Thank you to all the lovely mums, dads & everyone else who spoke to us this morn re worries about the impact Tory cuts to school budgets is having on our children’s future. Vote Labour for urgent investment in our schools, & vote @FloEshalomi to make sure we get this in #Vauxhall

Excuse the long thread, but I have looked carefully at the #BrexitDeal negotiated by Boris Johnson. Here is my analysis: 1/

Today the UK has sent a message to the world that you can be sacked for lying (twice), be derided as unfit for office by your ex-boss, have used racist language multiple times, but as long as you went to Eton and Oxford, 0.3% of the population can make you our PM #NotMyPM

Through partnerships like LEAP. we're working with communities to deliver our commitment to giving Lambeth's young people the best start in life lambeth-labour.org.uk/2019/04/16/lea…

Just to recap - 🌹No we are not proud of what our MP did yday. 🌹We passed a motion of No Confidence in our MP last Summer. 🌹We continue to ask @JennieGenSec and @UKLabour to begin the process to select our Parliamentary Candidate ahead of what might be a very soon coming GE.

@JulieAMcDowall Can’t see Gemma there. Sorry if it’s already been done!

I have synesthesia which means I can "taste" words. Ask me what your name tastes like.

hey @Ticketmaster next time you force me to interact with your site to transfer tickets, wanna fix the user experience first? Absolutely atrocious!

IPCC report is a wake up call. This is the issue of our time. As first response, government should move to net zero emissions by 2050 at the latest for UK, and use this as lever for much greater ambition globally in run up to 2020.

#WhyIDidntReport I was told I wouldn't be believed and I'd probably lose my job

Universal Credit is rolled out across Wandsworth today. Families are set to be worse off with these changes enforced by the Govt. I’ve had many people contact me with their worries. Please get in touch if you’re facing hardship as a result.

@mollybackes So much this! I am currently suffering the consequences of one of my impossible tasks - getting my prescription reordered. Every time I know it’s running out yet I do nothing, then it runs out and things just get worse. Every. Bloody. Time! And it makes no sense!

If you have a depressed person in your life, ask them what their Impossible Tasks are & figure out ways to help—without judgment. A friend once picked me up, drove me the two blocks to the pharmacy, & came in to help me refill a prescription. TWO BLOCKS. It was an amazing gift.

Depression commercials always talk about sadness but they never mention that sneaky symptom that everyone with depression knows all too well: the Impossible Task.

@LastWeekTonight more worrying than the content of Death by China, can we talk about wat possessed Martin Sheen to narrate it?!

😂

Excited to share a side project I’ve been jamming on with @leppert onym.co — an open source resource for naming things.
