Extraordinary story by @MattChapmanUK who undertook 2-year FOI battle to get details of secret meeting between British govt & Zuck. Hancock bent over backwards to suck up to FB & undermine parliament's investigation into Cambridge Analytica & fake news

'Stop immigration
Reject Common Market
Make Britain great again
Scrap overseas aid
Vote National Front'
Amazing & horrifying. It took 50 years but the National Front has triumphed

Captain Hindsight here with a Tweet highlighting these issues in Jan 2019... a year before Covid!
WhatIf... Derek MacKay and @TheSNP listened more to non-celebs who get money for ferries before becoming bad loans?

200,000 retail jobs gone this year according to @Keir_Starmer... the number that @altusgroup projected before #Covid.
It was a 'forever recession' before the virus.
Shoulda thought about reskilling/upskilling years ago!!

Just as the poor souls working in retail (Mothercare this week)... and soon to be contact centres too
xitter.cf/EdTech_Stories/status/…
Bet there isn't an MP or MSP among these poor souls.
IMHO every politican should live like their poorest costituants for a month.
Maybe then the 'honourable' group who 'got into politics to make a difference' might actually make a difference to people!

Andrew Marr to Nicola Sturgeon- "You said closing the educational attainment gap was a moral challenge for Scotland and you wanted to be judged by that. On that judgement, you have failed."
Education is suffering under the SNP. But all they care about is Independence.
Happy Thanksgiving to all the real friends and meaningful connections we've made on Twitter.
Grateful to all the fake friends too... that group have provided some hard fought for life lessons

EXCLUSIVE with @oliver_wright
Boris Johnson asked Sir Alex Allan to tone down report which found Priti Patel had bullied civil servants
‘He didn’t think Alex’s findings accorded with the evidence
‘He spoke to Alex and asked him if he’d change the tone of it. Alex said no’ xitter.cf/mshelicat/status/13298…
Ask people like @pritipatel to stand? Erm #NoThanks!
How about having a
'Ask honest hard working people with integrity to stand' campaign
Instead of the current crop of self interested, lying bullying Trump wannabies?

For all the 'honourable' people defending @pritipatel with all the

They should watch Adam Grant's Ted Talk.

A quick question for #AntiBullyingWeek's @GavinWilliamson & "Trump Britain's" @BorisJohnson or workplace bully @pritipatel

They sure ain't in politics!!
