Can we finally dispense with:

“if you were actually suicidal, you wouldn’t be asking for help. Therefore, you are not suicidal. So therefore we’re not going to help”.

This shit kills people.

Hello, I am Rachel, Tony’s wife, just to let you all know that Tony passed away from cancer on 21st August, an illness he did not share readily but dealt with with such tenacity as he still had so much more he wanted to give. X

@nippermaddog It really is fantastic. This walk is about 5 minutes from my house. I love it.

[Tony Roberts @FosterChangeUK]

It’s tough, living in Italy. Especially with all these mountains blocking the view. But I manage.

[Tony Roberts @FosterChangeUK]

@ProfLAppleby @ONS I wonder if behind the overall “no change” there are some significant changes?

For example: increase of suicides of people with x characteristic and corresponding decrease in suicide of people with y characteristic.

[Tony Roberts @FosterChangeUK]

So this is who Twitter recommends for me now?

Absolutely not a platform for hate and misogyny…

What a fucking shitshow of an app.

Ex-richest dude on earth finds a 10 year old meme.

Actual base level of Maslow’s hierarchy is lack of wifi

@BettyBlue168 I don’t like to speculate about people’s “professional qualifications” but something really is really bugging me.

Gotta love them “scare quotes”

[Tony Roberts @FosterChangeUK]

@nippermaddog Hi! Hate it when that happens! Glad you’re still here 👍🏼

[Tony Roberts @FosterChangeUK]

@adamfare1996 I think the reason they are so anti- abortion is simply because they want more people to kill.

Anti-abortion
Anti-Universal healthcare
Anti gun-laws
Pro-guns
Pro-death penalty

Elon “free speech absolutist” Musk, ladies and gentlemen.

[Lisa Bloom @LisaBloom]

Twitter workers, many of whom I represent, were FINALLY given their "severance agreements" on Saturday.

They are really settlement agreements which SILENCE WORKERS FOR LIFE and and require them to give up important legal rights.

Let's discuss. 1/

Is it practical for the PM to use the same services (he is responsible for underfunding) as everyone else?

Well, fucking yes, actually.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Richard Madeley: Is it practical for Rishi Sunak wait for hours on end to use chronically underfunded NHS services like everyone else? He's got a country to run.

Chronically underfunded, Madeley screws up live on tv.

You’re not supposed to say that part out loud.

[Tony Roberts @FosterChangeUK]

@elouisesylvia Your hair looks fabulous 👌🏼

[Tony Roberts @FosterChangeUK]

Don’t be angry with the strikers.

Be angry with the government and employers.

Everyone deserves a decent salary, decent terms and decent working conditions.

[Tony Roberts @FosterChangeUK]

@Mlong2872 @lhfang Yeah, you’re right. There is no way Trump would have the capability of pulling this off. I mean, the guy thought drinking bleach could cure covid…
