I’m back on @BBCRadio3 this morning at 10:30 with @andrewCDmcg, trying to choose my favourite recording of the Saint-Saens organ symphony - turns out I have some quite strong opinions about this piece 😂 see you there!!

A visit to Grantham Probation today to spend time with one of our Women’s Service Practitioners. A lively group craft session with some excellent examples of peer support, ETE from one of our @co_financing Case Managers, and several cases desperately needing housing #TeamWork

The private company Restore Trust is now circulating a fundraising email asking for 'donations' & claiming that only 15,887 National Trust members voted against their Quick Vote resolution this year. This is not true. *69,715 members voted against it and it was defeated.* Pls RT

Still reeling from this horrific evidence from Prof John Edmunds at the Covid Inquiry yesterday. In refusing to lockdown in autumn 2020, Boris Johnson was responsible for up to 25,000 Covid deaths by ignoring the experts & evidence. It’s sickening 😔

Worth reposting this from Autumn last year. I can see from some tweets that there’s still a bit of confusion.
To clarify once again: Restore Trust is NOT part of the National Trust. Restore Trust is the trading name for RT2021Ltd, a private company. This is really important. Please challenge this claim when you see it in their corporate communications. Please RT.

One of the aims of manufactured ‘woke rows’ is to undermine institutions and their influence. But independent research consistently shows public trust in @nationaltrust is very high.

Judges get power to order criminals to attend sentencing hearing including by force if necessary but plan fraught with diffs - getting prisoner up narrow steps into dock and dealing with someone who may shout abuse at victim’s family, police, jury and judge

👇🏻 is true. Yet not a word across most of the media so far as I can tell. Corruption breeds when the media turns a blind eye to things it knows to be true
The house building industry are major donors to the Tory party and today they got a bung from Sunak and Gove - who removed water pollution protections from new house building, and dumped the cost on the taxpayer instead. That’s how they roll.

If sex doesn’t mean biological sex then women & girls are no longer protected under sex discrimination law. The decades of fighting by past generations, who suffered to get injustices recognised, is being eroded by a small groups of aggressive, narcissistic, entitled men

All the while such stupidity persists it has to countered. Toss a coin once and you won’t know if it’ll be heads or tails (weather: will it rain next week?) but after 1000 tosses you know half will be heads (climate: longer range average trend).
Matt goes to the heart of it. With current measurement technology and state-of-the-art computers it is still impossible to predict the weather more than a few days ahead. Yet these same people, with the same technology, think they can model long term climate change. They can't.

Boycott @CostaCoffee You have more power than you realize.
Dear @CostaCoffee, Could you kindly explain why you are glorifying irreversible surgery performed on healthy breasts of women for a mental health condition?
