This is a real moment. Professor Neil Ferguson: "The epidemic was doubling every three to four days before lockdown interventions were introduced. So had we introduced lockdown measures a week earlier, we would have then reduced the final death toll by at least a half."

In a former life, when I thought you cd politely persuade people not to be racist Their response? "If you don't like it here, LEAVE". Which I'm yet to hear said to a white British person Racism is telling black people who have a critique of their own country, they should leave

In a world that has become so mad that it is impossible to parody, @DontPanic and I have turned our satirical hands to conspiracy theories instead. This is our attempt to vaccinate the world from the virus of fake news. Pls watch and share. youtube.com/watch?v=98pY07Ha…

Not surprised to see this Lancashire Police officer threatening to 'make something up'. I was arrested last year for 'assaulting a police officer'. Four officers came to court with made-up statements. I was acquitted as I was lucky to have video evidence showing they all lied!

When people see someone hoarding all the toilet rolls they are furious with them. When they see a billionaire they think ‘haven’t they done well for themselves’. People have to realise, it’s the same fucking thing.

There's always noise in survey data & we can't claim we designed an unbiased survey, but the results are clear: • Use fees to pay staff fairly (68 to 1) • Lecturers should spend 31 min per essay (10 min: 0; 20: 7; 25: 6; 30: 42; 35: 1; 40: 16) • Students would strike (68 to 0)

We’ve rented a Christmas tree this year from @HeeleyCityFarm - it comes in a pot and you take it back after Christmas. Brilliant scheme, saves cutting one down or buying a plastic one! #Sheffield #zerowaste #ecochristmas #zerowastechristmas #zerowastexmas

If you grew up in a comfortable household you should watch this. Being poor is expensive. There are multiple ways poor people are scammed. Utilities & housing just one eg where poor people are disproportionately exploited. Use your vote in this general election to change things.
NEW VIDEO ALERT 🗣🗣🗣 Rich people have more money (like, obviously). So why is it so expensive to be poor?

This #ClimateStrike is inspiring - full of young people who are demanding change to protect our planet and their future. Labour will honour that demand by kickstarting a Green Industrial Revolution.
