deserve Freddie Steward. Despite the record breaking defeat, Steward as an individual player has been solid as always. A player of total class.

[Tom @TomElliotW]

Why did @netflix have to choose this 6 Nations to film their documentary? Couldn't they have picked a less humiliating year for England fans?😂
