URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts... 1) You can do it online here registertovote.service.gov.uk/country-of-res… 2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages. 3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing ) 4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June gov.uk/apply-for-phot…

Oh no! We’ve been found out! We’ve only been doing this for 3-4 years, keep up! If any legitimate press want to chat, my DMs are open 🙌 archive.ph/pJeG0

As one of the 76 NLGs in this post, I have to say I am more than disappointed the DFE has summarily cut a successful program that would have saved much more by ensuring good governance & financial scrutiny than will be saved by ditching the system. nga.org.uk/News/NGA-News/…

@LanceForman @john4brexit Talk to someone in the extraction industry - there is no extractable shale gas in the UK, the geology is incompatable with extraction, proven after much testing

Madness! We almost ran out of electricity yesterday because of our mental obsession with net zero. We have enough shale gas under our feet for 300 years. Why are our idiotic politicians punishing us like this, not only risking outages but also making it 10 times too expensive?

Twitter removed a feature in the past few days that promoted suicide prevention hotlines and other safety resources to users looking up certain content. This timing is very dangerous given things like Christmas and NYE can often trigger depression. reuters.com/technology/elo…

Why has Bernard Cribbins never been knighted? Makes me cross. Decade upon decade of stellar performances.

This is very probably the longest thread I've ever read on Twitter. And it has a lot of information in it you should read...

.@RachelReevesMP @UKLabour This is a fundamental misunderstanding. In EU member states you have to *register* in the country if you move there. The U.K. never even applied the the powers it had as an EU member!

As the UK Government launches its Migration Report on Thursday, tech charity @Techfugees is launching a campaign based on NEW opinion research that shows Brits are very open to refugees joining the workforce. So let's do this!
