...Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world...
And that's all I try to do...as a Storyworld Producer for Publishing and TV FILM

@PinterFreshBeer @BrewDog Great Idea I'm sure, but having an answer phone at the office would be a better one, or answering the phone during your opening hours that you advertise, or responding to emails or having a functioning chat facility. A novel approach to customer care? @pinterfreshbeer

[Dawn Treacher @DSquiffy]

There is a wealth of great books out there. The best sellers you hear about have big publishers behind them. Don't forget the smaller publishers. Read, share, review. Spread the word. Help an author.

@BBCr4today @Emmabarnett
Re your piece with two teen girls speaking about boys toxic behaviour. For real insight you need to talk to boys about how their group dynamics work re girls. The girls said they can't call it out, boys feel exactly the same empower them =change happens?

@SeanTwerton @Colin4Bath @bathnes I can observe Independent groups exist all over the UK, they include ex Lab, Con, Reform, Green LibDem all have had enough of how many stream parties operate. Such alliances are about increasing the profile of the Independent movement = freedom to deliver what you believe in.

[John Lomas-Bullivant @kickbackbooks]

@JenWilliams_FT - Anybody covering that in this election there are 400+ Independent Candidates In 2019 it was 187. They are largely centrist & like many-most voters they have had enough of Party Politics I bet you Indie votes in 2024 is highest ever on record! The Party is Over?

[John Lomas-Bullivant @kickbackbooks]

@BBCMarkEaston Mark does this all mean you're preparing an insightful piece on the 100's of Indie Candidates across the UK offering an alternative view of how politics could work? Or are you like the rest of BBC News just going to be shocked when people like @jason_zadrozny win? If not why not?

[IndependenT Platform @IndependenTPlat]

Voting ends July 4th—let's choose someone we can believe in, not just something.

[John Lomas-Bullivant @kickbackbooks]

Worth a listen...kind of think your Local Independent Candidate will deliver the kind of things this Clacton voter wants...and tens of thousands of others like her too #newdemocracy

[John Lomas-Bullivant @kickbackbooks]

That's what you call commitment!

If you truly want change, a different, decent kind of politics and for Britain to be THE democracy that is the envy of the world....An Independent Vote is the only way this will ever happen. Vote Abi, Vote Pedro! #newdemocracy

[Abi McGuire @AbiMcGuireIndi]

‘An Independent Vote isn’t a wasted vote. Nothing Changes if nothing Changes.’

- Pedro Da Conceicao, independent candidate for Ealing Southhall.

I'm up to 'R' in the list of constituencies. My mission to contact all the Indie Candidates I can find. 130+ emails so far. Why bother? Indies are the future of Democracy! They hate the antagonistic tribalism of Party Politics and want consensus. Isn't that you? #newdemocracy

[John Lomas-Bullivant @kickbackbooks]

@bbclaurak The Party Is Over MP's and Democracy have lost respect globally because the party system is broken its no longer a viable way to manage a 1st world country. We need Change but only Independent MP's can truly deliver the change. Sadly nobody in the media has the wit to cover this

[John Lomas-Bullivant @kickbackbooks]

Political parties advocate for democracy but they are the ones fuelling disillusionment with politics. THEY are now a divisive corrosive force subtly eroding the foundations of trust we should have in democracy and the people we elect to represent us Vote for Indies #newdemocracy

[John Lomas-Bullivant @kickbackbooks]

Deciding to run as an Independent Candidate takes a huge amount of courage. Please don't dismiss them. Democracy is losing respect because the party system is broken its no longer a way to manage a 1st world country. Change is coming but it's Independent MP's that are the change.

[ColinBlackburn4Bath @Colin4Bath]

It was a big decision for me to run for MP. I decided to stand after many, many conversations with people who told me they just didn’t feel they had anyone they wanted to vote for.

Hopefully having an Independent candidate on the ballot paper, who will represent the City of Bath instead of a political party, will solve that problem!

Think Independent
Vote Independent

[John Lomas-Bullivant @kickbackbooks]

@Abi4MP @BBCr4today Great to hear there was a positive outcome! I will pass this on to other Indie Candidates across the country I'm contacting and advisee then to push hard and not get fobbed off! Why would you not want Candidates who can truly speak freely to be part of the discussion ;)

[John Lomas-Bullivant @kickbackbooks]

@Abi4MP @BBCr4today Abi, spotted that you weren't able to take part in your local Hustings held by R4-Today. Bolton West is next up - guess what, no Independent Candidates standing there. Time to clarify if this is a deliberate strategy to avoid Indie Candidates! If so, time to open up on BBC DG!

[John Lomas-Bullivant @kickbackbooks]

@thehistoryguy Heard you on R4 and agree with your points BUT what I really dislike about our annual D-Day flashbacks is our utter inability to discuss that those we fought are now are allies/friends. IMO commentators like you need to push this to the front of such dialogue?

[John Lomas-Bullivant @kickbackbooks]

Super delighted to see this is coming out. Some of us were big into AI as far back back in 2018 when Neil and I began working on this! I think the spookiest idea we have (plot spoiler) is how AI can and I'm sure soon will enable you to talk with the dead!
