Hope we’re back in before I have to renew mine...

Have we found the Brexit bonus? A new colour #bluepassport which reduces rights, made by a French - Dutch company in Poland.

Katherine Parr, Henry VIII’s final and surviving wife, ruled alone for 4 months during wartime and was the first Englishwoman to publish a book under her own name in English.

I’ve lost count of the number of times senior Tory ministers - from Cameron, to Osborne, to Hammond and Johnson - have insisted income inequality fell after they took office in 2010. Turns out that didn’t happen, as ⁦@ONS⁩ admits today - having recalculated.

Hi Anne. The chlorine itself is not the problem - the US uses it on chicken because the farming methods there mean it's extremely dangerous not to. EU & UK farms are cleaner & safer as well as better for the animals' and farmers' welfare

[Jonathan Dimbleby @dimbleby_jd]

I loathe pervasive term 'unskilled'. Are care-workers 'unskilled'? It is a callously bureaucratic way to describe such dedicated men and women. 'Low paid' yes, sometimes scandalously so, but skilled in so many ways that few of us could begin to emulate.

I love those five orchestras and the 8-week world-class music festival that Netflix and Amazon Prime bankroll. Oh wait

Proud to see @BBCRadio3 making headlines in Times/Telegraph/Mail today - 16.4% rise in audience, 89,000 new listeners to Breakfast.
If you are one of them, or indeed a long term supporter, thank you. And please keep spreading the word about what we do.

Just realised today's date. 02/02/2020. This is an 8 digit Palindrome. The last this happened was 909 years ago with the date of 11/11/1111 I believe the next 8 digit palindrome is 101 away with 12/12/2121... Someone is going to prove me wrong here! 😉

[Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt]

Let’s never forget what people can do to each other. It is too easy to say “never again". We have to create an environment in which hate does not have any ground to grow. That is our mission. #WeRemember

Engineering. The curiosity to question the status quo and ask - "How can this be better?" #Bethechange

[L'pool Parish Church @LiverpoolParish]

Please ignore anything you read in the press about @churchofengland & civil partnerships. Instead come to our 'Early Valentine' choral service at 6pm on 2 Feb. We don't care if you are gay, straight, married, single, CP-ed, etc., we'll still offer you a glass of wine afterwards.

It is worth repeating - although depressing that it should be necessary. If you love gardens and gardening and have one iota of responsibility for our ecology and environment DO NOT USE PEAT! It really is that simple.

[Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt]

The EIU Democracy Index is at its lowest point ever and the EU is slipping as well. We need to fight this trend with an EU Democracy and Human Rights pact. We shouldn’t only monitor and fix our budgets but also the health of our democracy.

@RWallfisch Just listening @BBCRadio4 article on Auschwitz and feeling immensely humbled by your mother. Sending you many many good thoughts today.

[Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt]

Let us never forget what horrible atrocities mankind can do to each other when hate prevails. Let's work together to ensure this never happens again.

"We need to ensure that education is more inclusive, that education is reflective of what happens in society and perhaps it’s time to revolutionise what education is or what it reflects." >> https://t.co/H51A13lpQM #TransformTheFuture #WomeninSTEM

@PetrocTrelawny I wonder if William Gedge was any relation to the late great David Gedge, organist of Brecon Cathedral for many years?

[Peter Dyke 🇪🇺🇬🇧 @peterdyke49]

The #RussiaReport must be bad if they're still so keen to withhold it. But releasing it is vital - if Western democracies *are* being unduly influenced by malign outside forces, this is more important than UK party politics @carolecadwalla
