@col_ford My phone got the updated app this morning and my first thought was “why is X Windows installed on my phone??”

On #peston this week ex Bank of England chief economist Andy Haldane said the Bank should pause the lifting of interest rates. Today in @FT he elaborates, warning that the Bank is pursuing a new form of austerity. “Over a decade ago, in pursuit of lower debt, the UK enacted fiscal austerity. This ruptured growth and was self-defeating for debt. Today, in pursuit of lower inflation, monetary austerity risks the same fate. It is time to steer the stampeding herd away from the cliff edge, for the sake of the financial security of millions of people and the credibility of our policy institutions.”

Sunak: “I think that voting is a privilege.”

If you are an adult British citizen, it’s not a privilege. It’s your right. How dare they suggest otherwise.

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".

Please retweet this many, many, many times. It's horrific.
@MarinaHyde is so right.
Why isn't this is a huge scandal?

Hundreds of lives ruined. Not a single person held to account. And still: silence on the Post Office scandal | Marina Hyde https://t.co/hiTNKSc699

How can you tell if someone is on Bluesky?
Don't worry, they'll tweet about it.

@col_ford So where are you sleeping?

This really is worth a watch… but of course, I would say that, wouldn't I.

So this illegal & immoral #RefugeeBanBill passes second reading, 312 to 270, trashing international law, running roughshod over human rights, & shaming us all. It’s not refugees who are threat to this country, it’s the Tory government. But opposition will only grow #StopTheBill

If you needed to symbolise the precise moment when a society tips over into barbarism, this little glimpse of the banality of evil would serve you well.

I was briefly acting BBC Chairman for 6 months without knowing the then-prime minister. But I didn’t even get shortlisted for the job.

Resharing this graph from @KetanJ0 - might help to contextualise some of the debate about the UK firing up coal plants right now.
