[Mental Health Foundation @mentalhealth]

It's World Suicide Prevention Day, and we're spreading the message that it's ok to talk about suicide.
If someone tells you they are having suicidal thoughts, there are ways we can make them feel safe and supported in that conversation. Read more here: https://t.co/EaAkrFXW4v

Great to hear Andy Burnham advocating for a continuation of funding for Housing First to support people experiencing the most severe disadvantage.

📉Our Head of Policy @SophieBoobis will present findings on the positive long-term holistic outcomes of Housing First later today.

[Homeless Link @HomelessLink]

Our recent research shows that #HousingFirst delivers clear long-term improvements for residents across health, mental health, contact with the criminal justice system and beyond.

Of all the mindless acts of thuggery this for me is not just amongst the worst, it's also the most nonsensical. This brilliant organisation who I was proud to work for, will help anyone, regardless of income or background . Including you and your families, you ignorant people

[CitizensAdvice @CitizensAdvice]

Last night Citizens Advice Sunderland's office was badly damaged following riots in the city.

We're working with the team in Sunderland to provide support to them and help them be there for the people who need advice going forward.

Our services are closed on weekends (1/2)

@OwenJones84 I think you'll find most football fans are often critical of their own side Owen. I think your analysis and language has become too extreme even for people like me who share many of your political views. You are in danger of alienating allies not winning new ones. That's my truth

[Nigel Keir @NigelKeir]

What an astonishing career. As an undergraduate she helped foster my interest in mental health and was a really supportive lecturer and tutor.

[University of Essex @Uni_of_Essex]

Professor Joan Busfield has been at the heart of life at @Uni_of_Essex + @essexsociology for over 58 years - almost our entire history!

We awarded her an honorary fellowship at #EssexGraduation for her amazing contribution.

A letter to the new UK government... 👇#generalection2024

[Nigel Keir @NigelKeir]

@OwenJones84 On a national vote level maybe yes. If however you live in a Conservative/Labour marginal seat voting Green or
independent could let a Tory in. Maybe you don't want a Tory MP. Not letting the Conservatives or a Conservative back in has to be the main priority surely?

[Rick Henderson @Rickviews]

As a nation we often hope to be top of the league…..tragically not this one though 😔 it’s time for a reset of our broken system #EndingHomelessnessTogether @HomelessLink

[Nigel Keir @NigelKeir]

This. Was speaking to someone recently who was in a band that were invited to play at one of the main stages at a major festival . They declined as they wouldn't get a guaranteed camping space and only their expenses would be covered. No fee . Maybe that was a good deal!

Wanna be broke? Form a band.“Artists are the biggest employers in the industry. They pay for tour manager, session musicians, agent, manager, crew, insurance, travel,hotels, equipment, rehearsals. People don’t know this all comes out of the artists pocket” https://t.co/rFERVQg4iC

13 years since Winterbourne View and STILL more than 2,000 people with learning disabilities and/or autism are stuck in long-stay hospitals

[Polly Neate @pollyn1]

Evidence from ⁦@HomelessLink⁩ on role that no-fault evictions play in rising homelessness. So will the government use its #RentersReformBill to protect tenants? Or how to pressure from landlords on the backbenches? Join @Shelter to keep pressure on https://t.co/uCf7rCFHuH

[Homeless Link @HomelessLink]

Threatening people sleeping rough with fines and prison will stigmatise those of us facing homelessness and make it harder to provide support. Join us and @crisis_uk and contact your MP urging them to stand against these plans. https://t.co/myQuAFV2h5

@Oysterband1 That's a shame but you've earned your retirement from touring. I've followed you throughout and you're always impressive live & on record. My 28 year old son remembers his first gig seeing you in Southampton. He said By Northern Light had a profound impact on a 13 year old!

[Nigel Keir @NigelKeir]

@LiamONeill_Keir @prodnose A few years too late. Finished at Workington in 1961 . He was at Pompey at the time of the first top flight game played under floodlights although he didn't actually play in the game....against your team Newcastle!

[Nigel Keir @NigelKeir]

@WestMidRailway why do you cancel the Leamington to Nuneaton service so often? It really is a completely unreliable service.

[Scope @scope]

Let's talk about duty.

Disabled people do not have a duty to work unsuitable jobs. Let's get that clear.

The government *does* have a duty to not dehumanise the million disabled people who want to work but are denied the chance.

It’s a duty the government is failing on 🧵 1/7

“No surprise” that the Rwanda scheme was found to be unlawful, yet Ms Braverman was happy to spend £140m of taxpayers’ money on it.

If there’s a need for an urgent new law, it should be aimed at recouping costs from politicians whose vanity and incompetence squander public funds
