Invest in #greeneconomy not airports, #proportionalrepresentation. Everyone is a 1st class person! Everyone has their own "obvious"! If all vested interest groups worked together we could have have decent standards for EVERYBODY.

WE live in a £3 trillion economy. The "boats" issue maybe costs less than 0.5% of our GDP. Shld we tackle the problem - yes; shld we control costs effectively; yes. Does it really warrant the 80% of media focus- absolutely not. #pmqs #gbnews

Absolutely right! Freezing SL repayment threshold while indexing the state pension- & I say this as a pensioner - is beneath contempt. A complete betrayal of students. Why shld they vote Tory or Labour ever again. Reeves handing over keys to no 10 to Farage & his buffoons! #newsnight #r4today

The world has been run like a Private Equity biz selling off capital assets eg trees, gas, oil etc and using the proceeds to fund short term revenue costs. If economic models treated the "planet" as a biz & natural resources as balance sheet assets, energy policy wld show a HUGE loss. #r4today

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

"One of Us" was ABBA's final parting single - so we've adapted it into a 🎶 parody we're calling "Exodus" to reflect on the urinary trickle of Tory departures to Reform UK, most notably two driplets this week from the very bottom of the last government's barrel.

Would the simplest, fastest & cheapest way of dealing with illegal dumping be to make it free or very, cheap for ppl/biz to take rubbish to govt/council sites? They cld make sure it is disposed of safely and some reuse or recycling done. #politicslive #wato www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE

The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast

The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side

He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot

That’s murder

Mum to pass him an invitation to visit our house and take any of toys that caught his eye rather than sit crying on the curb.
