From today all bus and tram fares in South Yorkshire cost no more than £2. We're bringing in fare caps more than 2 months ahead of a national cap to make getting about more affordable. 🧵1/5

My new book came out last week, a retelling of Aesop’s Fables which brings the storyteller back to his Ancient Greek roots. Beautifully illustrated by Robert Ingpen & with lots of little fables, it would be perfect for family bedtime reading. Check it out: https://t.co/ePgTP6NKmp

On the day govt formally announce Channel 4 privatisation they have refused #C4News requests for an interview and no Tory MPs approached will do it either. We were just about to interview one and he cancelled moments before. Do they really want to ‘unleash potential’?

In Jan/Feb 2022, Covid is still increasing the winter respiratory death toll by around 50% compared to a typical year.

As we know, vaccines and Omicron have made Covid far less lethal on a per-infection basis, but sheer volume of infections means *risk of death remains elevated*

[Kit Yates @Kit_Yates_Maths]

I had hoped we wouldn't be here again, but cases, hospitalisations and deaths (albeit slightly) are all rising on the dashboard.
This is a consequence of how we have chosen to manage the pandemic in the UK.

[Tim Spector MD (Prof) @timspector]

Thanks for all your letters of support! We are not giving up! One reason we at ZOE have been shut down is seen in this graph - where the true infections are five times more than the official dashboard and going up fast- thanks 4 logging!

Thank you @marksandspencer

My Hermes lost my M&S return & wouldn’t help. M&S have refunded the whole order within 24hrs & given me a £10 gift voucher.
That’s good customer service.

When you hear Rishi Sunak propose a £200 *loan* as a solution for households facing energy bills rocketing by £693, remember:

He's the richest MP, who last night in Parliament pushed through a tax cut for bankers worth £1,000,000,000 a year.

Sunak's on their side, not yours.

[James Meadway @meadwaj]

£700 extra on gas bill is a disaster. But the gas cap rise is political decision, not some force of nature. Gov't could halt it, levy windfall tax on super-profits, bring failing suppliers into public ownership. Instead they prioritise profits over living standards.

Every time you hear a Tory politician saying that there is no alternative to higher bills, remember that energy firms have paid out £200 BILLION to shareholders since 2010.
