The members of Trinity Moravian Church in North Carolina purchased nearly $3.3 million of local residents’ medical debt for just $15,048. Then, they held a debt jubilee ceremony and burned up the debt, canceling it all.

Long-awaited details of the government’s voter ID scheme have now been released, including details of which IDs will be accepted at the polling station. The list contains plenty of options for older voters, but few for younger voters. electoral-reform.org.uk/vote…

Legend. This is what Parliamentary scrutiny is all about
"Do you not see there's a problem?" "There's an algorithm here tracking a human worker." Labour MP Darren Jones absolutely slates Amazon's European head of public policy over their dystopian surveillance of workers.

Yesterday I was arrested by @HertsPolice whilst covering a protest on the M25. I showed my press card, and I was handcuffed almost immediately. My phone was snatched out of my hand. I was searched twice, held in a cell for 5 hours, and I wasn’t questioned whilst in custody.

This, if his book on the subject is anything to go by, will be a splendid occasion.
My part in celebrating the 401½ anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower. Tickets are a derisory £3.75, and include a glass of wine, so they're basically paying you to come, which is a bit insulting. It's close Mayflower pub too, so that will also figure in the celebrations.

Our first acoustic gig today @CroftonGarden . We had a great time, despite the slightly damp day, and will definitely be doing it again.

We're back! First gig for 18 months. Now all we've got to do is find a drummer really quickly.

A v astonishing comment from Cressida Dick. It's not her role as Police Commissioner to judge or act according to a presumed "will of the people". Her job is to facilitate peaceful protest.
Met Police Commissioner Cressida Dick tells @LBC she is “very disappointed” that @ExtinctionR are returning to London this month. She says she doesn’t believe London supports such disruption and describes it as “frustrating”. She says police response will be “fair but firm”.

This week, I am supposed to be in a rape trial that was originally adjourned from September 2020 to now. Due to a lack of anyone to prosecute it, nationally, it has had to go off to June 2022. I am saying nothing more than stating these facts. Your disgust can perhaps do the rest

Please retweet to show your support for @RNLI volunteers #IStandwithRNLI
A new low for GB News — giving Farage a platform to step up his attack on RNLI lifeboat volunteers. Their response to his comments was simple: they are proud of the work they do saving lives at sea.

Guess what many GPs are doing this bank holiday? Running vaccine centres. GPs are flat-out; the workload right now is unbelievable. We’re going to fight to change things. If you stand with GPs (and all NHS staff), pls RT and show you care💙 @EveryDoctorUK

Exactly one month ago I posted to Speaker Hoyle a list of falsehoods uttered by Boris Johnson and ministers on floor of Commons in defiance of ministerial code and Erskine May. No reply. Not even an acknowledgement.
