    There were 6 cases of voter fraud in 2019. Matt Hancock's reply: "That's 6 cases too many." That's the wrong way to look at voter ID. The right way is to ask: How many legitimate voters is the government prepared to ban for the sake of those 6 cases?

    Angela Eagle - Nobody is asking for the police to be defunded in the UK... the only people who have defunded the police has been the government in the last 10 years of austerity.

    Daily reminder that you can have a take without it going into antisemitism, and that the Israeli government doing bad things doesn’t mean antisemitic remarks are OK if the wider point being made about Israel is good (see a really good thread on this)

    This is true even for small numbers, if 5 friends quote reply, like and share a tweet (and like/retweet each other) it boosts the reach of that message hugely.

    People genuinely underestimate how powerful sharing people's videos is. Don't assume everyone follows your feed or the same people as you. The most reliable way for people to succeed is through word-of-mouth.

    If you ever wondered why Youtubers really want you to share their videos, here's why. Turns out, sharing IS caring!

    Re the six cases of electoral fraud mentioned in the last election: only two were people voting as other people - fathers/sons voting as one another. Three were candidates submitting false info on ballots. Should we not therefore be tougher on politicians?

    So grateful to our friends for giving us the opportunity to talk about the accountability gap, something which is sadly pernicious throughout Scottish Society and too often leaves children and adults with nowhere to turn.
