Inspired by my favourite travel website @seatsixtyone, I just went from London to Barcelona and back by train. I’m keen to cut down on air travel, so I want to share how easy, pleasant & inexpensive it was. 🧵

I wish that the TV commissioners who send celebrity chefs into foodbanks to teach poor people how to cook, concurrently put the exact same energy into sending poor people in to the Treasury to teach Rishi Sunak how to budget.

I don’t know any other business where you can drink booze at work and if Parliament wants to clean up it’s act and stop people doing terrible things they might make a start by banning booze in the Parliamentary Estate. Want a drink? Fine. Have one when you’ve left.

May I suggest that MPs take a packed lunch to work and wash it down with a can of fizzy pop/glass of tap water?

Their lunch/bar subsidies could then be passed on to subsidise school meals.
Some podcasts should be conversations.

Some books should be chapters.
Some chapters should be articles.
Some articles should be tweets.
Some tweets should be prayers.
How very GB News

I do lots of work with older people, here is a little tip: if you work with people who are now 70, they were 18 in 1970 not 1940.

They listened to The Beatles, The Jackson 5 & Diana Ross. They wore flares and bright clothes.
They were *not* in the war nor listened to Vera Lynn.

Rishi Sunak is announcing new support for the cost of living on the same day as the Sue Gray Report.
TRANSLATION:
The government was happy to watch people freeze and starve for months, but only thought it was worth helping if it could help distract from their crimes.
Hey America, when we had a mass shooting in a school we massively clamped down on who could own a gun. Know how many mass shootings in schools we’ve had since? Zero. It’s ok to change laws to keep kids safe.

A New York second = the period of time between the lights going green + the taxis behind you honking

A Westminster second = the period of time between Sue Gray handing in her report + Rishi Sunak announcing how he's saving us with some new scheme (taxes behind you still honking)
30 seconds into his statement and the excuses begin. ‘These people were working long hours’… what? So were millions of others. They followed the rules that you set. How dare you.

We are all in an abusive relationship with a narcissistic government. We’ve been repeatedly lied to, isolated from our friends and allies (Brexit), and told we’re just overreacting to something inconsequential. I’ve seen narcissistic abuse close up, this is precisely what it is.

Looking forward to, I dunno, stealing somebody’s bag later and if caught, just repeating “I take full responsibility for this” as I walk away, carrying the bag.

I train these clever creatures to save victims trapped in collapsed buildings after earthquakes. We kit them out with a rat backpack, and train them to trigger a switch when they find a victim & come back for a tasty treat 🐀#herosnotpests #science #weirdjobs #WomenInSTEM pic.twitter.com/728IQv70NX

So it turns out “I accept full responsibility” means “changing all the rules so I never have to resign”
