Very pleased my @TEDxDoncaster talk is now live. Citizenship is the ideal we desperately need to honour and strive towards if we are going to create a sustainable world and live together in a spirit of justice. #EverydayCitizenship @citizen_network https://t.co/Jvke7JPpHt

Local Healthwatch is under threat 🚨 Replacing independent watchdogs with apps + in-house consultation = weaker scrutiny, less trust, & lost voices. It’s not too late to call for a rethink. @jacoblant 👉 https://t.co/dLn6HcXQ6X #PatientVoice #NHS

Ahead of a crucial vote on cuts to disability benefits, our new evidence casts doubt on whether jobs are even available for disabled people facing cuts 📢 The analysis found that the parts of the country among the hardest hit by the cuts have fewer job opportunities 1/3

I've joined over 100 MPs to back an amendment which, if passed, would halt the Government's planned social security cuts. The Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill has not had a formal consultation with disabled people. It has not been co-produced by them or

I've signed this amendment. Disabled people have not been consulted and we have not given enough time for the government’s reforms on employment support to work. In the middle of a cost of living crisis, we cannot risk a rushed Bill taking money off disabled people.

So I went to see Spike Milligan's gravestone recently, to see for myself the "I told you I was ill" epitaph. Bright sunny day, slightly faded inscription, couldn't see it. Walked away somewhat disgruntled, another bloody urban myth I thought. 5 minutes later had a thought, had

Thanks all the Think Tanks that give governments all that help... that KILLS.. or HARMS vulnerable.. You make us sick - Now who is going to STOP ALL THIS? #MPs

This bodes ill. Especially when your entire GE29 strategy appears to now rest on ‘they’ve got nowhere else to go’. Like Brexit & Trump - this shows voters will vote against their rational self-interest to deliver a slap to a status quo that is literally crushing them.

In December 2023 I wrote an article criticising Sir Keir Starmer for praising Margaret Thatcher in his Daily Telegraph article. The day after praising Thatcher his website took down his “ten pledges”, replaced by “404 – page not found”. His praise for Thatcher, I said, was

This is delicious: how China's DeepSeek has blown a $1 trillion hole in the US Technofeudal Order. All it took was a smart tech solution that turned OpenAI's process of commodifying our data into a free good. Let's see how our technofeudalists respond

I'm proud of my beautiful, kind, thoughtful, hilarious sons. And I'm proud of us, our little family. I can't be dad 🖤 but I'm a lot of mum. Often think about my mums sayings-'you've heart like a lion you', ... apples don't fall far from trees ❤️

@JamieACooke @simonjduffy @SheffSocScience Superb from @simonjduffy plus a passionate appeal from @HannanRuth @caref_ll to throw the entire socioeconomic funding mess up in the air & start again from first principles.
