Said this before and I’ll say it again. If pensioners above a certain income are no longer entitled to winter fuel allowance, then MPs earning over £90k should no longer get energy expenses. Also MPs should no longer get food allowance when they’re unwilling to give free school meals to kids from lowest income households. Why are you entitled to expenses but the people who NEED it most are not?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The enemy of the working class travels by private jet, not migrant dinghy.

🚨HOW TO BE A GREAT PR, ACCORDING TO A JOURNALIST🚨 It's Friday and I'd like to give some love to PRs by highlighting some of the best things they have done for me as a journalist over the years. Here is how the best PRs work and tips you can replicate! (1/?)

It’s important to remember that Wes Streeting, a gay man, is attacking the healthcare of the very group of people who fought for the rights he enjoys today.

Alan Milburn and his family have made a huge amount of money from the private health sector- @PeterKGeoghegan has written a v important article (link below!) about this. If it concerns you that Wes Streeting intends to involve him in plans for the NHS, please retweet this!🚨💙

So @Waterstones bookseller @TillyLovesBooks can be fired for publicly disagreeing with a transphobic author, but you can retweet “what is a woman” guff from Irvine Welsh and keep your job? Perfectly fine and normal, this is what neutrality looks like, no further questions

“English has benefited me not only by enriching my mind and feeding my passion for reading and for literature as a subject – it has also shaped the way I approach problem-solving professionally and in regards to society”📚 journalist Rory Buccheri, MA English 2022 #EnglishCreates

“I’ve found that you’re not going to have the really great travel experiences if you’re not willing to experience the bad ones. If you don’t leave yourself open for things to happen to you, nothing really is going to happen to you, good or bad. The great travel epiphanies seem to sneak up on you because you kind of fucked up, you took a wrong turn, and you ended up in a place where you permitted events to unfold.” –Anthony Bourdain Image source: No Reservations promotional photo, Travel Channel Quote source: Business Insider, 2016 #AnthonyBourdain #tuesdaymotivation #TuesdayFeeling #tuesdaythoughts

Which is it?? Can't have it both ways @aberdeenuni
It seems that the pursuit of truth is officially "vexatious," according to @aberdeenuni Both of my FOI requests were rejected today, as I've apparently asked too many questions of senior management... Extraordinary.

Dear Mr Sunak, On behalf of pretty much every doctor in the land, pretty much every person on a waiting list in the land, pretty much every sick person in the land, and increasingly most voters in the land...

Lord Byron died exactly 200 years ago today, after falling ill in Greece while gathering an army to fight the Ottoman Empire. Raise your game, Simon Armitage. There is plenty to be said about his death, and you will not struggle to find that. I, however, want to talk about..

So #AllOfUsStrangers, the best British film we’ve had in years, won nothing at the BAFTAS AKA the British film awards. Not for the performances, not for the direction, and not for that mercurial marvel of a script either. This is somehow worse than the Oscars snub. I hate it here
