@DavidLammy Well said. I, for one, am sorry for the abuse you've been receiving lately. Keep doing your job with decency, thoughtfulness and integrity.

Civil disobedience has been used for centuries to challenge injustice. The Stanstead 15's campaign against brutal charter flight deportations was simply another example of this. These unprecedented terrorism charges were a threat to our right to protest

Today should have been Trayvon Martin’s 24th birthday – but his life was ripped from us too soon in a grotesque act of violence and bigotry. In his memory, we must recommit ourselves to ending racism and gun violence.

Meanwhile, it's a good week to bury the news that Google just got its hands on the personal data of 1.6 million NHS patients. Without their consent. Having promised this would never happen. On account of it being "unethical"

Why the gov's "will of the people" Brexit mantra is bollocks:

1. Vote Leave cheated.
2. It was based on lies e.g. £350m for NHS.
3. Only 37% of the electorate voted for it.
4. Scotland & London voted against.
5. 69% say Brexit is going badly.
6. Public supports a #PeoplesVote.

When you're not doing so well, vote for a better life for yourself. If you are doing quite nicely, vote for a better life for others.

Under 30? This is what a Tory MP told Huffington Post. You going to take that?

Gov to rush through Green Investment Bank sell off b4 election, announcement expected soon. Reckless decision, undermines low-carbon economy

@thepatrickdaly "unite to divide" - loving the oxymoron!

@networkrail sorry,I meant Finsbury Park not Potters Bar!

[Caroline Chandler @coumbikan]

@networkrail on the same line again, bumpy the whole way between potters bar and Stevenage but particularly bad before you enter the tunnels

[Caroline Chandler @coumbikan]

@networkrail obviously the memory of the Hatfield crash looms large around here

[Caroline Chandler @coumbikan]

@networkrail just wondering if there was any news on the Cambridge - Kings Cross track issue as im back on the trains and its worse!

[Caroline Chandler @coumbikan]

@jk_rowling I think you can only take this as a compliment. Keep doing what you're doing! You make me proud :)
