@OKMobilityCorp you have not responded to my DM nor to my complaint to your customer service email. Shame!!!

@OKMobilityCorp you have given us a car without a working AC in the middle of summer. You won’t come and replace it as the car is can drive, and we will waste a day to get a replacement. We are in the middle of Navarra with my 87 year old mum… Not acceptable. Do something!

@OKMobilityCorp Have sent a DM

It is necessary, among other issues, to increase taxes on the richest people, including on their wealth, and ensure that multinational pay fair taxes in all countries where they operate. These and other proposals are analyzed in this op ed. project-syndicate.org/commentary/glo…

I know it's under-funded & overstretched, but I'm so impressed by @NHS. I get doctor appointments much faster than when I lived in the US. Proactively preventive care too. An elderly relative has been looked after so well after a stroke. Fab. Take my taxes! More public services!

Happy 90th birthday--and wishing for many more years of an incredibly productive life--to one of the most iconic intellectuals of our times #AmartyaSen. So many of us have learned so much from his wide-ranging and profound contributions.

After ten amazing years as @IDS_UK Director - what a privilege and a pleasure - my tenure comes to an end in April 2024. Please help spread the word about the search for my successor, to lead this wonderful institution and community on the next stage of its journey.
