Record corporate profits should mean record contracts. It's time American autoworkers got a fair deal.

It shouldn’t be controversial. It shouldn’t need courage. It just shouldn’t. – at South East, England
Can you imagine if every broadcaster had this type of courage and moral sense to make these type of statements daily. Thank you @GaryLineker for being on the right side of the #ClimateEmergency history.

About to experience one of my all-time favourite journeys (again!), London Euston to Ft William on the @CalSleeper. IMHO, the best train in Britain. #gifted.

It turns out the MET police will arrest you for: a) wearing a t-shirt b) holding a banner c) or literally no reason at all Britain in 2023. #PublicOrderBill
Exclusive: Thought the arrest of @GrahamSmith_ and @RepublicStaff protesters at the King’s coronation was a bit over the top? Meet Alice Chambers, a quiet, 36-year-old Aussie who’s lived in London for about seven years. What happened to her on Saturday is a wild ride.🧵

Tumbleweeds start out as tiny seedlings; by summer the plant has a round shape. They grow flowers and fruits. By fall they dry and detach from their roots, so they spread their seeds [source: buff.ly/3PEUYWt] [video: buff.ly/3GYXgwE]

This 3 minute clip from 2021 is still being widely shared. It's helpful if you want to understand how Gary Lineker feels about the issue of refugees, about his relationship with the BBC - and about the idea of the BBC telling him what he can and can't tweet.

Genius. 👋👋👋
It was inevitable. The song is a mess, like the situation the BBC has found itself in. But this one's dedicated to all the dudes showing solidarity with @GaryLineker on @BBCMOTD. ⚽️🎶 #IStandWithGary #GaryLineker #BBCQuestionTime #WatfordFCManagementApproachNeeded 🐝

No tomato shortage here - but I’m in Kherson, a frontline Ukrainian city that gets shelled by the Russians daily, not a British supermarket.

Tomatoes and peppers are like gold dust right now - seemingly impossible to find in supermarkets, and images of empty shelves are spreading across social media. So how come we still have tomatoes? Read here: instagram.com/p/Co7pO_LoSCj/ #foodshortages

Not all rich people use offshore trusts and other tricks to pay less tax. The Sunday Times lists the UK’s biggest taxpayers, who make a lot of money but happily live here and pay their taxes for the advantages of doing so bit.ly/3jhc2b1
