As an ex-red crosser (and you’re never really an ex-red crosser) this heart-starting, life-saving love story was a joyful rollercoaster. Well done @electra_rhodes for stepping in and doing #CPR and for telling the story to inspire others to learn how! @BritishRedCross

[Dr Sian Williams @sianwilliams100]

Today - great story with (some) heartbreak but (mostly) happy ever after.
Electra is lovely. Do join us.

[Fairness Foundation @fairnessfdn]

We all know that Britain is unequal. But WHY is it unequal and what makes those inequalities unfair? The #fairnessindex spells it out at https://t.co/E5jDbsIdeO

[Fairness Foundation @fairnessfdn]

The myth of meritocracy makes people underestimate unfairness. 39% of people think Britain is unfair based on gut feeling. But 66% of people who have seen statistics from the #fairnessindex (https://t.co/D0736wh0rF) think Britain is unfair. (chart made with @f_l_o_u_r_i_s_h )

[Fairness Foundation @fairnessfdn]

The #fairnessindex is live at https://t.co/Ml9KTm1op0. Last chance to sign up for tomorrow's launch webinar (11am Weds) at https://t.co/tdKSq5YF4e

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK How and why this country has become so unfair, to the extent it costs the poorest 10% 18.5 years of healthy life, compared to the richest 10%. https://t.co/mJbr4ZHHWJ

[Storylines @BexGilbert1]

Unfairness costs the poorest 10% of people 18.5 years of healthy life, compared to the richest 10%. Our Fairness Index, out today, uses stats and stories to show how unequal society has become, and what we can do to change it. Press release here: https://t.co/mJbr4ZqEUJ

[Child Poverty Action Group @CPAGUK]

We've published new analysis today showing that 200,000 more children will be pushed into poverty if benefits rise by wages rather than inflation.

The government must do the right thing and increase benefits in line with inflation.

Just over a week to go until we launch the UK's first ever #FairnessIndex with the data and stories that show just how unfair society has become, and what we need to do about it. Our launch event is next Wednesday. Help us spread the word! #fairness

[Fairness Foundation @fairnessfdn]

Do we live in a fair society in the UK? Data, arguments, solutions, case studies, public attitudes. It's all in the #fairnessindex, out on 19 October. Sign up for our launch webinar with @williamnhutton, @TorstenBell, Ann Phoenix and @ProfRGWilkinson at https://t.co/tdKSq5YF4e
