.@rishisunak and @greghands it's time to show leadership in not spreading misleading claims, including about other political parties. I agree with @fullfact👇 fullfact.org/blog/2023/oct/…

This is stupid.

Microsoft owns the trademark for X. This is just too good.

"Boris Johnson brought in ULEZ.. Grant Shapps told Sadiq Khan to extend it out.. But the Conservative government didn't give him the budget for a proper scrappage scheme like in Manchester and Birmingham." @jemmaforte adding context to ULEZ

@JujuliaGrace It might just be people unwilling to join X.

Something weird is going on with the algorithm - I’ve lost 200 followers this morning alone! If you support the NHS, please you could follow me and RT this? I gave up my medical career to fight for the NHS💙💙💙

@EmmaKennedy I just can't bring myself round to joining something owned by Zuckerberg. I'll stick with Mastodon.

We've had an emergency rebrand

Those damned climate protestors walking slowly, causing havoc and delays in Rhodes this afternoon. Oh, wait- sorry it’s the climate causing the havoc. Mass holiday evacuations have now begun. Perhaps we should build more wind farms or something. twitter.com/hughesy_1985/s…

Contrary to popular belief, this isn’t actually a Victoria Wood sketch.

Every red dot on this map represents the location of a food bank. If this doesn't make you angry there is something very wrong with you #ToriesOut378 #VoteTactically

Dear NatWest, I would to thank you for opening my first 🇬🇧 bank account when I came over as an Erasmus student in 1991. In September it will be 32 years. I also would like to thank you for not closing my account after Brexit even though I'm an EU citizen and I reside in ... 1/2

@GreenJennyJones Grant Schapps is showing himself to be an absolute moron.

Idiotic. Our Govt is behaving like the Opposition already.

A new tariff has been launched by @OctopusEnergy called Intelligent Octopus Flux and it works in a similar way to the EV tariff but this time controlling your home battery! At the moment it's just the @GivEnergy battery but more batteries will be added. octopus.energy/intelligent-oc…

@BethRigby The UK is suffering, but the Tories will soon be extinct.

ANALYSIS: Sunak the 1st Tory PM in 50 years to face 3 by-elex on 1 day & could become the first PM since Wilson in ‘68 to lose all three, while a Selby win = record breaker for Starmer. Lab now “warriors against complacency” as Tories in “the death throes” news.sky.com/story/were-in-…

Just a reminder of perhaps the best electric vehicle advertisement of all time, from Nissan.

A mind-bogglingly foolish decision. on.ft.com/3NUFDlX

Only 31% want to continue with #Brexit! 57% said the decision to leave the EU was wrong, 32% say it was correct. More than half - 55% - said they would vote to rejoin the EU, against 31% who said they would stay out, if a referendum were held today. reuters.com/world/uk/more-…

Matt Frei, "Do you think the government has gone backwards since COP26" @CarolineLucas "That's unquestionably the case.. This is the government giving the green light to 100 new oil and gas licenses in the north sea. Giving £10 billion to fossil fuel companies. And a new coal mine. The idea of this Conservative government as a climate leader, is a bad joke."
