Someone on your team says: “Our goal should be to move Metric X up Y% this half.”

Your inclination is to nod, say “Cool” and get on with the actual building.

But pause!

The goals you agree to determine what you build. So consider them carefully.

8 questions to ask👇

[Trees Not Cars MCR @TreesNotCars]

We have 1 WEEK left to raise funds to cover our legal fees 🙃

Our court hearing is on 8th Jan 👩‍⚖️

If 300 generous humans donate £10 each we’ll reach our target 🎯 🥳

THANK YOU to all who have donated so far 💕

No car park at CRP because of our appeal 👏🏻https://t.co/YUCGivUzL4

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

I worry that this seismic change to our constitution is not being given the attention it urgently warrants. So I'll say again:

The government wants to abolish jury trials in order to address a court backlog caused by its own cuts, under the pretence that it was caused by Covid.

[Chisomo Kalinga, PhD @ChisomoWrites]

Brits questioning why race protests are happening in the 🇬🇧 have soul searching to do. @afuahirsch wrote about why Britain needs to contend with its legacy of exporting white suprematist ideology through its colonies and how this manifests in 🇬🇧 & abroad https://t.co/5Wj990Zxsq

[Have I Got News For You @haveigotnews]

‘It’s time to move on’ says government that’s worked harder to safeguard one man’s job in three days than it has to protect frontline workers and care home residents in three months.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

We know that the government’s actions have made it seem like the rules no longer apply.

So don’t follow the guidelines for them.

Please do it for the NHS instead - and for your family.

And we will get through this together - with or without those in power.

Thank you x

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Dear @MattHancock,

NHS staff are dying because you have not provided enough personal protective equipment.

To insinuate staff have misused the limited equipment they have been given is an utter disgrace - they deserve so much better right now.

It promises to be a good one 🙂

So how many @Conservatives have resigned?

[Amazing Human Slash Genius @Extinction65mya]

Folks I have about an equal number of UK and US people I follow on Twitter. Please try to be specific about which fascist autocrat has done what.
