@drwhopodcasters I know someone who might still be after one if it's still available

I’m a bit late to the party, but I have no doubt the Motability furore ain’t going anywhere…🫣

So here’s a handy FAQ🧵debunking the myths and headlines

You've probably seen the outrage:

"Free cars!"
"Scroungers!"
"Gaming the system!"

But what’s actually true?

@wordallgame Perfect in 3:28. Trickier than most, but I've found a couple of others more challenging this week

@JonH22601165 Can be reversed (although I'm not sure at what point it stops being possible). I was pre-diabetic and cut carbs way down, lost a couple of stone and was fine after that (although I've got work to do again now :( )

Don’t leave Twitter.
Flood it with your interests.
Art, History, Cinema, TV, Politics, Theatre, Literature, Gaming, Holidays, Nostalgia, Memes. There are many here happy to engage civilly, to listen and debate. Don’t leave this space to bile, hate & nihilism. Pass it on.

Drawing: Possible causes of your problems. I've been appalled at the scenes we've witnessed over the last few days. It's utterly unacceptable that people should have to live in fear because of the colour of their skin.

Nigel farage wants you to think that Britain has an immigration problem.

It doesn't.

Britain had a problem with millionaires hoarding wealth, egged on by politicians and the press.

Britain has a problem with racism.

Britain has a @Nigel_Farage problem.

RT if you agree.

A reminder that the last Conservative Government published a review just last year claiming that there had been "too much focus" on tackling threats from the far-right.

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

The point of any recall of Parliament should be emergency legislation to hold social media platforms responsible for incitement.

Reform’s likely rejection of such legislation will expose them for the lynch-mob inciters they are.

[Tom Whyman @HealthUntoDeath]

Someone needs to actually dare to say it: the reason we have immigration is that it is a good and desirable thing; the reason we offer people asylum is that this is the right thing to do.

[David Yelland @davidyelland]

Words matter. Nasty, brutal, extreme right wing violence WAS stoked by 'Stop the Boats' IS inflamed by calling riots 'protests' and WILL worsen if populist journalism is not called to account.

[Richard Bentall #FBPE @richardbentall.bsky.social @RichardBentall]

We need to have some clarity about the causes of the rioting over the past few days.

A 🧵about the rioters, the instigators (two fairly distinct groups of people), and the processes leading to the current unrest. 1/21
