@Scarfer13 @JeremyVineOn5 @AvaSantina @thecarolemalone @theJeremyVine Refugees are here legally. It’s just the government who tries to make out they are not.

So good to have a shortlist of books on economics.

[Anthony McGowan @anthony_mcgowan]

The brilliant Rebecca Campbell, with whom I co-wrote How to Teach Economics to Your Dog, recommends her top 5 accessible books on economics. https://t.co/nt4VehRSI0

Great to see Oswestry School has reintroduced a library. Even more important, they have appointed a librarian, since a library without one is just a room with books

[CWU @CWUnews]

Tomorrow @RishiSunak will launch an all out attack on the right to strike.

RT if you stand with every single union that chooses to make a stand and fight on behalf of their members.

It’s time to pick a side.

The negative power of large companies.

[Julian Gough @juliangough]

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.)
It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public.

The UK government's ruthless and reckless policies that "go for growth” require us all to ask the essential questions that Donella Meadows - mother of systems thinking - set out decades ago. So join me in answering these questions... 1/n

I was parched and asked in Toppings, Leith Walk, if they had a coffee bar. No, but they served complimentary coffees. A glass of water too? So in a couple of minutes I was served this. Only then I said I was a writer. They produced ten of my books to sign. Now that’s a bookshop.

@AvaSantina We saw your reporters outside the Norwich hustings. Denied access! How disgraceful. Thank them for coming to Norwich. These Tories must be held to account for so much! Especially Brexit lies!

[Russell England 💉💙🇪🇺🧳🌻🇺🇦🗿🌍 @RussellEngland]

@AvaSantina The Tories don't like accountability

[Ava-Santina @AvaSantina]

We’ve made some more “favourable” coverage. Hopefully this will get us into the next hustings!

Democracy in action!

[Ava-Santina @AvaSantina]

Journo @edcmpbl stuck outside Norwich hustings.

Thanks for giving us a *different* story to cover.

[Ava-Santina @AvaSantina]

Just been told by Conservative comms that our coverage is not appreciated by the party and our reporter will not be allowed into tonight's hustings.

I'm in the Westminster lobby - meaning Parliament recognise us as "actual" journalists.

Fair and free media!

[Great School Libraries @GreatSchLibs]

We were delighted to see @Booktrust's #LifeChangingLibraries campaign summarising the positive impact of school libraries on 4 key areas...

1️⃣ Reading engagement
2️⃣ Learning behaviours
3️⃣ Learning provision
4️⃣ Wellbeing

That's why every school needs a library! ✨

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

A bit of energy maths.

Ofgem designs the price cap set to limit "the level of profits an energy supplier can make to 1.9%"

So worth noting if you double the price cap. While the margin stays the same. The total profits can double.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

As Chief Secretary to the Treasury in 2017

Truss “gave final green light” to closing down UK’s biggest gas storage

As DEFRA Secretary in 2015

Truss cut £235m from Environment Agency budget leading to “doubled sewage discharge”

Don’t think she’s gonna fix this one for us folks

[Adam Bienkov @AdamBienkov]

"We stand for freedom and democracy," says Liz Truss, whose own government illegally shut down parliament, restricted the right to protest and is now imposing voter ID laws which risk disenfranchising millions of voters across the UK.

A list of things that can be signs of autism (especially in women).

Daily burnout. Needing to nap or be away from people daily to maintain or reduce feeling burnout.

Being uncomfy around babies and children.

High creativity, and preferring to spend time in fictional worlds.
