Sad to see TERF propaganda being celebrated by @durhamalumni in their newsletter. I would like to be able to expect better from @durham_uni. Benefit of the doubt says poor proof reading of submitted content but still disappointing.

Quick, we all need to share images of the Bayeux Tapestry before the UK government bans them under its clever internet law.

In 2010, when the Tories came in, the NHS was ranked the fairest, most efficient & cost-effective healthcare system in the world. It had its highest ever public approval rating

Now it's on the verge of collapse.

They said the NHS was safe with them.

It wasn't, was it?

@adotmin @wukawear I mean there is that and it doesn't seem to be a huge difference when I tried them but still, I was so confident ordering because I thought I knew my size!

[Naomi @_maoami]

Hi @wukawear, why is the design of the lace on the ultimate lace pants I just got different from the design of the lace in all the photos on your website? And have you changed your sizing recently? There's an inch of extra waistband in my new 'M' hipsters compared to my old ones.

Everything wrong with our politics, in one story:
Hedge fund manager buys large estate on Dartmoor.
Uses vast fortune to challenge the right to camp there. Wins.
Local people call on their MP to amend the legislation.
Discover he's been funded by the hedge fund manager.

[Nate Higgins @natehiggins]

You don’t get to march at Pride, pretending to be an ally, and then ditch our community as soon as it’s politically convenient.

At least we know where we stand with the Conservatives. This is a massive betrayal by Labour.

[Election Maps UK @ElectionMapsUK]

The Elections Act 2022 comes into force today, replacing the Supplementary Vote system used in Mayoral and PCC Elections with First Past the Post.

Personally, I think the Tories may soon regret setting a precedent for changing the voting system without a referendum...

[Cameron Greer @CameronGreerSNP]

welcome back to: what is the new cabinet’s views on lgbt rights (it comes around faster every month!)

first up, rishi sunak, prime minister

❌ he opposes trans rights, saying trans women are not women and wants to ban lgbt-inclusive languages in schools

[PinkNews @PinkNews]

Wish @EquityUK was even half as useful and effective as @bectu or that BECTU did Stage Management. If we all switch en masse would that make enough of a point? Could really do with a union who do something rather than talk about doing something/get unpaid deps to do all the work!

Let's take a closer look at the man running Boris Johnson's leadership campaign: Jacob Rees-Mogg https://t.co/ZKvA0dxxex

[s'dali ⚫ @szczuk6]

According to last month's Private Eye @KwasiKwarteng has been working for Odey's hedge fund on the side as a paid 'political advisor' at £20k a month since he was elected as an MP in 2010.

@adotmin I also had this thought the other day, it is the only logical option

[Ed Conway @EdConwaySky]

🧵RISING INTEREST RATES ARE A BIGGER DEAL THAN YOU MIGHT THINK🧵
This is important (hence the caps).
I’m a bit worried people are being WAY too complacent about rising interest rates.
They assume that because they’re so low now vs the 1990s, this’ll be a walk in the park.
NO.

[Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar]

The fracking ban will be scrapped on Thursday, as per @benrileysmith, with planning requests for new drilling expected within weeks. Yet this is what new chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng wrote on March 6 👇🏼
