@Fizamoh If you have a private chef and housekeeper, your 24 hours are not the same as a single mother doing everything herself. If you have a private jet, your 24 hours are not the same as someone who takes the bus. Wealth begets wealth because of advantages like these.

I’m very happy to announce that Iβ€˜ve been elected Chair of Wirral Young Labour this weekend! I’ve been a member of WYL since 2015, and I’m excited to get the chance to lead such an energised, engaged group of young people into next year’s all-out elections here on the Wirral.

@RevRichardColes @KyleSew2112 In the case of Kolkata, it was only known as β€˜Calcutta’ because of the Raj - the Bengali pronunciation was always Kolkata. West Bengal’s government changed its name in 2001, as did many other cities in India around then - Madras to Chennai for example.

@willgeorgelloyd Speaking with a hindsight as someone who struggled a lot with maths, GCSE maths has plenty of real world problem solving uses, but I’m not as convinced about A level maths. We should focus on getting more students enthused at a younger age than making the A level compulsory.

In 1919, the Institut fΓΌr Sexualwissenschaft was set up in Berlin, by Magnus Hirschfeld, who’d long campaigned for LGBT rights in Germany. He also established a library around same sex love.

@terratologist Almost all of mine come from the warmups I did in my chapel choir as a child. My favourite, singing the tongue twister β€˜PopocatΓ©petl, copper plated kettle’ up and down the scale I learnt c. Y8 and haven’t heard anyone else do since. My choristers can’t stand it.

A closed event in Winter during a global pandemic years from a GE, vs an open air rally in summer 2017 shortly after the election. These are definitely the same, apt analysis indeed.

Momentously sad news. The loss of the rock of British diplomacy, culture, values, and above all an unshakeable public servant. GSTQ.

@Matthemod @BalancePowerUK Or maybe 81 year olds should retire? Since when is that controversial.

@KyleSew2112 I do not understand this reaction. When someone outlines the problems the Labour Party has in regards to trans rights we should be seriously concerned that we’re regressing on social issues. Your tweet just waves away valid concerns.

I want Wirral Young Labour to give our members even stronger campaigning skills, to empower them to stand for positions in both the party and local government, and to offer a forum for the rich diversity of thought we have in Labour.

I’ve had two brilliant years as a choral scholar at @LivCathedral , anyone who is passionate about making music in the UK’s largest cathedral should definitely consider applying to the open roles!

Would you like to come & make music in the largest Anglican Cathedral & the fifth largest cathedral in the world? If so, read on as we’re looking for six choral scholars (2 alto, 2 tenor and 2 bass) & two organ scholarships to start in September 2022

@leonardocarella It’s also interesting, though not surprising, that people in employment and under-18s in school had heaven and earth moved to get stability and normality back, whereas people in university were just expected to get on with it

Just for the record, first their newest councillor deletes her Twitter account, next they start blocking people who scrutinise them. Unbecoming behaviour for public servants.

Homemade risotto is by far and away the best way to end a busy day of campaigning. Have a lovely evening all!

@WhatTheTrans Why why why are TERFs so obsessed with JK Rowling? They laud her as if she’s done anything to help queer people, but the actual details always seem to slip their minds…

@REWearmouth @willgeorgelloyd It only rained heavily for an hour or so, no reason to be pessimistic! Response remains very positive on the door despite the weather anyway 😊

The institute was set up as a scientific establishment to research progressive studies on sexuality and gender. Early work on understanding gender and sexuality as a spectrum was carried out here, and surgical services were offered.

Opera is for everyone. I note that Dominic Raab didn’t bring up the sometimes prohibitive cost of arts music to do something about it (because he doesn’t care), but just to deride a working class woman.

Dominic Raab won’t approve but I did indeed go the opera last week (it cost me Β£62). Tom Eisner, a working-class lad from Buxton near where I grew up kindly invited me. He’s been playing violin at Glyndebourne for 36 years. Never let anyone tell you you’re not good enough. 🎻

But after the Nazis had already purged gay clubs, outlawed sex publications, and banned the formation of gay groups, the Nazis’ student wing turned their attention to the institute:
