Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives.

Can’t begin to tell you how brilliant @slapstickpicnic were doing Peter Pan tonight. My face hurts from laughing. Go see them!!

@IlkleyGazette I hope your readers don't miss this wonderful show @IlkleyPlayhouse Saw it tonight. Agree with your review. A powerfully imagined & realised picture of love, partnership & memory.Believable characters & scenes interwoven with choreographed sequences expressing what words cannot.

Your Mum waits 40 hours for an ambulance so BP don’t have to pay tax.
Your kids can’t afford University so Amazon don’t have to pay tax.
Your sister can’t get housing so Google don’t have to pay tax.
Your Gran’s on a 5 yr hospital waiting list so Vodaphone don’t have to pay tax.

@PaulChantler ‘Starve them of the oxygen of publicity’. That takes me back. Didn’t work of course cos journalists were determined that the public should be kept informed so that they had a chance of understanding other peoples actions and concerns.

[Ben Crump @AttorneyCrump]

Exactly. The misconception that affirmative action meant unqualified people have been admitted into college solely because of their race was never true and is quite frankly an ignorant interpretation. Thank you @joyannreid for setting the record straight and sharing your truth!

@gnscloz @pantsdanny Hey Gnscloz (hope I pronounced that right) so if a Leeds fan on a Euro away trip raped someone you’d think it was an intelligent argument to say that therefore Leeds fans shouldn’t be allowed to follow the team abroad?

[John Poulter @jpwisdumb]

This! Trying to help an elderly friend with no computer or smart phone get access to @ITVX ‘She needs an email address to register.’ ‘How? Surely there is another way for people like her to register?’ ‘No. Sorry.’ Unbelievable.

[Lords Communications and Digital Committee @LordsCommsCom]

📢We've published our report on Digital Exclusion:

❌ Millions across all age groups do not have basic digital skills or adequate internet access

🧑‍💻 Government has no credible plan to solve this. It must act now.

Can’t understand #billyNoMates getting criticised for her show at #Glastonbury23 One of the best live acts I saw last year.

[John Poulter @jpwisdumb]

@ZacGoldsmith How can you say he’s a kind and decent person who hasn’t hurt anyone when he was doing this? I mean, seriously? We all know the rules were there to prevent ‘hurt’ to people. And kind and decent people stuck to them.

Parliamentary democracy matters. Our democratic institutions matter and those charged with protecting and upholding them deserve respect.

If you see someone backing the liar, remember this: lie with dogs, get fleas.

Nadine Dorries, a tragedy in 4 acts.

The lights dim as our play begins...

1) Calls out cronyism in how jobs in the Lords are given out.

Something brilliant has happened. You remember a few years back we turned down an advertising opportunity for our undies brand https://t.co/vunwPCgZY5 with the Daily Mail…

@EnglandIsGone @MayorOfWY @BerylBikes @LeedsCC_News Just rented one on holiday. They’re brilliant Chris. Wouldn’t have rented a normal pushbike cos mountains! But you’ve certainly got to pedal! Feel fittest I’ve been in a while. #ebikes #Leeds

[John Poulter @jpwisdumb]

E-bikes for Leeds. Brilliant! And starting in Meanwood! Woohoo! 🚲🚲🚲 #Leeds #HealthyCities #ClimateEmergency #Fun

[David Spereall @DavidSpereall]

A new e-bike hire scheme has been confirmed for Leeds, with the system likely to be in place by September

@ITVXhelp I’m struggling to believe this. Are you seriously telling me that @ITV , a public service broadcaster, has set up @ITVX in such a way that it is inaccessible to about 5% , almost exclusively elderly, of the UK population?

[John Poulter @jpwisdumb]

@ITVXhelp Helping an elderly friend who has lost access to ITVX. We got to the register/sign up screen. She doesn’t have email, computer or smartphone. How does she register?
