I’m loving Reform UK @reformparty_uk proudly announcing that George Madgwick has been suspended “With immediate effect”, as though that’s some great triumph of accountability.
Except he was first arrested on 6 January. That’s almost TEN MONTHS ago.
What did they know, when did they know it, and why did they apparently do nothing until today?
Accountability isn’t just about what you do when the headlines hit.
Logged in at ten to six, ready to join the online Creative Writing Workshop with @marshrachel as part of @GfordBookFest … it’s now quarter past six and the session still hasn’t started…
Feel like I’ve been conned out of £48 🤣

Been a week since this email was received.
Still no reply from the @OU_Law school at the @OpenUniversity…
Have tried calling to find more information, no one seems to know anything. Almost as though having been paid for the course, the University has banked the money and run.
The handling of results that have been delayed by @OpenUniversity is nothing short of shambolic.
Thousands of students sitting in limbo like Victorian ghosts waiting for a telegram, with no clear communication, no accountability, and no apparent urgency.
Do better. #OUResults

We’re not asking for miracles. We’re asking for results that were scheduled, prepared, and expected.
For an institution built on accessibility and support, this feels like a masterclass from the @OpenUniversity in how to erode both.

At the station this morning, I heard an interesting bird call I’ve not heard before. Like two pips relatively close together.
I thought it sounded like a young bird, so had a look around to see if I could spot it.
The ticket gate. I heard the ticket gate.
Just to add, @Baroness_Nichol, you may remember, before HIV was HIV, the term used to describe the illness was GRID:
Gay Related Immune Deficiency
People genuinely believed it was just affecting gay people, so for years the illness known as HIV, was GRID.
You’re not helping.
Am I alone in thinking @Ianhwatkins and Craig Doyle make a cute couple?
