A thread of the best moments from past Olympics in honor of the 2024 Paris Olympics 1. Facing a 4th tiebreaker, these two Olympians from Qatar & Italy instead asked if they could share the high jump gold medal, which was permitted. Pure joy ensued.

BREXIT has been so dishonest and harmful.

Pleased to complete “swearing in”, using our Cornish language. It was my privilege to initiate the Cornish language option after securing the official recognition of our language. Another momentous day. A step forward

On the day that the Prime Minister confirmed his support for a Council of the Regions and Nations, it was great to see Liberal Democrat MPs @AndrewGeorge_ and @BenMaguireNC asserting Cornish nationhood by taking their oaths in Cornish.

🧵The Tories deliberately and cynically manufactured the asylum seeker crisis. How? By drastically cutting the number of asylum applications processed within 6 months. That creates a large, highly visible backlog of applicants. Let's look at the situation step by step...

This is a very good summary for anyone needing clarity on the issues.

Members of @theRCN have voted to REJECT the Governments derisory offer of another crappy real terms pay cut. If like me you will be standing shoulder to shoulder with our nurses RT this widely Let’s send a message to Health Secretary @SteveBarclay

"Water regulator's £1bn plans to reduce sewage discharges will only stop 3pc of spills". Does the £1bn plan now replace the £3.1bn plan announced last August or the £2.1bn plan before that, or the £12bn before than? HELLO! IS THERE ANYONE IN CHARGE? telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/04/0…

I get a few messages from lovely people asking for basic info to counter hostile anti migrant narrative. So I’ve pulled this together to try and cover the typical points - hopefully it helps with those awkward dinner discussions or difficult family members.

UK Gov has just confirmed complete ban on horticultural #peat will not come into effect until 2030. A huge disappointment considering the destruction of our irreplacable peatland habitats should have been outlawed long ago. More info here 👉wildlifetrusts.org/news/uk-govern…


I’ve joined the CEOs of Shelter and Save The Children and signed the petition asking the Government to take proper action to tackle the cost of living crisis. Will you add your name too? 38d.gs/1uin

The 'behaviour crisis' I too have seen a post COVID deterioration in behaviour in schools (particularly secondary). My thoughts and some strategies/mindsets I have found useful... *Trigger warning, ref to suicide.

This feels like parody, but it's not... The UK's largest turnip farmer gave up growing turnips because he couldn't get sufficient staff any more, because of Brexit.

You gotta laugh... Richard Parry, "The Turnip King", the main grower of turnips in the UK for retailers Stopped growing turnips 6 months ago Because... He can't get the labour BBC Radio 4 "The World Tonight" #BrexitReality #LetThemEatTurnips or not youtu.be/MZ6_HkRBrjY

#PayRestoration From today, some employers, seniors and rota coordinators will tell you things that are not true. Some are clumsy mistakes, some are attempts to undermine your will to strike. The media will attack you and your reps. Here are some mistruths you may hear: 🧵
