Britain doesn’t need revolution or nostalgia - it needs serious reform. I don't run a political party but if I did it would believe in something like this - https://t.co/AORjFIGVlU What do you think? Which UK party would be closest to these positions? #UKPolitics #Politics

My review of Honoured by @NazShahBfd - rarely does this 50+ gruff secondary school teacher from Rotherham get emotional but this book got me many times. Highly recommended read. Read my review https://t.co/qCoKBsNHd2

Listened to @WilliamClouston on @AndrewGold_ok podcast. Heard him a few times. He's one of those people where the more I hear the more he impresses me. I wonder why major parties don't have people like him in leadership positions? Maybe time for major parties is over? @SDPhq

I’ve just finished Honoured by @NazShahBfd & it’s one of the most powerful & awe-inspiring autobiographies I’ve ever read. What she & her family endured, and what she has gone on to achieve, is simply extraordinary. I closed the book in absolute awe. I urge you to read it!!

If @UKLabour had a scintilla of that strength, courage and understanding of the real world in the upper echelons of its leadership they may not be in the God awful mess they are in at the moment.

Sometimes the strongest response to disrespect isn’t anger — it’s dignity. Respect is not something others earn from you; it’s something you choose not to lose. #Respect #Stoicism #Character #SelfRespect #Wisdom

Immigration gets blamed for almost all ills in Britain right now. But pull that thread: what actually unravels & what stays stubbornly broken? I'd like to say I've written a provocative but evidence-based read https://t.co/loVjRjtd2i

Some words are simple but quietly revolutionary. A reminder to live with urgency, and learn with patience. #Mindset #LifelongLearning #CarpeDiem #Growth #LiveFully #KeepLearning

The first signs of spring don’t arrive in parks or beer gardens. They arrive among gravestones. On snowdrops, football pioneers, and why cemeteries are among the most restorative places in a town. 🌿 #Penistone #SheffieldWednesday #Spring

When your mood drops and everything feels overwhelming, it can feel like you are the storm itself. You’re not. You’re the shore - steady, solid, still here. #MentalHealth

When you sit on your grannies sofa & wax lyrical about @Nigel_Farage & how much your admire him & then a couple of weeks later you defect to @RupertLowe10 's ragtag bag of what nots then you really must question your integrity & whether your constituents deserve a LOT better

Britain isn't just polarised, it's fragmented into 7 distinct tribes based on values, not left/right. From Progressive Activists to Dissenting Disruptors, More in Common Shattered Britain report explains why politics feels broken. Which one are you? https://t.co/NjvUMYsHBI

Do we get the politicians we deserve? As Westminster professionalises & working-class voices fade, maybe the mirror is reflecting us more than them. A reflection on hinterland, culture, and what we've lost in politics. 👇 What do you think? #UKPolitics
