Are you bored? Would you like to play with an interactive map showing all the 38,590 overseas entities holding English/Welsh real estate? With clickable thingies that let you identify where someone has unlawfully hidden their ownership... https://t.co/3mVgX5DceJ

Err …yes. 🧐 Even Tory’s actually. ā€œIt is no coincidence that almost 98% of maintained nursery schools are rated as good or outstanding by Ofsted. They are key drivers of social mobility and provide exceptional services and resources to children in their care.ā€ Gillian Keegan

Labour’s plan for babies…. Six months with mummy or daddy (if you’re lucky) then handed over to the State so mummy and daddy can get back to the Critical National Endeavour of Generating GDP. Has anyone asked if this is best for children? https://t.co/SyNxbI2Qyp 1/4

Was great to join tonight’s @Labour_MH event and share my thoughts. There’s a lot of work ahead, but it’s essential that we take early action if we’re to prevent the traumatic and disastrous outcomes highlighted by tonights excellent speakers

šŸ¤” Are you donating to charity this Christmas? Don’t let your money end up in a criminal’s pocket. The risk of fraud should not put you off giving to charities, but should be vigilant and make sure you are giving safely. https://t.co/7yCmj3Sk6Y #12Frauds

Peatlands are the UK's largest natural carbon stores — yet they continue to be burnt to benefit grouse shooting. Wild Moors is today thanking @TheFabians for backing @UKLabour's policy to licence grouse moors and introduce a complete ban on burning in its new climate report.

Met someone online who's asking you for money? Stop and think as it could protect you and your cash. Criminals are experts at impersonating people. They spend hours researching you for their scams, especially when committing romance fraud. https://t.co/Snprym2tJi #12Frauds

Just seen myself quoted for the first time on the #BBCNews app alongside my councillor colleagues. In completely unrelated news here’s a #BBC article about how awful society is at using professional titles when it comes to women. https://t.co/3K4nfIEbxI #ImmodestWomen

There are disparities in whose knowledge and experience get acknowledged. That’s why professional titles matter, especially for those less likely to be perceived as experts.

Delighted to report that earlier this week the Fraud and Cyber Teams worked together to return £8,000,000 of stolen bitcoin back to its rightful owner. The offenders, however, are spending Christmas at His Majesty's pleasure. RESULT!

Cloned company scams affect both new and experienced investors. Fraudsters are impersonating the websites of real firms offering investments in stocks, crypto-currency and ISA’s. Learn to spot the signs, don’t hand your savings to a scammer: https://t.co/xgc9ApqwBm #12Frauds
