Im leaving. Not that many will care but Ive decided to leave X. The evil, ignorant clown that is @elonmusk & his followers spout inflammatory, racist rubbish that encourages some impreshionable niave people to riot & blame "other" people who are innocent #boycottX#boycotttwitter
Rishi Sunak claimed multiple times on BBC #r4today that the voters have voted for the Rwanda Scheme many times.
In reality we haven't been given a single chance to vote on it.
So I will give you one here...
RT, if it is expensive, hateful trash.
Like, if you want it.
In order to continue the amazing work she did, we have set up ‘Sammy’s Helping Hands’, a Just Giving page. Find out more here: https://t.co/dGbSzqLy9f
We understand times are hard, simply sharing this message helps us spread awareness for the charity and the work they do.
@mrdanwalker Shameful and sickening the people spreading conspiracy theories, particularly on social media. Are these people's lives so dull they have nothing better to do than spread stories about others?!?! I wish her all the best & hope she can ignore all this **** & focus on her recovery
Proud to be part of the transformation in how women are represented in the workplace & particularly in civil service. In 1997 18% of senior roles were held by women. In 2022 it was 47%. When I graduated in 91, the workplace was very different for women #InternationalWomensDay
Where do our calories come from?
I said on @StevenBartlett's podcast that "75% of calories consumed globally come from six companies"
I meant to say that 75% of calories come from six *crops*...but how many (or few) companies handle our food is an interesting question. 🧵
Thames Water which is £19bn in debt wants to raise its bills by 40% to pay the interest on its debts.
It serves 11 million people, everyone in the Greater London area.
Like if it we should let it go bust
RT if we need to nationalise all Water Companies
Israel has killed over 11,500 Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7th, when 36 Israeli children were killed.
It’s impossible to imagine that number. This is what it looks like. A line 5km long.

COPIED FROM JOE BECIGNEUL: THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO TICK SOME PEOPLE OFF, AND I HOPE IT DOES. BUT I’M GOING TO KEEP ON SHARING IT AND SAYING IT. AND ONCE AGAIN, I AM NOT A SWIFTIE, BUT I AM A HUMAN BEING, A DAD AND, A MONSTROUS FOOTBALL FAN.
I am extremely disappointed in so many of you who think that "not being a fan" of someone means you're entitled to shit all over them.
I want to remind you of something.
Your children are watching you complain about Taylor Swift sitting at a football game, being happy, and cheering for a man she loves in what appears to be a very loving, respectful relationship.
Your Children are watching you judge a woman for literally just EXISTING and taking up space happily.
And you know what? Ms. Swift has won 324 awards? How many do you have?
She brought $5 BILLION dollars in consumer spending and boosted the U. S. economy so significantly, that leaders from other countries actually beg for her to play there?
Did you know that there are over 20 college courses about her skills as an artist, lyricist, and musician - including at places like Harvard, Stanford & UC Berkeley?
Did you know that Taylor Swift quietly donates mass amounts of money to local food banks in every city she performs in?
AND DID YOU KNOW …
That Taylor Swift was sexually assaulted by a radio DJ, and she got him fired? When he sued HER for over $3 million for defamation, she counter sued for a symbolic $1 in a court case that took 2 YEARS for her to win. And, she did that just to show women that fighting for what's right has no price tag & to never be silent in the face of oppression.
WELL IF YOU DON’T CARE BY NOW, YOU SHOULD.
Because your daughters, nieces, and your nephews are watching you run your mouth. And they are seeing the world hate a woman who does so much good, simply because she exists in their line of sight.
DO BETTER PEOPLE.
Teach your boys to respect women. Teach your girls that as women - they are ALLOWED to take up space.
Fix it. Become aware of your words. Because we all have the ability and the obligation to fight for the future of our children with simple moments. And we need to consciously choose to be better for them.
@ClassicFM@mrdanwalker @i_is_sam I think you could be right. I don't think anyone thinks there are still 2 traitors in the game #TheTraitorsUK Can't wait to watch tonight.
@amolrajan@BBCTwo@BBCiPlayer Just started watching. Fascinated by her recollections of evacuation. Bought back memories of my fathers stories of evacuation. He never said much but he did run away on a few occasions. Must have been horrible & has given me new appreciation of trauma he must have experienced
@ChrisGPackham@BathPeregrines Hi, can you help identify this bird of prey that turned up in my mothers backgarden in Bath? Sorry for the bad quality pictures. Its the best she could do. It stayed for over an hour devouring the pigeon. Do you think its a Peregrin?
