Me, my feminism and my four hours of broken sleep are getting up to face this day.

When Twitter was good, it was the absolute best. But it’s so rarely that now, and while I don’t see as much of the offensive stuff as others seem to be, I see enough to know I can’t stay. Ah well. Hoping to find my chums elsewhere. 2/2

I think it’s time to go. I can’t stay to prop up Musk’s empire. I’m on Threads and BlueSky under the same name and the only thing that’s kept me hanging on here is the hope someone would invent a way to teleport my entire Follow list seamlessly to one or the other. 1/2

NEW: 7 of the 10 most deprived areas in England have witnessed riots in the past 10 days. 12 out of the 23 local authorities where violence erupted are in the top decile for deprivation, suggesting a relationship between pockets of poverty and unrest 1/4 @LOS_Fisher @amy_borrett

Nigel Farage has seen his favourability ratings take a knock over the last week, and now has a negative net favourability score among Leave voters for the first time (-4, compared to +7 on 30-31 Jul) His score has fallen particular among Tory voters (from -10 to -27) – among the

Perhaps it’s time to take the concerns of these protesters into consideration?

🚨 NEW: There have been no reports of riots tonight as thousands of anti-racist protesters significantly outnumber anti-immigration demonstrators across the country

First they came for Tommy Robinson. And I held the door open and pointed at Tommy Robinson.

Walthamstow an update for tonight on how to get home safely if you use central station and the need to be aware there’s lots of disinformation being shared - please help us get through this together by sharing this!

Before people start ascribing the British riots to an economically deprived underclass maybe we could wait to see who is charged with offences. So far we have a removals company owner, a welder, and a bunch of people with several existing criminal convictions each.

I strongly believe in letting your kids choose their own future but not you baby Bolt. Go warm up 😭😭

It’s 7 days since those poor wee girls were attacked & killed at Southport & yet we aren’t even talking about them or their families or the others who were injured anymore. I find that genuinely astonishing.
