I found this app called X hidden in my unused apps folder. Ooh look, it’s Twitter. Haven’t been on here in a while.
Remember that 1959 film of Nevil Shute’s On The Beach? This feels a bit like where they look through the periscope and see all the empty streets.
Hello? Anybody?

Back once more in Hay,
Tonight I’ll be seeing @Brian_Bilston, who may
Read some of his poems.

If not, well I won’t be bitter,
I can always read them on twitter.

Or I can queue for a bit,
To buy his book,
He might even sign it.

SHOCKING FACT: If you earned £40,000 a day from when Jesus was born to the present day, you would still not make as much as Shell did in profits last year

I note how politicians' advice at the moment is "try to avoid requiring A&E" as if folk were planning to have a heart attack next week just for the hell of it.

Dear Boris. I heeded your sage advice on buying a new kettle, that it would save me £10 on my energy bill and so I bought 350 kettles, thus saving £3,500. But at £20 each the kettles cost me £7000. #EnergyCrisis #ToryBritain

BREAKING 🚨🪨: We’ve built a boulder barrier 200km off the coast of Cornwall to stop the industrial fishing frenzy in a supposedly protected area.

My name is Mike Wood. This man’s name is also Mike Wood. We are not the same person. He (@mikejwood) is conservative MP for Dudley South. He voted to allow raw sewage to be discharged into our rivers and seas. Remember him at the next GE. #sewageparty #pollution. @conservatives.

Greenpeace UK is taking the govt to court to stop @Shell’s Jackdaw gas project.

Jackdaw won't lower energy bills, but it will make the climate crisis worse.

It's time to #StopJackdaw @KwasiKwarteng.

Hey Brexiteers,

You see the Dover chaos today?
You see the 1000s of families with their holidays ruined?
‼️YOU DID THAT‼️

You can blame the French for not having enough staff all you want, but if they didn't have to do Brexit checks, they wouldn't need as many staff!
