Hey 👋 my partner is working with a great start-up. If anyone could help pass this on, it would really help 🙏

[Natalie Wakes @nataliewakes]

Hey! I’m working for a start-up that enables greater civic participation of the African diaspora. In the research stages and initially looking for Nigerians in the diaspora to do a quick 5 min survey.
If you're interested...https://t.co/xhe1L5cL2y
TIA! #africandiaspora #Nigerans

They had a choice to deny interest on bank balances that commercial banks only have with the government because new money was created during recent crises, or to pay workers decent living wages and preserve the NHS. They chose bankers. And that is unforgivable.

So how do we get the Governor for the Bank of England sacked for either being 1. Grossly out of his depth, at best; or 2. The mouthpiece of the powerful few trying to profiteer in the current climate?

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

The government and the Bank of England are again calling today for wage restraint to beat inflation - as if the whole cost of beating inflation must fall on wage-earning households and not the companies and banks that are causing it or the wealthy who are gaining. A thread....

@elonmusk Not censorship 🚫 rate limiting 👍

[Stuart Wakefield @stuartwio]

It's not censorship, it's rate limiting...

[Stuart Wakefield @stuartwio]

@elonmusk Would read your post, but I'm rate limited 🤷‍♂️

[Stuart Wakefield @stuartwio]

Rate limited seeing my own tweet 👏 genius... deffo gonna blue badge now

[Stuart Wakefield @stuartwio]

This is simply great engineering... I reckon Elon could just fire the rest of the team and do it all his self. Why bother with the timeline, blue badges is all anyone cares about anyway 🤷‍♂️

[Stuart Wakefield @stuartwio]

The way I thought it was an outage... Nope, working as expected. Shit product design working as expected 👏

They defund the NHS so it looks like it’s failed. Then we have to turn to privatisation and they cash in. They close all safe routes for asylum seekers entitled to our help under the human rights convention we signed up to. Then they blame asylum seekers themselves for crossing in boats and hold them up as racist bait in hotels while they wait years to be processed. They do this because they know capitalising on racism and attacking vulnerable people is a vote winner, even though it shouldn’t be. People die as a result of their inept policies. They blatantly throw parties and socialise during a pandemic whilst making it illegal for us to do so. They capitalise on the pandemic with commercial nepotism and corruption. They empower criminals and spread hate to distract from their BS. They attack the legal professionals protecting our rights by calling them lefty lawyers. They put inflation through the roof. They make house ownership an impossible dream whilst causing rents to rise everywhere. They increase energy bills to insane amounts, whilst passing laws to allow sewage to be dumped in our rivers and waters and discrediting any scientist who points out environmental or climate crises. They abdicate all responsibility for the bonkers mess of Brexit, the gift that keeps taking, and burden taxpayers with hare-brained unlawful multimillion pound deals to deport people to Rwanda with no right of appeal. They and their supporters have done so much damage to this country. Don’t let them completely destroy it. Let’s vote them out when we can… They are the worst of us.

@jasongorman The amount of times I've run into the "if you build it they will come" mentality, where someone has confidently asserted thousands of people will use the proposed system to have it languish at a handful of users and not make any return. Simply sunk cost.

[Stuart Wakefield @stuartwio]

@jasongorman It would be a nice problem to have. Definitely one of those "let's cross that bridge..." situations

@odd_enough https://t.co/EmWtW6Awel here is a great resource for those coming over to the dark side

[Stuart Wakefield @stuartwio]

@CharlieSansom @GaryLineker I don't have to shut up... 83% of Albanian immigrants crossing by -small boat- are adult men. I'll give you a few minutes to figure out the logistics...

[Stuart Wakefield @stuartwio]

The solution is simple. CEO and board need to appear in inquest. Fined, restricted from holding a position like this again in the future, etc.
