This this this (and the whole thread) is SO important, especially as we head into ‘new year resolution’ season.

Rest is required for learning (& forgetting is required for learning!). Learning isn't just mashing more content into a bucket-brain forever. Lots of effects (from deliberate practice to spacing) show cram/work 'til you drop methods are inefficient, destructive in the longterm.

It's LIKELY that on 13 December, we wake up to see the majority has once again voted for parties that oppose Johnson's Brexit plans but Boris Johnson will still be prime minister. That would be a historically devastating democratic disaster. How do we avoid that? #VOTETACTICALLY

It’s looking like Boris’ deal is even worse than Theresa May’s disastrous effort, which is an achievement in itself. Way to go Bojo, you blundering mess of incompetent posh rubble.

If Parliament votes for Boris Johnson's deal, it will mean giving up the best deal of any EU member state, in return for a third rate trade agreement that screws jobs, workers, and the NHS.

Been discussing @BorisJohnson revised Withdrawal Agreement with a brilliant lawyer - Anneli Howard. Basically it's the May Deal with about 6 changes to the PD & 2 amended paras to the NI Protocol. If the Benn Act is akin to a surrender Act, this WA is a self-imposed knee capping

In a democracy we have a right to peaceful protest Tonight I stood in solidarity with the @ExtinctionR protestors in Trafalgar Square 🌻 I exercised my right to protest and have been arrested alongside brave climate activists This is a #climateemergency❗️

Thanks Devon! After fun in South Molton last night it was lovely to be back in Kingskerswell tonight. Most of you know that Joe, Tom and Ben have covered a silly amount of rainy miles this week and we really had… instagram.com/p/B3f8apmDOQl/…
Retweet if you ever disagreed with a piece of advice you were given. An advisory referendum should be treated as advice. I hear the advice but I don't have to take the advice. Let's find out how many people don't agree with the advice now we have more information. #peoplesvote

Here's an action shot of the four-piece @theUFQ in action on the first night of the festival. They were on barnstormin' form as ever! #ThrowbackThursday #shrewsfolk
Say what you will about these two men, the politics they hold, the deeds done. But this is the type of interviewing and reflective answering that should be our standard: “So if Brexit is your problem & Brexit is the question go back to the people on Brexit”

In another huge moment for @MyBCU this evening, sixty young musicians from @BirmCons who make up Joe Broughton's @Thefolkensemble played their biggest show to date at the European Parliament to an audience of MEPs, activists, media, and parliamentary staff 👏

We go to Brussels tomorrow in full force of positivity and solidarity. I hope through the noise we make on that stage we prove that the whole truly is greater than the sum of its parts. #NotLeavingQuietly #bollockstobrexit #peoplesvote #stopbrexit #united #iloveEU
