Delighted to join the Sheffield @LibDems team today, working hard to get @shaffaqmohd elected as MEP for Yorkshire & the Humber.

Across Yorkshire, and right across Britain, the best way to say #StopBrexit at these elections is to #VoteLibDem 🔶️ Jo Swinson MP, Shaffaq Mohammed, Laura Gordon and the happy Sheffield Lib Dem team
And good to see @shaffaqmohd appearance on @BBCNewsnight last night...

I've never been randomly offered a chicken while out canvassing - glad the TV cameras were there to capture the moment! 🐓🔶️😂 Chicken being held while reading a Shaffaq Mohammed leaflet
Also loved @shaffaqmohd appearance on @BBCNewsnight last night...

Six years ago, when I was Equalities Minister, I was due to attend a celebration of #IDAHOBIT with Ministers from a dozen EU countries (THREAD) #FlashbackFriday IDAHOBIT
My colleague @lfeatherstone , who was leading the efforts on the Same Sex Marriage Bill, had initiated a document that called for action on LGBT+ rights, which was to be signed by the Ministers at this event. Copy of signed pledge for LGBT+ rights
The Conservatives were copied in all along as the doc was drafted & didn’t bat an eyelid. Then, suddenly just 3 days before I was due to travel…

Thank you @IPPR for inviting me to speak at the launch of your new Centre for Economic Justice – and for those of you who missed it 👇🏾👇🏽👇🏿
Growing up in the 80s, Anita Roddick, founder of the Body Shop, was one of my heroes & inspiration for my early campaigning. I still keep a signed copy of her book Business as Unusual in my office in Parliament.
Business can and should be a force for good, but the way we structure our economy means there are too few well-run, inclusive, socially-progressive companies with a mission.

Such delightful news! Many congratulations to the Duke & Duchess of Sussex. Becoming parents is the most amazing, life-changing experience. 💕
I know it's standard official announcement, but "was safely delivered of" seems very passive to describe the most exhaustingly physical act that is childbirth. 😂🤬😍

Prince Harry more on the mark: "how any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension"
Anyway, really hope they have some privacy to bond as a family of three, with all that overwhelming unconditional love.

And enjoy the chaos...

Brexit Expires

BXP has no manifesto, no detailed policies & no plan for #Brexit (no, "just walk away" isn't a serious plan outside of a pub!)

Why are people willing to vote for a shady outfit that isn't a party, has dodgy finances & will likely adopt #UKIP's *no work* habit?
#EUelections2019
What's more, BXP now say they want to run in the next GE, even though the leader admits #Brexit isn't the answer to any of our domestic problems — you know, all those problems Leave voters thought Brexit was going to fix.

#EUelections2019
Somehow it feels like this is all about the salary and perks for some of the BXP's candidates, and that they're not taking the business of representing our country in an international forum seriously - as indeed those who were previously part of UKIP never have.

I've just been informed that I've been suspended by the Green Party again, this time for two years, for a single tweet
So it goes
Even more shocking is that I was just by-catch
Original complaint/expulsion demand was against @DawnFurness for simply 'LIKING' my tweet - I was added when it was noticed that I was a member too
She's been targetted for speaking at a @Womans_Place_UK meeting
Thanks to all for messages of support, much appreciated, apologies only replying with a 'like' but overwhelmed with things to do & really need to prioritise getting an income somehow (dj 60/70th birthdays a speciality - 'a great dance & an early night' 👍😊

SOCIALISM vs. CAPITALISM

Full communism should never return & for many reasons. However, the ethos which prevailed within the Warsaw Pact countries at its best contained elements almost totally lacking in today’s western capitalist nations.

What MIGHT work for us in future?
SOCIALISM vs. CAPITALISM

At its height & earliest stages the communist ethos was one of hope, idealism & of solidarity. Hope for a better future & world peace, Idealism that imbued people w/ a selfless desire to see ALL succeed not just the few. These then engendered solidarity.
SOCIALISM vs. CAPITALISM

Western capitalism prizes individualism above all else. Margaret Thatcher said “There's no such thing as society”, only individuals working for themselves & their families. Socialism as a philosophy sets the bar far higher w/ far nobler aspirations.
