27.9 MILLION VIEWS! I know it’s exhausting, I know it’s Saturday, but we must keep going!
27 MILLION VIEWS! 27 MILLION!!!
Working TOGETHER we have sent a powerful message to UK News shows if they won’t hold this Prime Minister to account for his rampant lying in Parliament we will do it ourselves!
How long can you ignore it now @BBCNews?

Should the UK government prioritise sending Covid-19 vaccines abroad to inoculate the vulnerable before British children?
Lily Caprani, Covid-19 vaccines lead for @UNICEF tells #Newsnight "it's not an either-or choice" and there's enough supply in the G7 to do both 👇

A statue of a Black Lives Matter protester has replaced a monument of a slaver.
Demonstrators dumped the statue of Edward Colston in the UK’s Bristol Harbour in June. The new statue was installed secretly overnight with a plaque saying: “Rejected by the citizens of Bristol.“

today's map concerns names for a thin piece cut from a loaf of bread! of the two major terms in traditional dialects, 'slice' is from Old French 'esclice' whereas 'shive' is assumed to be from an unrecorded Old English word 'scífe' (it's also found in other Germanic languages) 1/

Arrogant and offensive. Can you imagine having to work with these truth twisters?

This further undermines @BorisJohnson’s race commission.
My review was welcomed by all parties: Corbyn, Cameron and May. But Munira Mirza went out of her way to attack it.
Johnson isn’t listening to #BlackLivesMatter. He’s trying to wage a culture war.

‘Ipsedixitism’ is the dogmatic assertion that something is true because someone, somewhere said it, and without offering any supporting evidence whatsoever. (From the Latin for ‘he said it’).

Like many of you, last week I had a successful small tutoring business. The world changed almost overnight and as a result I lost all my clients and all of my income. So in order to adapt I’ve come up with a new idea that I hope can help some of you.

Unbelievable. Johnson appoints worst minister in recent history to chair of Intelligence committee. Even the Sun can’t stomach it. His ‘first task will be to publish a report on Russia’s influence..which Boris suppressed in run-up to the general election’

Sometimes someone makes a video that takes your breath away with a show of boldness, wit, public service and human comms. Class, be like @SYFR – at Dudley, England
Last year we got a load of abuse when we added the rainbow flag to our profile picture.
We don't think homophobic abuse is acceptable and we stand with all those LGBT+ people we serve and employ 🏳️🌈
Thanks for the comments... 👍
