Pro Remain (still defiantly) and anti-Tory. Love books, writing, music, dance and mountain walks. Retired from university careers work.

Important message from a journalist who, sadly, cannot speak out because of his contract of employment.

@mrjamesob Not unhinged. Deliberate gaslighting.

[ProtectPatients @ProtectPatient5]

@campbellclaret @DarringtonSibyl Why aren’t the government buying #Evusheld for the #immunocompromised who are still not protected from #Covid. They are abandoned for another year and can’t get a voice to speak up for them. 500K + families still #Shielding! Even the petition suspended

For seventy years, Queen Elizabeth II stood as the head of our country. But in spirit, she stood amongst us.

Theresa May, the all-round entertainer. Who knew?

In France the Government is telling people energy consumption needs to be reduced by 10% this winter to prevent black-outs. People are being asked to set their thermostats at no higher than 19 degrees centigrade & to take care with energy use. Responsible government.

Boris "delivered" the biggest fall in the pound since 1984.
The most food banks Britain has ever had. The biggest divide between rich and poor. I could go on...

[Jane Pooler @jane_pooler]

@RichardJMurphy Didn’t you mean outside the EU here, not outside Brexit? Everything else in your thread seems scarily feasible .. thank you for your insights

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Labour would freeze energy bills and pay for it with a windfall tax on oil and gas companies.

Only Labour is on the side of working people and struggling families. https://t.co/1aaK4hgLNu

@JMPSimor Why? With what justification?

[Jane Pooler @jane_pooler]

And Classics axed too @RoehamptonUni @UoRClassics - a travesty. The staff had done so many innovative things to make Classics relevant & exciting. As an ex university careers adviser, I know that humanities graduates can go on to amazing careers - @AGCAS please speak out!

[Jane Pooler @jane_pooler]

So sad to see what’s happened to the Humanities depts. at my nearby unversity, Univ of Roehampton - English, History, Philosophy - all axed in one fell swoop. The university has lost such amazing talent - here’s one example - @UR_ECW and @NCRCL

[Dr Alison Waller @alisonwaller]

After 15 years working with the wonderful people of @UR_ECW and @NCRCL, tomorrow I'll be leaving Roehampton. I've been privileged to work with such incredible students and colleagues, and will miss this special community so much. But I'm looking forward to new adventures.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Free school meals must be rolled out ASAP for kids returning in September.

Surely this is something we can all agree on.

Let’s get it done.

[Charles Tannock @CharlesTannock]

We will always remember the lies and false promises. We former Remainers are not getting behind Brexit anytime soon, project based on deceit.

[Deborah Meaden 🇺🇦 @DeborahMeaden]

Please watch and share. This is far too true for anyone to feel comfortable.Our Democracy is in deep trouble.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

Do the Tories realise that they can only govern with the consent of the people of this country, and it can be withdrawn?

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

With the exception of Anna Ford, I think the key people in this @ByDonkeys video should be behind bars for misconduct in public office. #NotMovingOnTilTheLotOfThemAreGone

[Jane Pooler @jane_pooler]

Devastating news. We / society need humanities and the skills set they develop more than ever .. widespread fears about student debt - understandable; utilitarian focus on employability after graduating as central plank of gov policy? We are throwing out baby with the bath water

[Mark Carter @markleecarter]

I am fucking furious and heartbroken seeing the closure of so many Roehampton courses laid out like this.
