In an acknowledgement of what an absolute farce of public #procurement the #HS2 rail debacle was (unless you got rich from land transactions 🤔), even the contractors now refer to it as #HS2Gate:

On this VE Day, thinking about how we always say 'It couldn't happen here' (and how WW2 antifascist hero Lisa Fittko said it could happen anywhere) while watching a uni zealously pursue 'Right to Work' checks that are Hostile Environment BS from Theresa May govt appeasing UKIP 😠

Also that door isn't going to last long if they don't put a 'Closed' sign on it. Just watching people try to shoulder barge it open 🫤

This. When the Patriot batteries (made in American factories, creating American jobs) run out, my Ukrainian friends and foreign humanitarian volunteers will get hit by more Russian missiles. #Ukraine #POTUS

Replying to @P_Kallioniemi
After Trump's recent decision to suspend military aid for Ukraine, many civilians will die without the support of Ukrainian air defense, which was provided by long-term contracts with American factories. Trump is playing with people's lives to seem "cooler". He is a murderer.

Watching some on Left translate 'Let's put a peacekeeping force into Ukraine to act as a tripwire so Putin knows he can't go any further' as 'Starmer wants to send your babies to die' and finally accepting 'useful idiots' really do exist, undermining UK 😔 Grifters gotta grift.

Bizarre assumption in some comments RE Ukraine: Putin is just itching for an end to the fighting and will seize any old deal. HE WENT FOR KYIV. He tried to get the whole country. What kind of 'peace' is an occupation where Russia co-opts half 🇺🇦 army & resources? Who'd be next?

As someone who's been to Ukraine in wartime: all the volunteers come back saying 'These people are brilliant, we need to back them 100%'. A bad peace only means more fighting later. Putin could end this tomorrow. This continent has been here before....

At my show on Sunday in Faversham there was still big support for Ukraine. As #POTUS Trump debases USA's standing abroad, thinking of the brilliant Brits and admirable Americans I met in Ukraine. We see you. 🇺🇲🇪🇺🇬🇧🇺🇦

Made a 10min film about brilliant people I met in wartime #Ukraine, as part of this evolving Walter Benjamin show at @FavershamLit. Thinking of them all today as we exchange messages on the anniversary of Kremlin invasion. 🇺🇦 favershamliteraryfestival.or…

Arriving at Homerton hospital and Newcastle RVI, first thing you see is a cheery cleaner or porter wiping things down. Again, #NHS staff I meet have been stellar. The #nurses, #doctors, etc. Pride in their jobs. 💙

We hear a lot about the decline of that national treasure, the #NHS. But I've had experience at both ends of England with @NHSHomerton and @NorthumbriaNHS and been blown away by the quality of the care - and the people. Nothing like the -ve headlines. It's been fantastic 💙

Third Runway at Heathrow? Is anyone going to try and reconcile this short-term boost with the drastic global GDP drop forecast by insurance analysts? Are we assuming some incredible tech solution will arrive? Or burying our heads in ever-hotter sands? #travel #climatechange

Perhaps this is the future, as arts & culture is priced out of London? More regional touring? This was in Newcastle, and it was brilliant. But they may not be able to afford to even put it on in London. What price arts & culture in the capital? #IVW25. Well done my native NE!

Speaking of Independent Venue Week #IVW25, a small theatre in the Newcastle suburb of Gosforth is bringing brilliant arts & culture to Tyneside. From cabaret to moving theatre to jumpin' jive, it's also got a great story of #Accessibility in the arts. 💥💯 gosforthcivictheatre.co.uk/c…

Independent Venue Week? All struggling, Prince Charles cinema under threat, railway arch small business smashed in re-brand/re-price for Blackstone. Big property money killing our cities' culture. Where is political response? #IVW25 @MayorofLondon @McrCulturePship @brumculture
