I am very uncomfortable with a billionaire author getting privileged access to a party that may shortly be in power, to discuss the rights of a minority group she doesn’t belong to, who have experienced a massive increase in hate crime, and who she believes have too many rights.

British political parties as Doctor Who monsters.... 🧵 Tories = Daleks Shouty, pimpled Nazi wannabes who will exterminate anything. Have mad plans that obvs won't work - sending refugees to Rwanda / removing the earth's core to pilot it around the cosmos, etc.

Absolutely thrilled to discover that the Tories’ metric of what it’s reasonable to support a family on is just shy of forty grand and very much looking forward to the introduction of Universal Basic Income that will surely be necessitated by this admission.

Sleeping on the streets is NOT a lifestyle choice. We don’t have nearly enough affordable homes, rents are soaring and this is leaving people destitute and forced to sleep rough. This is a consequence of poverty. And poverty in this country has been exacerbated by policy choices

The British people are compassionate. We will always support those who are genuinely homeless. But we cannot allow our streets to be taken over by rows of tents occupied by people, many of them from abroad, living on the streets as a lifestyle choice. 1/4

This unusual find in the probate registers had us all crowded around the desk this morning to have a better look - a joint will made in 1669 by Anthony Atkinson '& Margarett his wife' of Ayrton in Cleveland.
Photograph of the joint will made by Anthony Atkinson and Margaret Atkinson, as copied into the York Diocesan probate register.

Friends, family, colleagues and followers: @yorkunisu have pulled out all the stops and launched a fundraiser to install a Long Boi statue on campus If you are in a position to do so, please spare a little for this important cause. Live, laugh, löngth 🦆 yustart.hubbub.net/p/long-bo…

Unless a body is found, I for one will assume that like Arthur and Owain Glyndŵr, Long Boi is merely sleeping and will return at Britain's hour of need

Socialised services would (and always have) strived to bring the highest standards for all at the lowest possible price, but the wealthy prefer to portray this as removing choice. They absolutely don't want the perks and luxuries they enjoy to be freely available, but why? 3/6
