I stand with the Sri Lankan people. 🇱🇰 #SriLankaCrisis

🧵The #SriLankaCrisis is the result of a broken, colonial global economic system.

The cycle of loans, deregulation and privatisation — benefiting corporations at the expense of workers' wages and rights — must end. 1/8

@CyrilRamaphosa @SAMissionNY @DIRCO_ZA #StandWithUkraine #UNGA the world is watching South Africa - stand with Ukraine against colonial invasion by Putin’s Russia.

.@pritipatel - The UK can and should help provide safe passage to those fleeing war in Ukraine. Please urgently outline how Britain will provide safe and legal routes for refugees in their time of need. https://t.co/1Cpt5ad0IZ

Disgraceful. This week @LloydsofLondon CEO, John Neal, is backtracking on Lloyd's ESG policy and refused to rule out insuring climate-wrecking projects like the #Adani coal mine in Australia. https://t.co/odqXbdYW83

Teenage son while watching govt press conference:

Why do they talk about supporting the NHS as if it’s something they’re not in charge of running?

[Paul Tiplady @tippers_pm]

@bigcomfybooks @jenny_garner Same. Finished “The Hundred Year Old Man…” yesterday. Started “The Snow Child”, can’t get into it. Might start “Dune” (trilogy) instead.

[Paul Tiplady @tippers_pm]

@bigcomfybooks Received “Dune” & “The Thursday Murder Club”. Gifted “Enduring Love” & “Nadya’s Kitchen” (should have been the one from the current series, but in my haste I picked up the wrong one 🤦‍♂️)
Have to read the ones I’ve got before I buy more (we have rules…).

@Bugmonkey1 @bigcomfybooks Does that mean I have to read it twice?

[Paul Tiplady @tippers_pm]

Hey there @bigcomfybooks ! Are we on for a book club meet this Thursday?

[Paul Tiplady @tippers_pm]

@bigcomfybooks Shame. I was looking forward to it, but it takes the pressure off the preceding event…

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

The new Health Secretary, Sajid Javid, earns £150k as an advisor to US bank JP Morgan.

JP Morgan say they "see the opportunities that lie ahead" for private healthcare.

The ultimate "opportunity" for private healthcare is NHS privatisation.

The NHS isn't safe with the Tories.

Indigenous communities are fighting a deadly war to protect Earth's most precious habitats -- but they can't do it alone. Here's how we can help to defend the defenders:

Welcome to the @OECD Secretary, @MathiasCormann! Will you stick to your commitment & rally the world behind ambitious climate action to keep us safe? FIRST TEST: Support @IEA’s & @fbirol’s #NZ2050 to keep us below 1.5ºC. Prove your critics wrong. Don't sink Paris #fixtheWEO
