This is my first

. Thought I’d give it a try. I’m fairly new to twitter and low in followers - 5 at time of counting. Would love to connect with like minded progressives. I believe in rejoining the EU, equality and fighting injustice. We need empathy not hate
Hope not hate. Unity not division. Kindness not cruelty. Empathy not judgement. It’s my final day in a toxic working environment tomorrow and I’m going to Leeds Pride on Sunday. This weekend I’m going to be optimistic for once. Enjoy your weekend everyone
#FollowBackFriday
Wow- what an absolutely amazing first
#FollowBackFriday
I’m having. Hello and big thanks to all my new followers. Thanks for the kind comments too. I seem to have reached my follow back limit today. I will follow everyone back when I’m allowed the next few days. Enjoy the weekend
If this Government was merely incompetent that would be bad enough but it’s also cruel, heartless and vindictive. That is unforgivable. It watches good people suffer with a shrug of its shoulders and quite often a smile on its face

My boyfriend just said he was going to buy a few bottles of Gary Barlow organic white wine. He was being serious. So that’s the end of that relationship and 2 years of my life I’ll never get back

This is why it’s impossible to trust journalists. Many, but not all, mix in the same social circles as the Tory politicians. That’s why they never hold this government to account
If you’re tired of this politics of division, greed and inequality. If you think that we need more empathy and compassion in our society. Give me a follow and I’ll always follow back. Let’s unite and stand together
#FollowBackFriday
The worst thing about this Government is the way they try to appeal to people’s worst instincts - fear, hatred, distrust and greed. It’s cynical and deliberate. Let’s build a society on kindness, compassion, unity and empathy

This is my MP the Tory Andrew Jones. You won’t be surprised to hear he voted to allow water companies to pump raw sewage into our sea and rivers. Absolute disgrace
#TorySewageParty
The Tory leadership campaign has left me feeling frustrated, depressed and disengaged. Then I realised that’s exactly how they want us to feel. So today I joined a union (Unison). I’m also going to join whatever local groups there are that are fighting back
#FollowBackFriday
Just found out I’ve been blocked by Andrew Doyle. Not bothered as he’s very annoying but very odd as I’ve had no interactions with him on Twitter. I’ve been cancelled by the man who’s just written a book bemoaning cancel culture
It’s been absolutely depressing following the Tory leadership contest. More than ever I’m sure we need proportional representation and the voting age lowered to 16. That should hopefully ensure this corrupt mob don’t see power again in a long time

This extreme right wing government scares the Sh*t out of me. I fear in the next 2 years we’ll have a new Section 28, abortions made virtually illegal and the death penalty reintroduced. They’ve got to be resisted at every step
#GeneralElectionNow
If you think that the Tory party voting to allow raw sewage to be dumped on us epitomises what they really think of the general public then give me a follow. I always follow back

“She had a ghostly pallor and a dreadful expression. Something emanating from her still, silent presence, in each case by a grave, had communicated itself to me so strongly that I had felt indescribable repulsion and fear” Susan Hill - The woman in Black
So parliament had the summer off and a ‘caretaker’ government doing nothing. Now it’s stopping again till next week. Then it starts again for a few days and stops again for the party conferences. With millions struggling is it too much to ask our MPs to do their job
I’ll get in early as I’m working tomorrow. If you hate what the Tories are doing to the country, support diversity, think we need a redistribution of wealth and want a republic then let’s follow each other. Solidarity!!
#FollowBackFriday
Have you had enough of the Tories stoking hatred, division and de-humanising people? Grubby politicians clinging to power at any cost.

Did Sunak just call himself compassionate. Is this the same compassionate billionaire who voted against extending free school meals
#RishiOut
#GeneralElectionN0W
Cue the right wing press tomorrow hailing Sunak as the country’s saviour as they did with Truss, Johnson, May and Cameron before him, whilst pretending the Tories aren’t the ones responsible for f**king up the country

@AnnieB_H
Where is this time and place where we are allowed free speech and who decides it? What you’re calling for is limited and controlled speech, not free speech
Fair play to Southgate. He’s taken a team containing some of the most exciting and dynamic players in the world and somehow managed to get them to play the most boring ass football imaginable. It’s not easy to do that

Littering is an actual crime and carries a fixed penalty charge of £150.
@metpoliceuk
how many fixed penalty fines for littering did you give out this weekend?

People will never fit into your narrow and binary world view however much you want us to We’re all a lot more complicated, nuanced and unique than you can probably ever imagine
Not only is the government failing to protect the welfare if its citizens - it’s actively working against them. We desperately need change

After Kwasi Kwarteng blames ‘pressure’ of Queen’s death for botched mini-budget, psychologists update the seven stages of grief:
- Shock
- Denial
- Anger
- Tanking the economy
- Depression
- Spaffing £65 billion on absolutely nothing
- Acceptance
