@lawrencecg Nouveau Twitter étiquette or not. The fact remains they most definitely *are* fkn morons! Chapeau mate!

[Wiltshire Council #WiltshireTogether @wiltscouncil]

We thank everyone for doing what they can to support the people of Ukraine during this awful and heartbreaking time for them.

We’ve set up a webpage which details some of the local and national ways you can provide support if you want to.

Far right extremist Tommy Robinson says he’s bankrupt and can’t pay the money he owes Jamal Hijazi, a Syrian refugee he libelled.

If we all help @hopenothate raise £50k they can investigate and make him pay up. I’ve chipped in - can you join in too? https://t.co/qNLBqAe3zu

@EmilyP_Smith Def pros & cons. Signif embarrassment for Tories in the ‘bubble’. He’ll (presumably) take Lab whip. Sends message to Red Wall swing voters, they got it wrong in 2019. But,are shallow careerists who don’t really understand w/class issues actually of use to Labour? I say “No!”

Well, @AWMurrison I just wondered if, given the incinerator proposal in Westbury, which you publicly oppose; have you added your name to those of the other MPs calling for a moratorium?

[Geraint Davies @GeraintDaviesMP]

Ultra-fine particulates breach waste incineration filters and attack vital organs & increase Covid risk.Let’s halt waste incineration growth & tax incineration for people & planet https://t.co/owgz5lXcqO

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

This is important.

Tbf our MP may have just been preparing to stand to speak, or just finishing speaking. Nonetheless, he & his mates don’t exactly cut an inspiring picture of responsible and wise political leadership here…. Or maybe they have alien invader immunity to human airborne viruses?!

Although I disagreed with the direction of Labour’s managerial travel at the time, there was a certain objective strategic logic to Blairism. I see no such logic now. An excellent synopsis of why…👇

A reminder that just as the third way is economically unsuited to the present moment, so too it is unrepeatable in political terms. https://t.co/2TYz20EGiV

@EmilyP_Smith Without a doubt this is correct! As a DWP worker of many years, I’d seen the erosion of state support in many guises - and look where we are now…

[John Rickards @johnofbath]

Refreshing to witness facts and truth in political debate!

Dawn sees it…and calls it out. I’m re-tweeting as a service on behalf of undeniable truth.

[Dawn Butler ✊🏾💙 @DawnButlerBrent]

Here's the deleted tweet, It's some of my best work 🤣😆 who knows where the pressure has come from to delete 🤔

But If you like please RT and share. I won't be intimidated for telling the truth. Our Democracy needs honesty to function.

[Young Epilepsy @youngepilepsy]

Well done to 11 year old Harry, who took on the challenge of virtually cycling 100k in an incredible time of just over 4 hours!

A huge thank you to Harry for his amazing efforts in supporting children and young people living with epilepsy.

@EmilyP_Smith @johnmcdonnellMP Me too! *two* McDonnells in one Branch!? Change is coming!😀✊ I was holding my breath though - could have been a very depressing result…

[John Rickards @johnofbath]

@EmilyP_Smith Have it made into a big, f*#*- off sized enamel badge of eternal honour and enduring political values…

[John Rickards @johnofbath]

While also making sure it scored towards an Investors in People accreditation…

I have been thrown out of Parliament for saying what we all know:

Boris Johnson has lied to the House of Commons and the country over and over again.

But I’ve got news for the Tories, I will never stop speaking truth to power!

[John Rickards @johnofbath]

@EmilyPSLabour @LoveIsland Well the sun’s out early today Emily. You could do the top lip for a matching pair if you’re not careful!😀

[John Rickards @johnofbath]

Love this. Barbed, succinct, sooo topical but most of all, bloody hilarious!!! #miaow
