🧵 A fantastic #StreetStall in #Matlock in sunny #Derbyshire this weekend Women and men were eager to talk to us and find out more We had some really positive conversations, handed out loads of leaflets and have hopefully gained some new members!

@ripx4nutmeg @SaintCirce Oh bloody hell. I’ve met Matt Brittin. I thought he was sensible 🤦🏻‍♀️

The new director general of the BBC is set to be a board member of The Guardian. Matt Brittin previously worked at Trinity Mirror, Google and The Climate Group. He also has pronouns in his bio

The interior of this small rural church is one of Britain’s most remarkable Victorian artistic treasures. In the 1980s, the church was deemed structurally unsafe and this exceptionally rare and beautiful interior was almost lost to demolition. 1/10

I have received information re claims made by one Hayden against, by my count, 32 individuals & 5 corporates or unincorporated associations. If you are one of the 37 &/or have faced civil legal claims instigated by Hayden, please contact me asap, as my work has started. Thank you

@GBRChris_A Only four photos can be uploaded. I’ll save it for the follow-up post…

@rowinggeek You missed out Lord Bethell's with details of allegedly dodgy Covid PPE contracts.

I am staggered by the number of people in positions of power who have their phones stolen or completely ‘wiped’. It’s a mystery how these things happen…

@ProudofusUK Feisty bunch in West Wales… we still are!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧 In 1839 the farmers of West Wales were being crushed alive. So they put on dresses. And declared war. Their name was Rebecca. 🪓 West Wales. 1839. Rent to the landlord. Tithes to the English Church. And on every road, a tollgate. You couldn't move without paying. On the night of 13 May 1839 a crowd appeared at the Efailwen tollgate in Pembrokeshire. Every single one of them was dressed as a woman. Long skirts. Bonnets. Shawls. Work boots visible beneath the hems. Their leader stood at the front. They called her Rebecca. The name came from the Bible. Genesis 24:60. "Let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them." They destroyed the gate. The trust rebuilt it. Rebecca came back. They destroyed it again. The trust rebuilt it a second time. Rebecca destroyed it a third time. The trust gave up. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 By 1843 the raids had spread across all of west Wales. Two hundred and fifty tollhouses destroyed. Two thousand people marched on the Carmarthen workhouse and tried to burn it down. Nobody knew who Rebecca was. That was the point. Everyone was Rebecca. One person died. Sarah Williams. Seventy-five years old. The keeper of the Hendy tollgate, Carmarthenshire. On the night of September 9th 1843 Rebecca came for her gate. She was ordered to leave. She refused. They set fire to the tollhouse. She walked to her neighbour's door. She said: "Dear, dear." And fell down dead. Those who were caught were transported to Tasmania. Never to return. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 In 1844, Parliament passed the South Wales Turnpike Trusts Act. The hated toll on lime was halved. The trusts were brought to heel. Two hundred and fifty gates destroyed. One act of Parliament. The farmers won. Nobody knows who Rebecca was. Nobody was ever identified as the leader. Everyone was Rebecca. Did they teach you their story? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧 Nobody keeps these stories alive. Unless we all do. 👉 proudofus.co.uk/support Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

Inspiring story from Fulham Reach BC. A great @BritishRowing success story has been our dominance of Paralympic rowing. Good to see the initiative expanding to grassroots…

@ProfLAppleby Important work but surely the recording should be ‘sex’ not ‘gender’. This is a major flaw in prevention of clusters where clarity is paramount.

A message of the guidance on suicide clusters is that in some settings - eg schools & universities - we need to act on 1st incident. One death & the full preventive response should follow. gov.uk/government/pub…

@PrishaMosley @Lostlain1 Kids will always pick up coughs, colds, ear infections, tummy bugs. But you can protect them from the really serious diseases… vaccinate. I’m old enough to have had measles, mumps etc as a child and they are serious. Then it’s good diet, fresh air and exercise. Good luck.

Calling on moms…. Can you share with me some good immunity and house keeping tips? I don’t want my kids getting sick like I am. What things help with staying healthy that aren’t too hard to do?

@BareReality @LakeTania I can, sadly.

Why would a transgender male want this role? I can't think of a single good answer.

Happy 2nd birthday to the brilliant @xx_xyathletics! How absurd that they've been suspended from advertising on Meta. They have our total admiration and support for their battle for fairness for women and girls. Great merch too!

Enough! No more special pleading for influence, for 'understanding’ and exemptions. No more priority access for one group undermining the rights of others. Judges must implement the law as it is written. They must ensure courtroom impartiality and the delivery of justice. Complete independence is essential - the fair treatment of everyone depends on it. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/2…

@nat_fahy Well done Nottingham Post. This is why we need our regional journalists.

Nottinghamshire Police tried to stop us reporting matters of public interest and when it didn't go the way they wanted it to, they reported us to our regulator. Thankfully, IPSO saw sense and threw their complaint out. For the Chief Constable to say now that this was a mistake is quite frankly pathetic. Instead of trying to protect their reputation, the force and Chief Constable should have been communicating properly with the people who really matter here - the families of the victims and the survivors of those horrific attacks. nottinghampost.com/news/nottingha…

@moleatthedoor @Lostlain1 🤣

One of my personal favourites - by which I mean, my own Tweets was this. To be fair - it took her several days to block me... 🤓 (Apologies for the 'self-promotion', of course!🫣 But what the hell, everyone else does! 🤓🥹)

@ShutupLyle @FruellaDeBrille When I was that age it was Rizla roll-ups and shag tobacco nicked from my grandad. We were all thin as pins - it was the 70s though. No one was fat.

My daughter is interested in getting into smoking cigarettes (for weight loss) does anybody have any recommendations for beginner cigarettes that won’t make her cough too much? She hasn’t been taking to the Marlboro Reds. She’s 11

🌹 THIS SATURDAY Abergavenny High Street 🌹 We are incredibly proud to announce our very first Red Flowers for Afghan Women and Girls event, coming to the historic 'Gateway to Wales' - and we would love for you to be part of it. Find us on the High Street, at the corner of Mountain Warehouse, where you can stop by our pop-up stall, choose a complimentary red tulip gift, and leaflets carrying the extraordinary, courageous words of Afghan women and girls writing under Taliban rule. Their words deserve to be heard🌹 @WRNAfghanistan

There's a certain kind of bloke on the Left who contracts out his thinking re sex/gender to people like @HarrietHarman & @stellacreasy. It's because of a shallow acquaintance with their past high profile activity, and, tbh, laziness. Said blokes should read the replies here.
