Everything wrong with our politics, in one story: Hedge fund manager buys large estate on Dartmoor. Uses vast fortune to challenge the right to camp there. Wins. Local people call on their MP to amend the legislation. Discover he's been funded by the hedge fund manager.

@saffonskye I was thinking the same.. I'm hoping someone will tweet where it's from!

Watching #TheOneShow and obsessed with this dress

I don't like tofu

@ThePeopleVers I did, thank you! Great set x

@ThePeopleVers what time are you playing Purbeck tonight?

@Jargonautical Love the use of the word "thing" 😁

So, it looks like I'll be in Manchester for a thing this coming Monday ... if anyone is about and wants to catch up, let me know ☕️🙂

@DunelmUK I need two screws and a decorative 'button' for a unit I have built but these items were substandard. Your CS team expect me to send whole unit back (to replace and build all over again) rather than send three tiny spare parts?!!!

The Devon Windrush flag has been raised above County Hall tonight to mark Windrush Day, 74 years after the Empire Windrush arrived at Tilbury docks and its passengers began a new life in Britain. Read the full story 👉 soc.devon.cc/SM7Mx

so happy we can finally call them quarter pounders and not 454 grammers

Utterly rubbish service from @DPDgroup_news today. Delivered my parcel to wrong house - not even close. Brick wall for customer service. No way of contacting them or asking for them to correct their error and I was told by retailer I had to go and find it! 😡

@EveningStandard Err...no, positive Covid test results are at their lowest: because people are no longer testing.

Covid infections across the UK are now at their lowest level since before Christmas, with rates also falling in London bit.ly/3MbdBQU

#MothersDay. One hour shorter than Father's Day.

@jk_rowling Your understanding of gender identity is wrong. You seem to be confusing transvestites and transgender people.

Far right to little boy wearing a dress: take that off, it means you're not a real man. Gender identity theorists: wanting to wear dresses means you're really a girl. Radical feminists: boys can wear dresses, you look great! Which of these two positions are most alike, Andrew?

@jk_rowling If this was a conversation about race, you would sound like a white supremacist

Apparently, under a Labour government, today will become We Who Must Not Be Named Day.

Someone please send the Shadow Minister for Equalities a dictionary and a backbone. #HappyInternationalWomensDay

This bot is tweeting pay disparity data at companies posting about International Women’s Day theverge.com/2022/3/8/22966…

Word of the day is 'supercilian' (17th century): a contemptuous/supercilious individual who considers most people to be beneath them. From the Latin for 'raised eyebrow'.

So Boris Johnson's new Housing Minister is a landlord who voted against a parliamentary amendment placing a duty on landlords to ensure that their rented properties are 'fit for human habitation'.

"Eliminate" illiteracy and inumeracy but only reduce "50%" of "non-decent rented homes". Last I looked at Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, I'm pretty sure that shelter and health came before reading and writing 🙄 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

@carolinenokes I'm not a 'Tory supporter' but I support everything you are doing to stand up to discrimination and harassment. When you speak out, you speak for millions of women who don't have a voice or position of power.

And to Justin Barker - thank you for your email tonight: “I wish he had raped you you filthy Tory whore.” That is the level of discourse women MPs have to deal with, every single day.
