This is so important. Politics really CAN make a difference. Shabby, flawed and cynical it may often seem, but it's still ours - and if we give up on it, we just leave it all to the worst possible people.

Absolutely. We have a real problem with 'astroturfing' in our broadcast and print media. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturf…) Rather than shine a light on the fraudulent practice for democratic good, media has shamefully used these sources as easy clickbait in debate and comment.

@gordonsmart @BBCMorningLive @StephenMcGann I was unexpectedly diagnosed 7yrs ago with Haemochromatosis. Never heard of it previously. So thankful I found out & now in maintenance. Thx @gordonsmart & @StephenMcGann for raising awareness 👏👏👏
Never knew about hemochromatosis until @BBCMorningLive sent me to find out more, sometimes referred to as “The Celtic Curse” … thank you @StephenMcGann for highlighting it for us. Report from five mins into show… bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

@StephenMcGann Fascinating @BBCMorningLive report on too much iron in the blood (apologies, I get as far as ‘haema’ then fail). Do you know how we can get a test kit?

So. The line from Brain Central is back to "coalition of chaos" if you vote for not-them. Even though chances of a hung parliament are currently thinner than my being an astronaut, and hypothetical chaos doesn't exactly dominate the mind of a public suffering the genuine article.

Today's press pollsters: "Aaaah, but if you look at the election results *this way up*, you'll clearly see that the one in blue shorts is upright, and the one who punched his lights out is actually lying flat! It's a win for canvas-back!"
A radical rightwing former Home Secretary from the badly defeated party dominating the news commentary the day after an election tells you a lot about where we are today, and media's attitude to it.
This is an amazing thread, which proves many things - how microscopically Brexit has fucked everything up, for one - but mainly that truth and understanding - of anything - comes only with detail.

Our job is to ensure that that the possible benefits and harms, for different people, of every legislation, are thought through.
I am unbelievably excited to be given this opportunity. I applied for it (and anyone can: lordsappointments.independent.gov.uk) because it’s a chance to work in public service, whilst not being at the mercy of party politics.
I live by the mantra that if there are things that need changing, work to change them. And I intend to work hard!
Every year there are 2 appointments like this: not rewards for things done already but people entrusted to do good work in the future. Thank you to the Appointments Commission for the trust they have placed in me. I will do my utmost to repay it.
@StephenMcGann Slightly off topic, but you’d think that one of the gentlemen in your picture might have stood up to offer the Queen a seat.

This is an amazing thread, which proves many things - how microscopically Brexit has fucked everything up, for one - but mainly that truth and understanding - of anything - comes only with detail.
Let's have a look at this, I am reminded so often that most people don't necessarily understand what they are looking at with this industry, so it might be quite interesting to dissect. We call this a Bridge Strike, when you understand a bit more you can see why they happen 🧵
... and the other rule of life, which is that *everything* is interesting if you really pay attention. Wow.
