They came after me with the cat lady shit too. So please just sit down & listen. Misogyny is one of the deadliest weapons on earth. Misogyny is electoral interference. Misogyny is a national security threat so lethal we can’t even see it. https://t.co/0Ll2tdji0t

HS2 Ltd estimates that closing down Phase 2 will take three years to complete at a cost of up to £100 million Disposing of Phase 2 land and property will take several years and DfT is in the process of establishing a strategy to achieve value for money from the disposals 3/9

I hope I’m wrong but this week feels like a dark inflection point for America. The tech bros have got their man on the presidential ticket. My piece for @ObserverUK on the tech billionaires backing Trump. Welcome to the broligarchy. https://t.co/N3E4gjuPHB
