The day before my son should have been 26, and on the day the news is reporting 3 suicides relating to the same hospital, I’d like to make a point about the language around suicide. It’s only going to be 3/4 tweets. If you agree, please retweet and let’s see how this goes

Yesterday, I attended a conference at which an influential financier shared this unpublished map. Look at it. The estimated death toll is 2-3 *billion*; the timeframe is 20-30 years (previously: 50). Segments of the elite have simply 'written off' large parts of the Global South.

Dear UK friends, protect your amazing NHS at all costs. The US health system, enclosed by capitalism, is brutal and inhumane. It bankrupts people and leaves those who can’t pay to die.

I think very few people have so far accepted the real stakes of the climate emergency: that we risk losing everything and that the damage is irreversible. This includes most journalists.

Trickle down doesn't work and never has done anywhere. It's zombie economics. Its why Reaganomics failed. It just makes already very rich people very much richer. It's bunkum - and yet this is the economic magic bullet Liz Truss seems intent on firing.

I feel it's worth pointing out that unless they decide to keep her profile until the end of the year, the last UK stamps depicting Queen Elizabeth II's profile are a set of the Transformers
