@HelenOConnorNHS, I'm looking for people who are in unpredictable or unstable work (potentially like outsourced NHS workers) to participate in study examining work and wellbeing. Might you be able to help?

[Olly Offord @ollyofford]

Do you know someone in London in insecure or low paid work who might like to have a chat with me for some research into work and wellbeing? #precarious #gigeconomy #Wellbeing

[Olly Offord @ollyofford]

@LexyCasey @DanielSailofsky Hi Casey, I'm afraid I'm not able to offer incentives for participating. Are you interested in taking part?

A lot of people have asked me my views of the leadership contest. Truthfully, I have been incredibly hurt so far. Hurt originating with the statements @_KateForbes has made and since stood by. I, like most people in Scotland, could not care less about someone’s religion. (1/10)

@adamj_griff @kyry5 Where I think the post has a point is the game storyline would have shown more shades, more nuance, & more emotional depth. It would also have required more than one episode. In that way, the actual episode was a compromise.
(coming from a place where I had misty eyes at the end)

@gregorioingles @scottygb Oh. Absolutely not. Sorry. Was just giving my own rationale / preference.

[Olly Offord @ollyofford]

@scottygb I like this reason. My second reason is that it includes everyone and almost deliberately blurs the borders of gender and sexuality. (maybe that's two reasons). It removes the need to classify yourself so rigidly and asserts that we're all on the same team.

@PaulBivand @racheljanetwolf Rising relative poverty = rising inequality?

[Olly Offord @ollyofford]

Gahhhh. But 3 stops 2 & 4, given that everyone is 99% sure we're in a recession! For someone advocating universal maths today, this doesn't add up.

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

As your Prime Minister you need to know what my focus will be, so you can hold me to account directly on whether it is delivered.

@bradleyelstub One of my bugbears of an otherwise outstanding finale - all the contestants talking about how 'proud' they were to make it. Babes, you're there cos the traitors didn't think you had a clue!

[Olly Offord @ollyofford]

@harrisonjbrock We don't want Matt and Aaron corrupted by this kind of trend jumping. But we do need them to enter a more solid thirst phase.

[Olly Offord @ollyofford]

@harrisonjbrock Is this when they were recorded? But they couldn't be released before the TV series?

[Olly Offord @ollyofford]

@PakisRights Although the flaw in this one, is that Wilf was right: he did need to make it look like they got out the last traitor.

[Olly Offord @ollyofford]

@PakisRights This. Kieran was allied with Wilf... Until Wilf broke that trust. 50 grand not enough for the bloke. If it was, and he was as kind spirited as he made out at the end, he would have recruited Hannah. https://t.co/vzpcRWktLR

[𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐮𝐚 | KILLⱯH @CoopyJ]

@PakisRights Not a chance in hell. Kieran beat Wilf at his own game: betrayal. There's nothing more to it. Everyone is so upset that all of Wilf's hard work got undone without Kieran so much as lifting a finger. Man is a genius tbh.

[Olly Offord @ollyofford]

@jonathansimons I thought this is what made it gripping / hilarious / insane. Watching assumadly sane people completely lose their minds over absolutely nothing (e.g. Tom's announcement at breakfast)

@sharrond62 Hi Sharon, I'm curious about why you think this twitter thread is any more fact based than other things you've seen and read this last week?
To me, this seems like it has just as many holes and gaps as others. Is it that this thread confirms your biases more than other takes?
