Congratulations to California for this #RightToRepair milestone. It's possible to require manufacturers to make spare parts available also for a wide range of devices already on the market More work is needed to make repair affordable and to ban software barriers (part-pairing)

NEW: we need to talk about UK graduate wages, and the idea that Britain sends too many people to university. American readers should stick around for the UK/US comparisons 👀 Let’s start with this: the UK graduate wage premium has fallen substantially over the last 25 years

The EU Parliament plenary showed almost unanimous support for new & stronger #Righttorepair rules!🎉 📢We're happy to see full support for tackling high spare part prices & anti-repair practices. #Repair will also stand a better chance against replacement under guarantee (1/3)

Unsurprisingly, the Council's position on #Repair is weaker than the original Commission's proposal. The Council's text is clearly a huge step back from the EU Parliament version of the text, which we celebrated a few days ago.

Very sorry to say there was inaccuracy in this tweet. Brandon Lewis was knighted in June. Which means all four Conservative politician who were called to answer for their failures to prevent the Grenfell Tower fire have been either knighted or given a peerage since the fire.

This is how ridiculous sentencing for environment protestors is. It’s plainly wrong if violence and even robbery are treated less seriously. Environment protesting is an act of conscience. Our laws have been perverted to create these extreme punishments for peaceful protest. The
