Sorry to disturb you @theresecoffey - I'm sure you've got a party to go to or recover from - but @thameswater has dumped sewage on Oxford's Port Meadow again. Your friend @trussliz cut the budget for regulating this.

Short 🧵 on Matt Hancock declaring on I'm a Celebrity that he is now simply seeking "forgiveness". I write this as someone whose 47-year-old wife, terminally ill, died in a hospice the day after testing positive for Covid, in December 2020. 1/n

Hi @LKBennettLondon just had very disappointing customer service at your Westfield store having not been able to exchange an online purchase where you didn’t send out a returns label. Emailed your customer service on Saturday and no response.

By the way @LKBennettLondon the email address and telephone number on your online order receipts don’t work. Almost like you are putting barriers in place of customers.

Very disappointing and obstructive. Am told that your online systems and shop systems don’t integrate so the order number could not be looked up.

OK. 5 prime ministers in 6 years. Serial chaos, serial lies & economic collapse. Enough is enough. RT if you want a general election NOW.

So because a bunch of unelected right wing zealots trashed the economy, we’re back to austerity & all its miseries? Please RT if you want a general election now. – at Wheatley, England

So apparently we can't stop Truss walking out to our song, very weird! So sad it got used by this shower of a government. BTW Truss labour used it with permission in 90's. I don't want my song being a soundtrack to lies.

How many people lived in fear in the summer of 1914, dreading what might happen? Come to that, what about 1939? People must have known that they were living on a precipice then, just as we are now. A disaster is about to happen, but there seems to be denial all around. A thread
