I’m struggling to find the words to put with this post but please watch my most recent interview with Dele. It’s the most emotional, difficult yet inspirational conversation I’ve ever had in my life. Watch the interview on @wearetheoverlap here https://t.co/60d4IZwQmR

@MrRoryReid I don’t know how the protestors do it. Staying so calm in the face of such a dumb violent creature. For everyone that hates @JustStop_Oil understand that this kind of action is the only thing getting attention in this world.

@AndyatAuto @wbuxtonofficial At the end of the day, nothing is better for the environment than good public transport. The idea that we can all go to the same place cocooned in our own individual vehicle seems wasteful, whichever propulsion it has. Think how many cars London Underground keeps off the roads.

@carolvorders @jemmaforte Option 3 - being forced to have cameras follow him on an entire run for the rest of his life (and not just catch him disappearing around a corner to make him look tough).

@PeterStefanovi2 @OwenJones84 It really is. In the UK there is a perception of fairness but corruption is evident all the way to the top … for those that can afford it.

"No piece of art has ever emotionally affected me the way this robot arm piece has. It's programmed to try to contain the hydraulic fluid that’s constantly leaking out and required to keep itself running...if too much escapes, it will die so it's desperately trying to pull it back to continue to fight for another day. Saddest part is they gave the robot the ability to do these 'happy dances' to spectators. When the project was first launched it danced around spending most of its time interacting with the crowd since it could quickly pull back the small spillage. Many years later... (as you see it now in the video) it looks tired and hopeless as there isn't enough time to dance anymore.. It now only has enough time to try to keep itself alive as the amount of leaked hydraulic fluid became unmanageable as the spill grew over time. Living its last days in a never-ending cycle between sustaining life and simultaneously bleeding out... (Figuratively and literally as its hydraulic fluid was purposefully made to look like it's actual blood).
"The robot arm finally ran out of hydraulic fluid in 2019, slowly came to a halt and died - And I am now tearing up over a friggin robot arm 😭 It was programmed to live out this fate and no matter what it did or how hard it tried, there was no escaping it. Spectators watched as it slowly bled out until the day that it ceased to move forever. Saying that 'this resonates' doesn't even do it justice imo. Created by Sun Yuan & Peng Yu, they named the piece, 'Can't Help Myself'. What a masterpiece. What a message."
Extended interpretations: the hydraulic fluid in relation to how we kill ourselves both mentally and physically for money just in an attempt to sustain life, how the system is set up for us to fail on purpose to essentially enslave us and to steal the best years of our lives to play the game that the richest people of the world have designed. How this robs us of our happiness, passion and our inner peace. How we are slowly drowning with more responsibilities, with more expected of us, less rewarding pay-offs and less free time to enjoy ourselves with as the years go by. How there's really no escaping the system and that we were destined at birth to follow a pretty specific path that was already laid out before us. How we can give and give and give and how easily we can be forgotten after we've gone.. How we are loved and respected when we are valuable, then one day we aren't any longer and we become a burden...and how our young, free-caring spirit gets stolen from us as we get churned out of the broken system that we are trapped inside of. Can also be seen to represent the human life cycle and the fact that none of us make it out of this world alive. But also can act as a reminder to allow yourself to heal, rest and love with all of your heart. That the endless chase for 'more' isn't necessary in finding your own inner happiness.”

@danwootton Everything wrong about Britain summed up on one tweet. Shouting and violence over compassion and intelligence.

@SkySportsF1 Depends on this season. If Lewis finishes ahead of Russell he stays. If behind he will look to retire or switch. I think Ferrari would take him to replace Sainz. But Mercedes would look to recruit Leclerc or Norris. McLaren get leftovers. But to be fair they don’t have direction

@YvetteCooperMP @SuellaBraverman keeps responding that her focus is on ‘what the British people want’. Well that factually isn’t true when her focus was on using government resources to get herself out of punishment. Not to mention the British people are not a synonym for right wing Tories

If you listen to anything today let it be this: respected historian @AnthonySeldon:

@JayneSeckerSky: “What did you learn about Boris Johnson during the course of researching and writing this book?”

@AnthonySeldon: “I learned…

@McLarenAuto It does look identical to the 720S from the back. Can’t tell everything from this obviously. But I have a feeling Mclaren need to go bold to get attention/customers from other sports car makers.

@ProtectTheWild_ It never ceases to shock/depress me that wild animals only account for 4% of the world’s land biomass. Humans and farm animals make up 96%! And here we are killing more wild animals for the sake of us and our livestock. To quote a well known movie it’s a #RapeoftheNaturalWorld

@carolvorders @BylineTimes Just imagine if we had that money to use now for the NHS, education, policing, insulation, de-carbonisation and paying off debt. Not to mention it’s the tip of the iceberg when you add in Brexit and other scams.

@SkyNews I’m sure the truth is more - “it’s been refurbished by a relative/friend of the Tory party at great cost but you’ll all be pleased to hear most of that tax was not wasted on immigrants but pocketed by the company owner as outrageous profit”. Lightbulbs don’t really cost £1k each

If you watch anything today, let it be this. If you watch anything this week, let it be this. This phenomenal audience member speaks truth to power on #bbcqt. Stating “I’m staggered that you think you’re succeeding…”

@Zero_4 I really wish they would stop having to refer to each other as ‘honourable member’ … it makes a mockery of the word. Well done Stella for just calling him ‘member’ here.

@PolitlcsUK @MrHarryCole Reminds me of Great Expectations prison hulks (in Victorian England, hulks — ships that were no longer seaworthy — served as extra prisoner housing space due to prison overcrowding).

My stepdad @ChrisGPackham has bared the brunt of obsessive bullies who’ve burnt down his gates, thrown dead animals into his garden + sent death threats. They spread lies and hate because he stands up for wildlife.
I stand by him wholeheartedly

@ByDonkeys The joke of the system is the misrepresentation that the parliamentary job is the main one. In actual fact all these company boards, consultancies and miscellaneous TV/media jobs are their primary income and primary job. Being an MP IS the 2nd job #CorruptConservatives
