This happened last night:
200,000 Twitter followers seems quite a lot: I recognise the responsibility it brings.
I note this because the Polden Puckham Charitable Foundation, who provide a part of my funding to work on the question "how are you going to pay for the economic transition that we need", asked when increasing the funding that they provide to Colin Hines and myself to do this what we would do differently if empowered to spend more time on this work. We suggested that we would reach more people and this is the evidence that we're succeeding in doing just that. At the time they asked I did not have 100,000 followers. Now it is double that. And I have no plan to stop there.
Thanks for reading this post.

Splendid stuff.
Well done, and nice to see that there is evidence that you are making a difference.
It’s not just about the number of followers. The engagement rate matters. Comments. Retweets. Likes. Shares. All of which look strong (you’Il have the analytics). Quality content cuts through. It’s most encouraging that your Twitter posts are informing a much wider conversation. That’s needed and clearly appreciated.
Roll-on the quarter million milestone blog!
Yesterday’s thread has more than 800,000 impressions now
Seconded! The hard right won’t like it, but to hell with them. Roll on the half million milestone. The more people read this, the better.
Congratulations. The bigger your footprint/ following on Twitter the more you should get invited onto MSM, and hopefully the more salience a real understanding of the economics/politics.
