1/ TikTok is an outlet for creativity and entertainment that can provide a source of relief and human connection during a time of war when people are facing immense tragedy and isolation. However, the safety of our employees and our users remain our highest priority.

Really good to see BBC News (UK) on TikTok and already doing some incredibly important work covering the horrific scenes in Ukraine. vm.tiktok.com/ZMLycrf1W/

Great announcement by GMB and my old work (proud to have played a small part when I was there). Shows the power of mutual respect and cooperation in getting things done.

My god the Cineworld app is poor. Totally unable to book with unlimited card for the weekend. Can deal with the bad UI, but at least get the basics!

Christ Royal Mail is awful. My package was posted on 28th November with 2-3 day delivery, said ā€œwill be delivered todayā€ since 13th still not arrived. Impossible to speak to a human and their tracking bot is the worst I’ve ever seen. Nothing to do with strikes- just bad service

So glad Ahir Shah won the Edinburgh Comedy Awards at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Saw his show in the first full week and have been thinking about bits of it ever since. Very funny, but also heartbreaking and beautiful. Cannot recommend highly enough.

.GWR you now have people without medication, pregnant woman and people with urgent childcare needs from tomorrow morning standing in the cold at Taunton trying to get to London- we waited 3 hours from Exeter to get sent to Taunton. For the love of god authorise taxis.

Surprised by those now saying ā€œwell FPTP was good to the Lib Demsā€ and suggesting they might go soft on PR. A) PR is still basic fairness B) 12.2% of 650 is 79 seats…

Given that there are 30 million monthly active users on TikTok in the UK, it really should not be an 'astonishing fact' that Farage has 1.3m followers. Le Pen similarly has 1.3m followers. However Macron has 6.4m because - unlike the UK - the main parties chose not to be absent.

100% the right agenda: Diversify the Party āœ… Be a megaphone for Liberalism āœ… Engage the next generation āœ… Empower members āœ… Hugely exciting to see Josh Babarinde OBE MP put himself forward for President!
