📈 Our already extortionate rail fares will rise yet again on Sunday. 💰 Private rail companies are raking in profit for running expensive and unreliable services. 💚 We would nationalise our railways and run services for people, not profit.

So, I find myself 30ft in the air up a tree in Wellingborough- surrounded by police, security & tree surgeons- trying to prevent an illegal tree felling. How did I end up here? Here’s an outrageous story of nature destruction & collusion between authorities & private developer 🧵

I want to see Brexit reversed, PR introduced, authoritarian laws repealed, end of non-dom, tax haven & tax avoidance, proper public sector pay, NHS fully funded & staffed, & government dedicated to the public good not the partisan interests of donors & self-seeking politicians.

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.) It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public. 🧵

Really a great story. Parents playing games with their kids so they both understand what they are playing and increase shared time together. The power of games to be a great form of entertainment and joy for so many. #WhenEveryonePlaysWeAllWin

No immigrant has taken your job. You were laid off by a capitalist who required cheap labor and took advantage of that immigrant to increase his profits, and nothing makes him happier than to hear you blame the immigrant and not him.
