This is completely unworkable without a massive investment in childcare / wrap around care provision. Many parents already struggle with childcare outside of core hours and holidays, which even if it is available is often absurdly expensive. How would this work for working parents?

Normalise this.

This is outdated dinosaur management.

This is interesting. This is also why I still listen to music on CDs, and treasure my DVD collection. Yes, that probably makes me a dinosaur, but I still have the things if they disappear of any particular platform.

Delighted to have contributed evidence to this report - this is a debate that needs to be informed by evidence and research.

It blows my mind that there are real people who see a post like this and actually believe the whole “Christmas is being cancelled by Muslims” BS 🙄 Let’s have a quick look at what’s happening to Sheffield so you can put your Express reading uncle’s mind at ease!😆 1/15 🧵

Assume it’s now Louvre1.

FFS Daily Mail No - the school classrooms were NOT used to teach “adult migrants” Your own article explains this TWICE - and yet your headline…?🙄 I covered this yesterday in a thread when it was just RW accounts lying on Twitter Now the DM are on it, let’s go again! 🧵 1/12

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community. Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Farage: epic grifter

I do this every year. A good way to have a conversation about others who might receive little for Christmas.

I will never understand how listening to people who are educated on a subject and know what they are talking about became so weaponised.

🚨Christian children were told they'd "be Muslim by year 6"!🚨 😱Sounds outrageous? You know the drill… If it sounds outrageous and designed to trigger you into being angry with “other” people, then you need to do some 🪏 1/25 🧵

I'm sorry, what?

Oh look, the female (highly accomplished professor) co-host is literally obscured.

The Reform mask has slipped. They'll always put bad bosses ahead of the rights of working people.

Um. There’s a woman presenting this too.

Please join me in congratulating Woman on her appointment

Mothers lose an average £65,618 in pay by the time their first child turns five

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals. Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’. What, Michelle? 🧵

This survey does not show this. It shows that 18-24 year olds are travelling more. They may or may not be travelling to work, they may or may not have a hybrid job. They might be going for an early pint in Spoons. Don't believe everything you read. www.techdigest.tv/2025/09/new-...

If you don't know the story of Kathrine Switzer (left), her autobiography is a joy. The first woman to run the Boston Marathon at a time when it was believed women weren't capable of long distance running. As you can see, not everyone was happy about it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have. I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

Instead of the promised "answer to autism," Trump offered families distorted science, false hope, and dangerous medical advice. My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (gift link):

Right. My students working two part time jobs and/or having an hour and a half commute to uni because they have to live at home due to the cost of student accommodation lack drive and vigour. Sure thing, Peter. The UK Govt still haven't a clue about the realities of universities today.

Projections of U.S. President Donald Trump, Britain's Prince Andrew and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were put on display against the walls of Windsor Castle while Trump was in Britain for a state visit.

They are correct....

Last week the Express ran with the following front page. So obviously I had to take a look! Is it true? How does it compare to other professions? Because anyone familiar with British RW media discourse knows they reserve a special venom for civil servants…🤷🏼‍♀️ 🧵 1/25 (1/1)

15%? Hmmmmm......

I stopped tweeting some time ago, but held onto my account. I met amazing people there, learned a lot and built a great professional network. My account is full of memories, but it is time to go.

The fact that this is not surprising makes it no less horrifying.

Just another Tuesday.

I’ve been frustrated to see so much of the ongoing story about asylum seekers and the protests against them covered without hearing from those seeking asylum and now being met with hostility and hatred I set out to speak to those directly affected to find out about the impact this is having 👇

Honey, weve all been there.

This is an utterly horrifying story that gets more dystopian with every sentence. Surrogacy too easily leads to exploitation in my view. But add in the US’s litigious culture, bloated healthcare costs and their nutso “feral personhood” stuff and you get… this.

This is brilliant. More of this in Britain please.

This is the future of leadership development.

I would be most interested to see the evidence base for some of the assertions in here, because a few of them look suspiciously like personal opinions turned into policy statements.

Reform UK have nothing else.

Predict we will see much more of this. Spoken to a number of employers increasingly fed up with this, especially AI written applications. Flip side - job seekers increasingly have to jump through hoops in applications so AI is an opportunity to save time / increase efficiency for them.

These problems require considered, intelligent solutions. Any “tough on crime” policy which does not have this as its centrepiece is a distraction. A con. Don’t let con artists and hatemongers distract from the real issues.

There are significant problems with the way that sexual violence is dealt with in the criminal justice system. There is chronic underreporting. Investigations take years. The court backlog means several more years before a trial. Complainants give up. Prosecutions collapse.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts. The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative. Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Four per cent. Four. And yet the country is once again being pulled apart by intimidating demonstrations, stirred up by disingenuous and dangerous politicians and commentators. They are getting exactly what they want.
