As part of my work on the Markievicz Award I’m looking to speak with people from all over Ireland who were at houses dances, crossroads dances & dances in halls from roughly the 1930s - 60s period. Particularly those that might have stories from the impacts of the 1935 Dance🧵

We played with Explosions In The Sky @EITS at their first ever Irish shows in 2002. Was anyone there?

Rishi Sunak approving the Rosebank oil field = moral and economic madness: ❌ won't bring down our bills ❌ won't improve energy security ✅ will make Norwegian oil giant Equinor billions ✅ will wreck the climate Equinor's profit, our loss.

StopCambo's tweet image. Rishi Sunak approving the Rosebank oil field = moral and economic madness:

❌ won't bring down our bills
❌ won't improve energy security
✅ will make Norwegian oil giant Equinor billions
✅ will wreck the climate

Equinor's profit, our loss.

🚨 BREAKING: The UK government has just approved Rosebank, the biggest undeveloped oil field in the UK. We won’t let this stand. Together we will #StopRosebank bit.ly/StopRosebank

Big 4 bank profits were up 700% in first half of this year compared to 2020, so I’ve just asked the Chancellor to introduce a windfall tax on banks’ excess profits, to fund support for households struggling with energy & housing costs If you agree he should please RT! 🙏

There was a time when a former Cabinet Minister openly admitting gerrymandering would have been enough to bring down a government. Not now it seems. But surely, if nothing else, this pernicious voter ID law now needs to be repealed? 🤷🏻‍♂️

A little reminder for those with amnesia who blame nurses instead of the Tories for putting patients at risk


I stand with refugees and people seeking safety. @CatherineWest1, as your constituent I urgently call on you to uphold the right to asylum, and to support new #SafeRoutes to the UK for refugees and people seeking safety. 🧡

😡 On 1st April, social rents & service charges rise at least 7%. 😮More & more HA tenants & residents are signing a pledge to withhold payment of the increase. 📢We demand a rent & service charge freeze. #FreezeRentsAndServiceCharges Join us shaction.org/pledge-page/

An illuminating answer to one of the more common questions on refugees

“If they really are refugees, why don’t they have to stay in the first safe country they reach?” “Why don’t they just claim asylum in France?” Here is my answer, once & for all. To Jonathan Gullis, and to everyone else who ever wondered. #RefugeesWelcome

retweet if you think the government should just stop oil


This would be great in @haringeycouncil too! @AJogee !

It was clear a two-speed London had emerged for sustainable travel when a handful of boroughs doubled down on their covid LTNs. It now looks like @lambeth_council have found a third speed. Who’s joining them? 👀 @hackneycouncil
