Just a tiny number of the things we owned and the recent Tories sold off

If I went back to 1980 and gave you the full list you’d feel sick about it

None of us gained a thing except the super rich

Inequality through the roof.

One week later and still no acknowledgement or apology from the @MayorofLondon or @AXS_UK

Absolute chaos trying to queue - with tickets - for Waterloo Bridge #London fireworks. Queued for hours and eventually became dangerously overcrowded and couldn't get on. What the hell went wrong?! @MayorofLondon @metpoliceuk

@MayorofLondon @BBCNews Scenes of absolute chaos trying to get to see fireworks. Queue didn't move for hours then completely broke down. Really dangerous

@ShutlerTrudie @FilmEaling Well done Trudie! That's great!

As we are on the verge of the abyss in the Middle East, I have two humanitarian appeals:

To Hamas, the hostages must be immediately released without conditions.

To Israel, rapid & unimpeded access for humanitarian aid must be granted for the sake of the civilians in Gaza.

Currently stuck in Belgium after the #airtrafficcontrol debarcle. Have a hotel and a new flight but had literally zero communications from @British_Airways. Only knew what to do after asking around at the airport.

Had the worst experience with @ClickMechanic who refuse to meaningfully engage with me. Recommend keeping well away from these cowboys.

[Dr Sebastian Buckle 🇪🇺 🏳️‍🌈 🇬🇧 he/him @sebbuckle]

@ClickMechanic Hi. Can you please let me know how my refund and compensation request is progressing.

[Dr Sebastian Buckle 🇪🇺 🏳️‍🌈 🇬🇧 he/him @sebbuckle]

@ClickMechanic - mechanic didn't fix my car, took payment, then refused to engage with me. I had to hire another mechanic to diagnose the problem, and now you're not replying to my messages. What do you suggest I do to get my money back?

[Dr Sebastian Buckle 🇪🇺 🏳️‍🌈 🇬🇧 he/him @sebbuckle]

@ClickMechanic 11277942. Still no reply. Have now paid £200 for train tickets. Please let me know how I can get this refunded, along with a refund for the initial work and the second diagnosis.

[Dr Sebastian Buckle 🇪🇺 🏳️‍🌈 🇬🇧 he/him @sebbuckle]

@ClickMechanic I've done this and still not heard anything...

[Dr Sebastian Buckle 🇪🇺 🏳️‍🌈 🇬🇧 he/him @sebbuckle]

YES!!!

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

I just want to make a few things clear:

The Holocaust happened.

Hitler was a demonic figure.

And instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting antisemitism wherever it hides.

Silence is complicity.

@MartinSLewis EDF. Fixed and DD staying the same. Receiving the £400 as monthly rebates.

Use of the phrase "it didn't do me any harm" is one of the most persistent symptoms of long term harm

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Yesterday, an official drought was declared in London.

Dry ground has a twofold risk to Londoners:
1. Highly flammable = increase in wildfires
2. Cannot absorb water = potential for flooding

This is a direct result of the climate crisis. We must do all we can to fight it.
