All I will say about the latest labour /corbyn debacle is that it grieves me this has blown up right now when there are extremely important things happening. A gradual power grab by a government trying to move us to authoritarianism by stealth, a pandemic out of control 1/
We are about to find ourselves with no trade agreement with the EU, no FTAs with any really big partners to help mitigate the effects of that and we are heading because of all this for a demolition ball swinging full force into our economy. 2/
With all this and more hanging over our heads, Corbyn decided to display atrocious political judgement yet again and labour is once again being dragged away from doing it’s central current job that we actually pay it for - of being an effective opposition. 3/
The report is damning - face it - accept it - fix it and FFS sort yourselves out quickly! /end

Interesting that this Tory MP talks about responsibility and also tackling reasons for child poverty. The Tories have been in power since 2010 /1 #FreeSchoolMeals

Yet the DWPs own figures show a massive increase in child poverty since they came to power

Food bank demand also absolutely exploded after they came to power. 3/ #foodpoverty

Many are now contemplating WFH long term. I spent a lot of years #workingfromhome but it’s really easy to end up not being able to switch off so here are a couple of things we used to do to try and help with that - thread /1
Try and find a space to work in where you can shut the door at the end of the working day. Having your work paraphernalia visible makes it hard to spend time with family without being distracted. /2
In one house we converted an old larder room off the kitchen to a work space. It was tiny but the main thing is I could shut the door and work stayed in there and it didn’t take over the rest of the house /3

I just watched that famous report by Michael Buerk on Ethiopia from 1984. Sombre, serious and presenting the human tragedy unfolding, it was an unforgettable and amazing piece of journalism which galvanised the world into acts of great generosity and human compassion. /1
And there have been many other historical moments since that our tv news channels have guided us through with equal humanity and total integrity. /2
I find it so desperately sad that some journalists from the BBC and other news channels seem to have forgotten how to present these stories to us with humanity, showing us the way to demonstrate and express our own humanity. /3

It’s not actually in any of our hands to make an EU FTA, that’s 100% in the control of the so called government. What each of us thinks is irrelevant because they aren’t listening to any one, not any industry, not civil servants, not the british public. #BrexitReality
If you voted for Johnson’s government and for Brexit and are attempting to blame the impending danger of catastrophic repercussions on our economy because government couldn’t make the “easiest deal in history” on lack of positive thinking or something, get over yourselves! #ownit
Or maybe you are a cummings shill paid to spread these ridiculous tweets. Your brexit - own it!

Maybe this will make some people cross. It seems amazing that the British public were completely besides themselves about office expenses MPs were claiming only a few years ago! 1/6 thread
I mean people got really really angry about duck ponds and a porn movie, second homes and hefty office supplies bills. Though in the end it only amounted to a few MPs paying back some over claims and a couple of prosecutions as I recall. 2/6
But nowadays the great British public can barely care less about MPs being on the payroll of dodgy Russian oligarchs! 3/6

Shop based retailers have had a double whammy with covid. Retail sites carry premium rent and rates. The cost structure has to allow for this but in normal times the shop front is the biggest marketing tool as they are paying for footfall.
Companies operating purely online have a completely different cost structure. They can set up in much cheaper sites yes but they have to spend much more on direct marketing and online advertising to get digital footfall. But generally they work on smaller margins than shops.
So for those who went into #COVIDー19 crisis as online only it has been more about the challenge of keeping enough staff working safely and dealing with the logistics of an overnight increase in demand.
