Donald Trump left office with the lowest approval rating of any president ever. But some people now seem to be suffering from amnesia. Let me jog your memory

If you'd like this petition to have more impact, then sign here. I didn't start the petition, merely amplifying it, as the gaslighting of voters by this govt about the post Brexit economy is truly obscene petition.parliament.uk/petit… Then please RT RT RT
Excellent. Looks like this will be well over 150,000 signatures ahead of the live-streamed debate on Monday. If you’ve not yet signed, please do so here —> petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Mathematics. Retweet if you love Italian food OR if you love Fibonacci numbers (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 ...). They're named after Italian mathematician Fibonacci (c. 1175 – c. 1250), who introduced Europe to the sequence. Source: bit.ly/3zEtfzz

At night, I occasionally dream of briefly unplugging light-ridden cities such as New York, enticing all to look up & embrace the splendor of a Starry Sky.

Great speech by John Kerr in House of Lords. The UK is not a popular destination for refugees. We’re way down the list. The dangerous sea route is the only refugee route now our govt have shut safe routes. The facts do not support govt case for cruelty.

Since #BBC broadcasted this interview yesterday has a single news show pointed out Boris Johnson sold his Brexit deal to the public & Parliament on the promise there would be NO CHECKS on goods coming from Great Britain to Northern Ireland?
“We are going to have 15,000 checks per week of goods coming from Great Britain to Northern Ireland” #Marr fails to remind viewers Boris Johnson sold his Brexit deal to the public & Parliament on the PROMISE there would be NO CHECKS on goods! RT if you think that’s important
