We've had a shortage of housing since the 80s but it wasn't a "crisis" while it was just low income households that were suffering
It only became a "crisis" when the children of middle income parents couldn't afford to buy their own homes
Jeremy Corbyn@jeremycorbyn
Want to fix the housing crisis? Build new council homes, introduce rent caps and end the scourge of empty homes. We need housing for public good, not private profit.

Watching @DonOrsillo with the #Padres feed on my big screen and the NESN #RedSox feed on the second screen.
Gotta get my live baseball fix after missing two nights (3am starts are bad, m'kay.)
(About ten seconds difference between the feeds)

@MLBTV Why on earth is the Cardinals RedSox game blacked out in the UK? We've never had Sunday night games blocked before. Makes no sense!

@bobrmitchell Funding thirty years of pensions with fewer people in employment and paying taxes is an impossibility. When originally set you could expect to get maybe five if you were lucky.
France is going to have severe problems when they're unable to pay pensions.
English
So as Britons face having to work until 70 to get state pension if born since 1979 the French people almost topple the Government with a threat to increase retirement age from 62 to 64.
Why are the British like serfs & so subservient and spineless? apple.news/Aqi185vP3Qcy3W…

If Ofsted inspects a school that is forced to teach kids who turn up hungry, and has had its funding so viciously cut that it can barely afford a pack of pencils, that is NOT a failing school. That is a failing government.

The cost of taking one's own vehicle is not just the cost of the fuel.

Today I'm travelling to York for the @LibDems Spring Conference. I would like to go by train, but it costs £172. Even with fuel costing so much at the moment, it is still cheaper and the same duration to drive. When will the Government sort out public transport in this country?

Thought this might be a good moment to float this back up on the timeline. I'm so proud of this show and the people behind it: The ones who work on it and the ones who watch it and make it mean something. Our stories matter. #ALeagueOfTheirOwn
English
Would I like #ALOTO to get renewed properly?
- Yes, of course.
Am I surprised that it isn't?
- Not at all.
Why not?
- Because every story about characters outside the mainstream gets canned no matter the ratings.

We heard that the #ALeagueOfTheirOwn team is fighting for #MoreThanFour eps. The TV Team got together to talk about what this show means to us; we want you to share your stories and help us help Amazon understand the fullness of the series' impact. #ALOTO autostraddle.com/a-league-of-th…

The extension had to be built in order for permission to build the housing, but yes Portishead line needs to happen too, definitely.

It's interesting that they can build a dedicated link for 10,000 homes without demur in the South East (Barking Riverside), but getting the same in the SW for Portishead is a big ask.

Rather than damaging the economy by raising taxes, the government should cancel expensive vanity projects like HS2 and Trident.

Makes sense to prioritise improvements to the network where the largest number of people need to be moved.

@Ogilvie_CJ "until 2200"
It's only 2023 though. I hope they've got enough food on board! 😉

1234 & our 1037 has finally left Salerno!
Broken down train in front apparently, but these huge delays don’t seem to worry the Italians.
Fortunately got a text offering a 50% /€41 refund straight away.
On this train now until 2200 😳
Salerno, Campania 🇮🇹 English
Salerno, Naples - destination Palermo, Sicily.
Starting one of my longest train journeys, #IC723 500 miles/800 km & 9hrs.
🚢 On the ship across Messina strait around 1500/1400GMT, Palermo arrive 1925, but 30 late already.

@Woman4W @suzyglitter1 @jessphillips "One is not born but becomes a woman"
Simone de Beavoir, The Second Sex.

@AlisonW @suzyglitter1 @jessphillips I get it, your pride is wounded. Go educate yourself, don't have a tantrum. 🙄
English
We need deeds not words to stop the avoidable killings of women by men. It was an honour to read their names in front of bereaved families. Every year it is overwhelming.
English
@Woman4W @suzyglitter1 @jessphillips I was replying to your tweet, not Sylvia Plath, and nobody is born 'a woman' either. Thank you for your ignorance.
English
@AlisonW @suzyglitter1 @jessphillips The quote above states 'born a woman' and everyone knows what it means, but I say 'born a man' and you suddenly get stupid.🙄
English
@Woman4W @suzyglitter1 @jessphillips Nobody is "born a man". Everyone is born a baby. Through love, nurture, and self-realisation we each come to know ourselves.
Being murdered for who we are is about how others see us.
English
@suzyglitter1 @jessphillips She purposefully included at least one person born a man on the list this year, so. This quote doesn't really apply anymore thanks to her, does it.

@qikipedia @Radlein Implication that chariots had to have mandatory identification attached.
English
The oldest known parking restrictions were in Nineveh, Assyria in 700 BCE. The penalty for parking your chariot on a prohibited road was death.
