@gillespeterson on @BBC6Music could not be more perfect for a rainy Sunday afternoon. Pure jazz joy and the unpredictable authenticity of vinyl. I'm in kitchen heaven.

Thank you @Your_Colchester for cleaning up that awful racist graffiti on our beautiful Hilly Fields so quickly. Really pleased to see @EssexPoliceUK taking it very seriously. So saddened to see this disgusting behaviour.

@radioleary I was getting grumpy during Celine Dion but you have redeemed yourself with Housemartins and Dexy's! Keep up the good work lad X

The management and prevention of work related stress is a legal obligation. How successfully is this happening in #Probation workplaces I wonder? #upjc22
Excellent presentation from @ThompsonsLaw at #upjc22 around the legal obligations of the employer around tacking stress and cases of bullying and harassment. Unison's stress protocol is something reps need to all be familiar with
At #upjc22 when the news got through, the cheer in the hall was really quite a beautiful thing. General Election has got to be inevitable!

Pleased that our motion around resisting cuts to Probation was so strongly supported but terrible to hear 1st hand accounts of the staffing crisis around the country #Probation #upjc22
Utterly Utterly depressing to hear from colleagues talking about the food and clothes banks that they have in their workplaces in order to help with the #CostOfLivingCrisis. We know we're all heading in the same direction. #ToriesOutNow #upjc22
Always great to meet up with other Probation members at #upjc22. Looking forward to a day of lively debate

Thoughts are with London colleagues who are working in the most challenging circumstances. Outcomes like this have to be expected when people are working with staffing rates as they are.This is a system failure,not one of individual staff. This could've been avoided. #Probation
Chief Inspector of Probation Justin Russell sums up our inspections of the first three London Probation Delivery Units. The Inspectorate has given each service an overall rating of 'Inadequate': Read the full reports here: ow.ly/Ht4l50La0cw
She's not even vaguely convincing herself let alone anyone else. Please put us out of this misery. #PMQs #GeneralElectionNow
@westoverjames I love it when you start talking about music. Always so infectious, made me smile so much. So proud of you mate ❤

Thank you Napo friends for the invite & warm welcome to #NapoAGM22. It has been great to see so many Probation people together talking about the issues that matter to all of us. Our collective fight continues. Also grateful for the opportunity to run by the sea.
