RT @andrewdoyle_com: Any style guide that tells journalists to avoid telling the truth isn’t a style guide at all.
It’s an ideological blueprint, an attempt to reconstruct society through the manipulation of words and their meanings.

RT @AaronBastani: New Labour's policy decisions are utterly central in making sense of today's housing crisis. Blair built fewer council houses than Thatcher while buy-to-let mortgages increased 30-fold between 1997 and 2007 >
RT @UKHouseofLords: The prorogation of @UKParliament is due to take place at the end of business today. It marks the end of the current parliamentary session before the next session begins with the #StateOpening of Parliament on Tuesday 10 May.

RT @ShahrarAli: Two beautiful people sticking their necks out for fairness in sport. Real honour & privilege to meet legends Daley and Sharron. 💚 🏊♀️ 🏅
RT @tomhfh: What sort of tweets might Twitter ban as a result of the new Online Safety Bill?
RT @PeggyPapakosta: Fire still burning after 8 hours #greenwich #deptford #london @LondonFire doing an amazing job
RT @aljwhite: The Mail is doubling down
RT @andrewdoyle_com: Twitter hasn’t been this entertaining for years…

RT @nmdacosta: Day 1 of the most intense week of ping-pong you could design (summary at end of thread). Today we started Commons rd3 ping-pong on Police Bill. The Minister understandably pointing out that MPs have voted again and again on noise, and there is inevitable frustration 1/
RT @hughosmond: Interesting demonstration to lockdown supporters that, even with full police and military enforcement of total house imprisonment by a brutal authoritarian regime, lockdowns don't work. Meanwhile causing untold damage to citizens, the economy and with no obvious exit. Ever.
RT @NikolajNielsen: This is the EU parliament's liaison office in Athens. It has a backyard. The EU parliament awarded a contractor over €200k to clean the backyard.
RT @danny__kruger: Very concerned that @dignityindying put out this tweet (now deleted). It’s an outrageous slur on the NHS and terrifying to the frail and their relatives. It is categorically untrue and DiD should make clear that in fact most people are well looked after as they die. 1/2
RT @LiamHalligan: As number of social homes has fallen, housing benefit bill spiralled. Set to rise much more as growing pool of private renters retire & need even more subsidy
Makes economic sense to move low-income housing support from benefits to bricks.
But does @michaelgove agree? 9/9
RT @LiamHalligan: "Right to buy" means council homes sold off easily exceed those built, diminishing stock even more
Overall number of social houses has risen in just 4 of the last 40 years !
1.2m families on waiting lists, half a million in unsanitary or overcrowded temporary accommodation 7/9
RT @LiamHalligan: We need a truly competitive housebuilding industry to bolster housing supply - giving homebuyers a better deal in terms of both price and quality
But Tories must boost supply of social housing too - providing long-term tenancies at below-market rents for low-income families 5/9
RT @LiamHalligan: Last such inquiry was 2008 - and housebuilding industry now far more concentrated
Big developers have hoovered up ever more planning permissions - to bolster balance sheet/share price - but often don't use them
Deliberate building go-slow keeps house prices (& profits) high 2/9
RT @TwisterFilm: Tomorrow, a trial begins between one of the bravest and smartest people I've ever met and the single most irresponsible and dangerous organisation in the UK. If I prayed all my prayers would be heading to @BluskyeAllison. Good luck, Allison, you star.
