@KirstenMakes @_AshleighRob_ @feesheal @kariyoshime Sure! Can’t say I know about visa situ (we moved here pre Brexit date) but happy to give advice on other things about moving to and settling in Amsterdam ☺️

@LHM1983 Thanks for sharing.. would’ve been handy to include a few words on each as to why you think they’re options, given mostly unknown to me!

@AnthonyRJoseph @alzie20 @BBCSportsound I think his criticism a bit bizarre. Across the season, Miovski, Duk and Ramadami probably been Aberdeen’s best players. Makes a lot of sense to try and get players from ‘obscure’ markets than rely on the over-used & over-priced British & Irish pool.

Anyone got advice for how to contact Twitter? Customer service non-existent & seems no way to get @TwitterSupport to engage. They’ve mistakenly suspended my company’s Twitter account & no way to resolve, very frustrating. Think we will just have to leave platform for good.

Do the right thing Jim Goodwin - your record is woeful, you’ve let down the club and fans. Your legacy is one of embarrassment & shame. Be accountable, take responsibility and resign. (Of course, he won’t. He’ll hold out for a pay-off like they always do)…

Aberdeen manager Jim Goodwin insists he can fix his side's problems and turn results around - but admits there are no assurances about his future. https://t.co/jtLW1YAMQt

Hey @TwitterSupport - you’ve suspended my company account, @GRI_Secretariat, because I added the date it was founded as ‘date of birth’… it’s not a person!! Can you help?

Call by @Oxfam for oil companies to publish country-by-country (#CbCr) tax practices by using #GRI207. How much, and where, businesses pay tax is an important factor in determining their #sustainability contribution & impact: https://t.co/p4vPU0WIl6

@ppvdw Bizaarely, the climate denial and Christianity movements in the US have somehow become inter-twined. There is nothing anti-religious in accepting that climate change is happening and mankind is to blame! 😣

Important progress towards #corporateaccountability in Europe, for impacts on people and planet #CSRD

Businesses beware - continue with unsustainable practices and you may lose out on future talent. New survey from @GlobeScan finds younger generations increasingly unlikely to work for employers with a poor environmental or social track record https://t.co/VCEbxBpQUP

I have my first blog up for @OxfamAmerica!

Two US companies recently disclosed the country-by-country financial information that is necessary for adequate tax transparency. What are other US companies waiting for?

Quick 🧵on why this matters (1/9)

@ppvdw For a moment I thought you had photographed the Loch Ness Monster… but no, it’s a tree branch!

@Maqiyn1 @KyivIndependent There is absolutely no indication that rolling over and giving ground to Putin will stop his ambitions to crush Ukraine. It will simply embolden him further.

[Tom Whittles @Thomtastic]

@Maqiyn1 @KyivIndependent But where does it stop? ‘Let’ Russia have Kherson - are you saying to give them Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia regions as well? Abandon Ukrainians in the process.. You don’t stop a tyrant or get peace with concessions. Your comment is, at best, ignorant and ill-informed.
