Final day of #futurebuild2023.

Having my furniture on show and in use here has been brilliant. Lots of people delighted by Pegg, many encouraging conversations + good leads for future orders & design collaborations.

Thank you to Natural Building Syst…https://t.co/1Q3k6mIWpC

Testing needed!

[CAP Action @CAPAction]

The U.S. and South Korea both confirmed their first cases of coronavirus on January 20.

As of yesterday, South Korea had tested 274,000 people. The U.S. had only tested 25,000.

Trump's failure to provide widespread COVID-19 testing is costing American lives.

@coxandcoxuk I can’t find any info on your website about whether your furniture is made with sustainable timber and the workers paid a fair wage? What’s your policy re. not harming planet/people?

[Michael Buick @michaelbuick]

@We_OwnIt Great! More of this messaging! Real examples of public ownership that are working, to counteract the right wings message that this is a fantasy land spending spree ...

. @LaylaMoran we didn’t brave the rain in 2017 with @theprogalliance and help you beat the Tories by a few hundred votes for you to turn your back on the NHS. Why won’t you sign the @We_OwnIt @keepnhspublic pledge, Ms Moran?

Do you think Maggie would be voting Labour/Greens in this election? In a climate emergency, isn’t it time for us to put ���responding with common purpose’ before The Market? Can we trust Boris to do that?! #labour #Conservatives #GreenParty #climateemergency #Election2019

National emergency march against the Turkish invasion.
I’ve felt sickened by Trump’s betrayal of the Kurds this week. Heartbreaking.
