We’re trying to get as many followers as Nigel Farage so we can show those who want to privatise the NHS just how many people are prepared to fight against it.

Please take a few seconds to help by following us and retweeting this.

[John Twelvetrees #FBPE #RejoinEU #Bluesky @JohnTwelvetrees]

Please retweet if you want Labour, LibDems and Greens to cooperate at the next election in order to oust the Tories and introduce PR so that we never again have to endure a Tory Government with an eighty seat majority, secured with only 43% of the popular vote.

Yesterday I got arrested whilst filming a @JustStop_Oil supporter holding a banner on the pavement near the coronation route. I'm a filmmaker and had my @BECTU press accreditation visible around my neck.

Police deemed this to be "conspiracy to commit a public nuisance".

@hhariri That sucks :(

Who’s the chap stood right in front of the camera? Give us a wave! #ROHCinderella

RT if you want to nominate & vote for @GaryLineker for 2023 BBC Sports Personality of the Year?

At a cost, estimated by the Cabinet Office to be up to £180,000,000 per decade, this law to force people to bring photo ID to vote is an expensive distraction from the problems the country faces. Add your name here: https://t.co/yzZMSHJBjO

@tweeter_anita @EmpirePodUK @kavpuri @DalrympleWill Thank you for this. It’s hard to believe that this horror happened, and even harder to believe how so many don’t know about it. I knew that India was partitioned when the British left, but never grasped the enormity of it. What was the charity you mentioned at the end?

@RobAshton When we moved back to the UK, I remember us going to the local fair at the insanely early time of 21:30. Everything shut, including the local restaurants 😂

@hhariri Bet you wish you’d caught the ave

[Steve Strong @srstrong]

@hhariri It's all we've got left :(

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

Remove the “payroll” vote - and look at the free vote from backbenchers. Almost 75% of all Tory MPs not dependent on his patronage voted against him. This is the end for Boris Johnson. The only question is how long the agony is prolonged.

@NadineDorries It was live. The crowed were booing. You’d sound more competent if you acknowledged that. It’s no surprise that you don’t.

@VisualStudio Very much not isolated - happening to me on a number of machines across the UK and Germany, and reports of the same all over twitter

[Steve Strong @srstrong]

@BBCNews your 7:07 live page post: “This is the home of… all places you don’t necessarily associate with the socialist people’s republic” - Labour aren’t trying to create a socialist republic any more than the Tories are trying to create a fascist dictatorship. Oh, wait…

[Steve Strong @srstrong]

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret With our current FPTP system, and the scope for large majorities in parliament without a majority of the vote, should there be a more formal written constitution to prevent abuses of power? Or should we move away from FPTP?

Peter Hennessy reads a diary entry on #bbcbh @BBCRadio4. The day @BorisJohnson refused to resign.

@THEJamesWhale Surely everyone should be in politics? Or are you trying to cancel things?
