[Reunite Families UK 🧡 @ReuniteDivFamil]

Today is a dark day for families as the new spouse visa rules including a higher Minimum Income Requirement of £29k come into force.
This is an attack on everyone’s human right to a family life #The29kPriceTagOnLove #familiesbelongtogether #LoveInLimbo

I haven't tweeted in a very long time, but if you see this and are a UK resident, please sign and share. The UK wants to increase the #PriceOnLove for 'foreign spouses' like mine - don't let them! @ReuniteDivFamil

@RoyalAirForce We are a British-Israeli family stranded in Israel and booking commercial flights home to the UK only for them to be cancelled. Can you help us?

[Natalia Bremner @NataliaBremner]

I will still worry about you guys working in #education (as in all public services) consistently giving too much because, you can't help but give too much can you?

But actually, you guys are all on holiday now aren't you? Bloody skivers 😉

[Natalia Bremner @NataliaBremner]

So here's my big announcement, I'm no longer a member of the #teacher5oclockclub. I'm now back to being a 'normal' insomniac who stays up too late half-watching TV.
It was fun while it lasted guys, but ultimately I didn't feel welcome and appreciated (not blaming anyone).

[Natalia Bremner @NataliaBremner]

@DrPeteKirwan My hot take is: Sometimes in chasing 'usefulness' we render ourselves 'useless'. And often when we allow ourselves to indulge in the 'useless' we find 'useful' ideas/things/feelings/moments.

Sorry you felt angry. Nolite bastardium te carban-whatever-it-was.

[Natalia Bremner @NataliaBremner]

@AaronBastani Is this a pregnancy announcement-? I think most Dads work out by limboing below and/or hovering just above the incredibly low bar we set for male parents, don't they? 😉

On a serious note: little kids love to be lifted and thrown around w/reps (again, again!) so... #dadworkout

@RishiSunak Read the room @RishiSunak. To paraphrase the Declaration of (Hu)man Rights, free speech does not mean that you can say whatever the f*** you like without regard for anyone else. (And you've got my so-called #ripoffdegree to thank for that).

[Natalia Bremner @NataliaBremner]

Say what you see 😂

[Natalia Bremner @NataliaBremner]

@MajorPazuzu @10DowningStreet Thank you-! 😂

[Natalia Bremner @NataliaBremner]

@symmo1969 @10DowningStreet Oh @RishiSunak. Excellent use of the passive tense to avoid taking any personal responsibility whatsoever. However your moral bankruptcy and lack of emotional intelligence is rather too obvious. Lacks nuance.

Perhaps you need to go back to university and study something useless?

[Natalia Bremner @NataliaBremner]

@kreeve @10DowningStreet I see things like this and I feel like I'm living in a dystopia. I had to double check that this was a real Twitter account. Like has anyone with a brain actually looked at this-??

[Natalia Bremner @NataliaBremner]

@maddieaf6 They are a joke aren't they? 'Protecting' students by making universities even more financially insecure than they already are-?

I've worked as a lecturer. If @RishiSunak actually wants to improve the UK university system, maybe he should speak to the 'experts' (students&staff)

[Natalia Bremner @NataliaBremner]

@EllieMRoberts Needless to say the university disagreed and refused to cough up 🤷.

But thank you for encouraging others to think ahead and make fixed term staff feel welcome.

[Natalia Bremner @NataliaBremner]

@EllieMRoberts But if you give the fixed term staff time to prepare for their teaching then you are (indirectly-?) asking them to do work before their contract starts, no? I tried to argue that I was effectively working before my 'first day' of work in order to qualify for maternity pay...

@MartinSLewis @bbc5live Full disclosure: I am #vegan. #Hatersgonnahate

Veggie chilli with tinned tomatoes and kidney beans (or even baked beans if you want?) plus carrots, courgettes, pepper, sweetcorn + seasoning (incl cumin).

Cook it slowly in a big pot and then enjoy the (even tastier) leftovers 😋

[Natalia Bremner @NataliaBremner]

Protecting, or oppressing? Those students and tax payers look pretty squashed down there. Perhaps someone in your comms team missed out on a 'pointless' 2nd year module in semiotics-? @ucu @uculeeds @UcuYork

[UK Prime Minister @10DowningStreet]

We’re protecting students and taxpayers against rip-off degree courses.

We’re limiting the number of students taking courses that:

❎ Have high drop-out rates
❎ Don’t lead to good jobs
❎ Leave young people with poor pay and high debts

[Natalia Bremner @NataliaBremner]

We're all at a standstill on the M6 S because of an accident between J23 and J24. I'm about 500m ahead of this MacTaggart Bros lorry now but I can still hear the sheep bleating. They have visibly thick wool, potential for overheating and dehydration.🌱💚 #FriendsNotFood

@RivkahBrown Admittedly this graphic was probably produced by an underpaid intern, but there's so much to unpack here. The Crown Estate's profits are represented by 3 £1 coins-? And the sovereign grant looks like a wad of cash in an envelope shoved through a letterbox-? And the asterisk...
