a new #civilsociety covenant is exciting for those in civil society and for us in partners like #localgovernment. Quick reminder of blog that @CharlotteAugst & I wrote recently on what civil society can offer to shared agendas like equity, climate etc lnkd.in/eT8GkUpy

@British_Airways never in my life have i had such a frustrating experience as trying to log into my avios account - it NEVER works

Is there a Pulitzer for subtitles?

@PlayfulAnytime echos idea i had for #parkstart like #bookstart which would give new parents a ball, a rattle and a mat with ideas on playing with their children ...and maybe a waterbottle or something like that

Not saying a funded Playbox at a neighbourhood level is THE silver bullet to connect new parents and their babies children in fresh air/nature but we’ll never really know for sure unless somebody funds them properly. Sure starts, libraries & outdoor play theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/a…

Coach Walz or Couch Vance Easy choice.

Mayor @rokhsanafiaz OBE confirms no intelligence of extremist violence in Newham, warns about sharing fake news on social media, and updates on work to support borough and its people. We are Newham orlo.uk/IxdKg

🤪🤯 @CliveMyrieBBC just now: “What made the fight back against the far right happen? Was it the police? Or the courts? Or did it… just happen?” I dunno, maybe it was the thousands of decent humans of all ages flooding the streets of every city instead? 🤷‍♂️

@OnjaliRauf And in Lewisham

This is the city I know & love. #Walthamstow is where I went to college. I know that high street like the back of my hand. Tonight, it's filled with beautiful people saying NO to fascists. Thank you to all coming out to say NO. And reminding haters we're #StrongerTogether.

Thank you to all the police officers working tonight to protect & support local communities.

I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one. I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one. I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them. I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him.

@amortowles Because they are incredible books

The New York Times Book Review polled its readers for the best books of the 21st century. I’m proud to report that A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW came in at number 3. THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY also made the list, coming in at 75. Thanks to all who voted!

@RBReich And so many other outlets now seem to be plugging it like @HuffPost @MailOnline etc

Half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food and housing costs. A third of the workers have had to rely on at least one government assistance program. Amazon's profits tripled in Q1 of 2024. Jeff Bezos is now worth $210 billion. Remember this on #PrimeDay.
