Seductive Liberty is over-rated, until we put Good Will before Self-interest. Righteous Equality is over-rated until we put Respect For Diversity before Sameness & Conformity. Taking responsibility for our own power & for what we create in & extract from, the world = Fraternity

@LizWebsterSBF @narindertweets @benhabib6 Today, there are more than 3000 billionaires with a total personal wealth equivalent to the GDP of China. This is a systemic problem that must be dealt with if democracy is to survive.

@narindertweets @benhabib6 This is a turf war among Brexit gangsters fighting to be the godfather, using money, deals and power plays while obliterating each other. The murky world that sold the Brexit lies are only interested in personal gain.

Extraordinary allegations from @benhabib6 !! Ben Habib alleges that Nigel Farage & Boris Johnson were paid £1m each by Christopher Harborne to essentially rig the election in favour of Johnson. He also claims the undeclared £5m "gift" Farage received in 2024 from Harborne was payment for Farage to take over as party leader of Reform UK and stand in Clacton.

Local councils should match how we vote. They do in Scotland, N. Ireland and in Wales councils can choose a fairer system. England is being left behind. Add your name to @electoralreform's call for everyone to have a vote that can make a difference. action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/2401/peti…

Our #PoliticalPrimary model can defeat the Conservatives where there's a divided progressive majority. 58 seats are suitable. Here's us explaining how it works👇 southdevonprimary.org politicalprimary.org/target-map 🧵1/

This thematic review into BBC coverage of economics is so interesting & totally relevant for all media organisations 👇 Full review here... bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/20…

@jemmaforte @MailOnline Apparently it took 3 journalists to write this!

@Jonathan_Rowson @freddiesayers Legitimacy & trust must be rebuilt which requires a new social contract starting with PR to prevent state capture (Brexit, Charter Cities, privatisation of UK assets) & then a constitutional convention leading to a new settlement away from over centralisation

@freddiesayers Let’s rethink it from the first principles of c1945 with a view to operationalising those principles for the demographic & technological (&ecological) context of 2045; while recognising the functionality of the NHS is about political competence & will, and wider policy context?

How bad do the NHS disaster stories have to get for the conversation to move on from “it just needs more money” to “we have to rethink it from first principles”?

UK chose finance over industry ( transaction vs production) austerity over investment (levelling down vs levelling up) a closed economy over an open one (Brexit over EU) & became the poor man of Europe

Facebook agree to be fined 0.01% of profits for brokering Brexit & undermining democracy! Orwell prize for journalists who revealed scandal

@lucypascoe1984 @brexit_sham $40 billion is one years profits for Meta - no wonder they agreed to settle on a fine of 0.01% of that.

@brexit_sham Meta can also now pay the British public the £40 billion +++ per year that Brexit has cost the UK taxpayer. Brexit was brought on via Facebook (Meta) selling our data to Cambridge Analytica so that targetted pro-Brexit ads (often lies) could be sent to UK swing Brexit voters.

Here in the UK a small group of journalists revealed the Cambridge Analytica scandal to a population that had been kept in the dark. Here's one of them receiving the Orwell prize, just one of the female journalists who have been persecuted for shining a light into the darkness.

So Mark Zuckerberg misled Congress over Facebook's involvement with Cambridge Analytica. Remember, CA's sister company AIQ took payments of nearly £3,657,000 from Vote Leave & associated #Brexit groups. An unprecedented attack on UK democracy. bylinetimes.com/2020/09/30/tru…

It’s easy to point out the flaws in other people, that’s why so many do it. It’s difficult to face your own flaws and commit to becoming better slowly, every day.

@BellaWallerstei Owning land & $ money are insufficient qualification/ capability to be given right to decide what a locality needs! Communities are best placed To know but have no say. Design briefs must be open to community scrutiny & creativity. We need service providers not predators

Conservative MPs need to realise that by celebrating planning permission refusals on Twitter, they are celebrating the decline of their own party. At present, the majority of young people are deprived of becoming stakeholders in property and they feel betrayed.

@BellaWallerstei Trying to solve the housing crisis with the same level of thinking that has created it won't work Bella. Tories cant conserve by supporting a system based on speculation rather than providing for need. Its not a housing market its an asset market from which most are excluded.

@soniasodha Scotland seemed to be a paragon of common sense compared to preda -Tory run England. Sadly no more!

The SNP have today sided with the desires of male sex offenders over women and girls who’ve suffered sexual violence at the hands of men. I hope Scottish voters make them pay.

A common question from business or public authorities we work with is 'where do we start?' when considering how to move towards regenerative culture and organsational design. There are simple ways to start that do not require £££ and that activate consciousness. A thread 1/5

The Gov’s £21bn affordable housing programme misses its target by 32,000 homes. The business as usual development model will not deliver affordable homes. We need new & radical models. @agile_homes we unlock land hidden in plain sight. #HousingForAll theguardian.com/society/2022/d…

Owning land & £ = insufficient qualification or capability to be given the right to decide what a locality needs Communities are best placed to know but have no say Design briefs must be open to community creativity & scrutiny Developers must be changed into service providers

@IoWBobSeely @luhc @michaelgove @lucyfrazermp @10DowningStreet @Telegraph @thetimes @PA Owning land is insufficient capability or qualification to build what a locality needs. Communities are best placed to know but have no say. Design briefs need to be open to to community creativity & scrutiny. Predatory developers need to be changed into service providers.

We’ve reached an understanding with Gov’t re. #planning & we’re discussing with colleagues. We need a community-led, #green & regenerative system. 🏡🏡 #housing @luhc @michaelgove @lucyfrazermp #iwnews @10DowningStreet @Telegraph @thetimes @PA 1/17 telegraph.co.uk/politics/2022/…

@andyverity @BBCRadio4 Time for a 30min BBC special/doc, a real “Wake Up To Money” ie how the economy really works? 🙏

I thread about what politicians really mean when they say "we can't afford it".
