This is me pondering whether they'll change any of the words I've used in my work after I'm dead, to spare those who are fragile and easily offended. Words like 'fat' and 'ugly'. And 'cunt' and 'fuck'. And 'fat, ugly, greedy, pathetic little stupid fucking cunt'. Stuff like that.
Mick Lynch is running with the baton passed to him by Jeremy Corbyn. Both hold the same views and principles and where there are rally, marchs and picket lines you will often see them standing side by side. Mick wants a better world, don't you? https://t.co/ek21lUlC4C
There is nothing natural about extreme inequality. It is the predictable result of an economic system that distributes income based on who owns the means of production, rather than according to any common-sense principle of labour contribution, human needs or justice.

More footage of @metpoliceuk repressive & politicised tactics at yesterday's protest. @SuellaBraverman has made protest a crime. This government is a threat to all our human rights
I know no-one sees anything I post on Twitter any more, but since my partner and I are bring kicked out of our Falmouth flat due to absurd rent increases, I'd be grateful if anyone hears of anything to rent in the area (+ about 5 miles) for > £850 a month #housingcrisis#cornwall
Just 7% of Brits are privately educated yet 43% of the 100 most influential news editors, 44% of newspaper columnists, 74% of senior judges, 59% of permanent secretaries in the civil service are privately educated. A two-tier education system creates a two-tier society.

The new Prime Minister of Italy Giorgia Meloni has abolished vaccine mandates, therefore ending this illiberal discrimination of medical choice. Yet many so-called ‘liberals’ will think she’s ‘far-right’ for behaving like a liberal. We live in an inverted world.
@Theholisticpsyc I’ve experienced this recently with a close female friend… I often feel like I’m “too much “, or they shut me down or they feel challenged by my point of view… in a romantic relationship I would challenge my partner but with a best friend I feel unable too.:.
This Spanish city centre has been car-free for 20 years. 12k people have moved into the centre since the ban. The Mayor says vehicles don’t have more right to public space than people — & he’s been re-elected 4 times since banning cars. Pontevedra via @WEF
I'm reading that the Green Party are pledging to renationalise the energy companies, that being the case they will get my vote at the next general election!
If it wasn't for Twitter we wouldn't know about a TV series that has exposed the colossal undermining of Jeremy Corbyn by his own party (with evidence) neither would we know he's just won a libel case. Where are you UK media? What's your problem with "real news?"
