Interesting snippet about Suella Braverman (then Fernandes) and allegations of electoral rigging at among Young Conservatives at Cambridge University. Well, I’m sure everything is different 22 years on, but I don’t like the electoral suppression of Voter IDS Bristol News #GoodTrouble #FBPE #IStandWithUkraine

Bloody hell.

More about #GrenfellTower on #bbcr4today this morning. From what I heard in the inquiry, it was clear that if #BRE had not been privatised by John Major's government, the catastrophe would not have happened. Not the only cause but actions have consequences. See Peter Apps too.

Up in Shetland today, the first women are taking part as guizers in the #UpHellyAa fire and Viking festival. BBC Woman's Hour shetnews.co.uk/2023/01/31/the…

As also covered extensively on BBC Radio 4 and Private Eye Magazine for many many years. Absolutely appalling injustice.

Thanks Nick Robinson for making Suella Braverman answer the ? about 'safe and legal' routes for asylum seekers to come to the UK. She said they can do it via the United Nations. I searched for how to contact the UNHCR UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency and found “Nobody can apply for resettlement”.

#WildIsles showed us the beauty & power of nature but also its fragility - we are one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. On #EarthHour Govt must enact #PeoplesPlanForNature, to harness nature's power & protect it not just today but for generations to come WWF UK

& they knew they had means (££ + #cambridgeanalytica) to deliver ads full of lies (illegal in an election if printed) to millions of gullible people in the last days and hours of the campaign. More than plenty to change the votes of > 630k people that created Leave’s ‘majority’.

.We Own It is a great campaigning organisation. We’ll worth supporting.

For Labour leadership, even talking of rejoining EU is seen as anti-democratic. The Green Party says loud & clear: if rejoining is right for our economy, environment, workers' rights, public services & more, we should do so when time & conditions are right #BrexitInquiry European Movement UK

Quite the admission from former minister Jacob Rees-Mogg on the Government's motivations for voter ID.

Many thanks to parliamentary colleagues for re-electing me today as Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Music - many issues old and new to keep campaigning on including touring, education, remuneration, venues and AI UK Music Musicians' Union The Ivors Academy Music Producers Guild

I'm writing a piece on UK jazz venues. There are so many. Everyone I've connected with on this has been enthusiastic and says their venue is often packed. Is it a hidden secret of the UK's music life? Many musicians started in jazz & I reckon most people have been to a jazz gig.

Great programme. When I looked into the UK gov definitions, ‘Free Range’ was allowed to be used to describe chickens in huge barns, ~15 per sq metre, with a tiny door to the outside that many would never reach. So it’s organic for me whenever possible. Chris van Tulleken 🏳️‍🌈

A vote for the Green Party is never wasted, in fact each one has £££ value as Short Money to The Green Party– I'm a bit amazed that Carla Denyer didn't mention it just now to anita rani on BBC Woman's Hour en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Mon…
