Technologies rarely capture widespread public attention - the remarkable ITV drama about the #HorizonScandal a notable exception - but they are quietly remaking our world. See my piece in the forthcoming "Resisting Borders and Technologies of Violence."

The vote share needed to win a majority in Parliament is getting lower and lower.
Whether it's Labour, the Tories or Reform: full control of our laws, our public services and foreign policy should never be in the hands of someone most people don't support.
We need #PRnow.
I've been shocked by the outrageous smears being pushed by Elon Musk - not least against one of @TheGreenParty's hardworking councillors @MothinAli. We must stand up to this right-wing billionaire's attempt to subvert our democracy - here's how: https://t.co/aWcBuwsgFz
Eight things the world must do to avoid the worst of #ClimateChange
1. Stop burning #FossilFuels

Last year, Southern Water released raw sewage into our waters for 317,285 hours, up 116% on the year before. Now they are asking Ofwat if they can put up our bills by a whopping 91% to pay for their failure? It's an outrage. What an absolute scam. https://t.co/GBVcFUzgY4
Westminster may be gripped by election fever now, but in other news tomorrow Ofwat will be deciding if greedy & failing water companies can hike bills by up to 91%. I joined nearly 40 MPs across parties calling on Ofwat to reject their outrageous demand.

More information on the issue with the new digital-only immigration status for EU citizens in @haymarketbooks new book Resisting Borders - https://t.co/zjjlbdjqiR
Almost five times more EU citizens have been refused entry to the UK since Brexit. We need reliable proof of status, which we own. We can't be asking permission from a flawed digital system every time we need to prove our status. https://t.co/ymjKknstN5

Another system outage from the Home Office. Millions cannot prove their immigration status right now. If you're in an airport trying to get home and airlines ask you to prove you've got the right to live in the UK, you're left showing them this screen:

Man darf nicht warten,bis aus dem Schneeball eine Lawine geworden ist. Man muss den rollenden Schneeball zertreten.Die Lawine hält keiner mehr auf.Sie ruht erst, wenn sie alles unter sich begraben hat.Das ist die Lehre, das ist das Fazit dessen,was uns 1933 widerfuhr.
