In 2011/2 MPs on the @CommonsCMSwere were probing Rupert Murdochโs company. Result? 7 of them had their phones targeted โ literally hundreds of calls from the companyโs phone hub. This pattern is what @byNickDavies has been investigating for @prospect_uk (๐งต - 1)

NHS staff saw the lack of PPE as a serious issue
Others saw it as a serious opportunity
#BREATHTAKING
More Arts in school please.
Itโs so important to see ourselves in all the arts, itโs inclusive & life affirming. It provides belief, escapism, team work & love.

REPOSTING WITH CORRECT TAG: Last night the management of the @E_N_O sent out redundancy notices to chorus and orchestra, timed to be read in the interval. What a shoddy, disgusting, shameless way to behave.The entire board should hang their heads in shame. slippedisc.com/2024/02/excluโฆ

Last night at @BAFTA premiere of BREATHTAKING, we were so honoured to have @MichaelRosenYes introduce the screening by reading his glorious tribute to the NHS, his poem โThese Are the Handsโ.
And then something completely unexpected and wonderful happened. 1/3

BREAKING
'Michelle Mone would rather you did not see this ยฃ75mn restraint order'
She's definitely annoyed the @ft.
They've just uploaded the Court's Order to freeze their assets....dates, times, names inc those of her children and Arthur Lancaster, a key player in Barrowman's Loan Charge Scandal Companies, and of course offshore trusts and tax avoidance aplenty.
Oh dear.....
Well done Seb, an amazing achievement ๐
It's been fun and trust and teamwork all the way. Thank you Jon, Mike , @dragon_dewi (and Santa too!) for organising an amazing send-off today!

Last image of #MahsaAmini alive moments before being severely beaten for showing hair from under her hijab. In a coma for two days before dying from her head injuries Sept 16th.
Her name has become the most shared hashtag of all time. A name that sparked 11 months of ongoing nationwide and global protests.
1 year anniversary will be highly significant.
The countdown started.
T-minus 1 month.

Do you know why I hate Tories so much? Itโs coz my kids childhood is nothing like mine was. I had access to a GP the same day, my kids donโt. I had access to a Dentist, my kids donโt. I didnโt have to worry about food, my kids DO. I could go paddling, my kids canโt. You get me?
Really nice to be back at @BaratxuriBar at Exhibition in Manchester.
We so miss them in #Ramsbottom lovely to catch up with Joe.

Looks like the Express has another poll in dire need of help. Twitter, do what you're best at!
(I've linked straight to the 3rd party-hosted poll itself so you don't get bothered by all the Express website ads. Ignore the request for an email address.)

It seems that the Mail on Sunday has learnt how much of a massive misstep this was, this from a friend:
Interesting that the story has now dropped right down the Mail Online website to around the 30th story. For a story that's front page on their print edition and was top story on their website last night.

I knew that our new documentary film about lying in politics was going to get global coverage when it came out....but not front page coverage before it was even finished.
Powerful people are already scared of this film. Why? It's because we know something that could destroy them. Join the crowdfund page to help me finish this film: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/thepowerโฆ

Last night, I was honored to perform with special guests musicians in Buxton: Alan Barnes (sax/clarinet), Dan Highan (trombone), Joe Webb (piano), Will Sach (bass), Will Cleasby (drums).
Their energy filled every corner of the @Buxtonoperatable music that resonated with the spirit of @BifJazz @BuxtonFestival

Wholesale gas is 6 times cheaper today than August.
In is 4 times cheaper than March 2022
It is half the price it was in October 2021
There is zero justification whatsoever for prices climbing 20% today, a cost which will be met by you the taxpayer.
Itโs a racket.
