@Reuters Not ‘migrants,’ people, human beings died. Don’t de-humanise people seeking a better life

@Jeremy_Hunt @RishiSunak @McLarenF1 @McLarenAuto Genuinely astounding when this is happening at the same time https://t.co/BxNKIRJ7tu not that you care

[Claire Valentine @ClaraValentine7]

@EdinburghTrams @Sharders36 I second this, as an example maybe at the bottom of the steps at Saughton instead of in the shelter.

[Helen Shardlow @Sharders36]

@EdinburghTrams hey there, is it possible to increase the number of QR codes at tram stops? Would be great to them on the posts where the card tap machines are. Useful if you’re running 🏃‍♀️ for a tram and don’t make it to the shelter codes!

🚨 NEW: Energy giant BP has announced annual profits of £23,000,000,000 – more than double the previous year.

At the same time, 3.2 million British homes were cut off because they couldn’t afford energy bills.

Their profits = our pain

We have finally got around to updating the NEN website. Sadly neglected of late, we have commenced the task of a new look and update. Confirmed dates for April's Portobello Ghost Walk. New stories to report, a brand new episode, and my brand new book.
Stay tuned for details👍

[Water of Leith Conservation Trust @WOLCT]

Lots of volunteer power on show this morning down on the Bell's section.

Waders removed bags of rubbish from behind the weir, obstruction levered off the walkway, debris swept up and the soakaway drain dug out.

Thanks for the help @EdYoungWalkers

The disgraced Home Secretary @SuellaBraverman

Suella claimed £2,684 on expenses to cover the utility bills on her second home last year.

RETWEET if you think Braverman should be paying for her own utility bills.

📣 BREAKING: We’ve filed a greenwashing complaint with @SECGov about @Shell misleading investors on its energy transition efforts.

A big chunk of Shell’s so-called renewables investment goes to climate-wrecking gas 🔥

[Rachael Swindon @Rachael_Swindon]

Doing an experiment.

Some 316 MPs claimed their utility bills on expenses last year, with some members claiming more than £3,000 to cover their utilities.

Please retweet this if you think MPs should pay for their own gas and electric.

@HMRCcustomers here with my bereaved mother in law, her ID is not recognised online, been on hold forever, she’s getting very upset. I don’t think her personal allowance is correct. Can you help?

[Patricia Cornwell @1pcornwell]

Hello friends. Thought I’d share.

My first 4 novels were rejected never to see the light of day.

Postmortem was rejected at least 6 times before accepted by a scalpel’s edge.

Never give up on your dream. 💕🔎✍🏼
