The time has finally come. Always knew it would. Was just a question of when. Jacob Rees-Mogg now, with no where else to turn, has finally played his last Brexiteer card: “Warning Remainers are deliberately undermining Brexit as they look to make UK a failure”
Give me strength.

Wow! We did it!! 10 million views!!
By working TOGETHER we have sent a message to UK media that if they won’t hold this Prime Minister to account for all his lies we will damn well do it ourselves!
When will @BBCNews catch up?

If you live in the UK, please email your MP to let them know that this country needs humane assisted dying laws giving people with incurable or terminal illness control over when and how they die.
This can affect any one of us and we all deserve dignity.

Some faith-heads have a ritual of handling snakes, believing faith will protect them. When they’re bitten, they deserve it: they alone suffer. Vaccine-refusal is different: others are endangered. It’s as though their faith told them to release rattlesnakes in supermarkets.

The U.S. government managed to get everyone free covid tests, free treatment and free vaccines without raising taxes or turning into a socialist hellscape.
Tell me again how we can't do universal health care?
(especially when we already pay $10,000 a year in premiums)

CCP officials *finally* sanctioned by UK, EU, US and Canada for human rights abuses against the beleaguered Uighur community.
This is long overdue, but very welcome.

Unnoticed- Norman Tebbit admitted to a Parliamentary meeting this week that as Secretary of State for Employment he had Special Branch spy on Trade Unionists.
No remorse, no regret, no apology.

There's only one way out:
Tories must be removed from power.
Under FPTP that means the progressive vote can't be split.
That means an electoral pact.
The best way to get Greens/Dems on board is if Labour commits to electoral reform.
That requires pressuring Labour constituencies.

Excellent article by @MezahiMaher. A reminder that the scourge of colonialism is not just history - the impacts are still relevant today.

European countries need to do much more to recognise and understand our responsibilities.
