Socialism, urbanism, cats.

@AaronBastani When was this?

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

100%

Unregulated social media made a fair few people - particularly kids - mentally unwell.

E-commerce and Amazon nuked the high street.

Social platforms basically killed local news.

All of it could have been managed much, much better.

Why does NOBODY tell him this?

[Tom McTague @TomMcTague]

The scale of the HS2 failure is a national scandal which should prompt a complete overhaul of the state. That it won’t is only further evidence of our malaise.

My own story of @AndyBurnhamGM being a genuinely decent man: undergoing chemotherapy at 17, I was invited to his roundtable with young people on the NHS. I couldn’t make it as I was too unwell. This letter arrived a few days later. 1/2

Truly brutal obituary for the Starmer project from one of Britain’s great living historians, David Edgerton

[Tom Moore @Tom_dmoore]

@PhilipProudfoot @AndyBurnhamGM Changing the electoral system without a mandate would be labelled as election fixing and overturned by another government without a mandate.

Setting a precedent of changing the electoral system when no one's voted for is genuinely threatening to democracy.

[Congolesa Rice @judeinlondon]

You really had to be there for the lunacy

[Eyup Lovely @eyuplovely]

I know what you’re thinking. The biggest majority in a generation. A historic landslide, a singular mandate, zero organised opposition. How is it even possible for me to fuck this up?

Refill your popcorn. You’ll love this next part.

[Tweeting Carefully 💚 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 @CarefulTweeter]

One of the worst acts of hubris by any British politician.

[Common Wealth @Cmmonwealth]

Why does nothing in Britain work anymore?

In this video, we explain how privatisation has left Britain’s essential public services in ruin by baking a fragmented and inefficient cake.

Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party .

Times. Mail. Telegraph. Sun.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

The US Holocaust Memorial Museum calls Israeli Prof @bartov_omer "one of the world's leading specialists on the subject of genocide." Stephen Kapos is an 88-year-old Jewish Holocaust survivor.

Yet @HausdorffMedia dismisses them both as "token Jews." How is this not antisemitic?

[Looking for Growth @lfg_uk]

A group of residents bravely fought against noise from a

... Children's playground.

The council had to demolish it, and give £130,000 to two complainants.

At the taxpayers expense.

31% of children don't have a playground close to them.

Do normal countries operate this way?

[Despotic Inroad @DespoticInroad]

"Everything is basically fine" as 19 years of stagnant real wages/productivity growth is about to collide with an inflationary supply shock/major recession in the midst of political chaos overseen by weak, directionless, inept technocrats who promised "CHANGE".

[Adam Wren @aswren]

The truth is that being an MP is a really shitty job. You don’t have any actual power, you have more as a local councillor. Most of the time you don’t even know what you’re voting on. You hear the bell and the whips herd you into a lobby like cattle. Might as well be plastered

[Tom Moore @Tom_dmoore]

@CurtisDaly_ @Stsantek If you’ve finished your work at 5 but need to wait 2-5 hours to walk though a room just to cast a vote you’ve already decided on, do you really need to be stone cold sober to do that?

I don’t want my surgeon having a beer during work, but I couldn’t give a fuck if my mp does

[Tom Moore @Tom_dmoore]

@Stsantek @flying_rodent I’m absolutely fine if an MP gets shitfaced after work, I don’t care if it’s in their office the bars in parliament or outside parliament.

Also you can have 2 beers and still smell of beer, I don’t think she mentioned people getting shitfaced

[Tom Moore @Tom_dmoore]

@SorchaEastwood Sorry but you worked jobs where it’d be a health and safety violation to have a drink, rightly or wrongly. MP’s have an office job and have to wait hours before walking through a room for a vote to be taken.

You can actually make cities beautiful again.
