Having a dinner party at a friends. This helicopter has now been above us for best part of an hour. @metpoliceuk any chance it can scrutinise carnival slightly further away? Cos it’s deafening?

I worked with teenagers for years. I think giving 16/17 year olds the vote is a really good thing. Most of the arguments against make me think those people don’t spend any proper time with young people. Some of the best political chats I’ve ever had are with this age group.

23% of foster places in England provided by private equity firms. Biggest firm made £104m operating profit, profit margin 21%. Some foster parents got just 80p an hour, forced on benefits. Obscene obsession with privatising everything. https://t.co/twi0GuqY8A

🚨 Joint statement: Unacceptable “concessions” on the disability cuts MUST be rejected. It is not a concession for future generations to receive even less support than Disabled people today. Read it in full on our website👇 https://t.co/e8oeLLJtXN

If anyone is doing previews before going up to Edinburgh Fringe - I’d love to see what you’re making!

Keir Starmer says Labour is the party of work, equality and fairness, but less than a year after the election, changes at the Department for Work and Pensions have forced me to stop doing the job I love. The full video can be found here: https://t.co/NISOfX4V94 #AccessToWork

This is such bullshit.

Small child very politely told me off for walking on the wrong side of the steps at the tube station. Genuinely impressed. He was right, polite and quiet but assertive. FairPlay.

"There is no other industrial sector in the UK that government policy requires to give its property or labour to another sector which is in direct competition with it on a compulsory basis in the name of balance." Powerful point on why forcing creators to subsidize their AI

Dear Labour MP. If you are going to be voting for or against changes to #disabilitybenefits that could devastate the lives of an estimated million-plus people, I’d like to think three minutes of your time is a fair exchange. It has been reported that 100 Labour MPs have

Hi @TfL been at Charing Cross waiting for a Bakerloo line northbound for 20 mins. No information at the station/on the app. Can you update us?

Never understand when a chef puts it on fancy china and they go ‘beautiful connection the brief’. And I look at all the other imaginative designs and think - no. China is BORING. I want dry ice, bespoke pottery, magic and some sort of wild self cooking device. #greatbritishmenu

You sort of desperately hope that a new government might come in with some exciting new ideas, some values, some vision. But I expected so much more than austerity 2.0 and basically Labour rolling over to CEOs and billionaires. Shuffling some chairs about and Wes huffing on.

Here's an email template you can send to your MP to ask them to oppose disability benefits cuts (by @blacktriangle1

That's a BIG FAT NO, then. The sight of these well-paid, non-disabled, MPs pushing yet more disabled & sick people into poverty without a shred of concern is horrifying. Shall we introduce a small billionaire tax? No, let's cut the already tiny income of the poorest. Shameful.

Applying for PIP was one of the hardest things I've ever done and needed a genuine team of people to help me do it. Was humiliating,. dehumanising and horrifically depressing. The idea it needs to be made harder if fucking disgusting. Fuck these ghouls
