Since it was broadcast decades ago, time and again, ‘Yes Minister’ and ‘Yes Prime Minister’ have shown themselves to be prophetic. Maybe it should be considered PM training?

Legendary Singer Neil Young has removed all his albums from Amazon Music due to founder Jeff Bezos and his support for Donald Trump. RETWEET to thank @NeilYoung for standing up for our democracy!

This is absolutely disgusting. Listen to this Minneapolis pastor talk about how he was assaulted by ICE! “An ICE agent literally came over to me and said, ‘what did you say?’ I said ‘I am not afraid,’ and they pointed a gun in my face. ICE put handcuffs on my hands and put me in a black SUV and then a few moments later they came back and they said, ‘are you afraid yet,’ and I said, ‘no,’ and then they said it: ‘Well you're white. You wouldn't be fun anyway.’ It was then that I knew that the staging that these ICE raids are really about fear and intimidation.”

The last thing US political leadership wants is survivors popping up on TV or at the UN telling a different story, & maybe even presenting some form of compelling evidence. Much easier to kill them all; the fact that doing that is illegal & immoral doesn’t seem to worry anyone.

Looking ahead to winter is frightening. I’ve met pensioners who have no idea how they’ll heat their homes. Parents who will have to skip meals so their kids can eat. The Tories are too busy fighting each other to notice. Labour has a plan that meets the scale of this crisis.

Calocane’s victims families are right to be unhappy with his Manslaughter conviction. Of course Calocane had a mental health condition. No sane person would wonder around randomly murdering. But Manslaughter doesn’t reflect the premeditation, organisation & violence involved.

I don't think the problem is politicians, well not solely, the system is manipulated, it only allows people who can be controlled into positions of power, politicians are just front men, the people behind them never change, it doesn't matter what the party is called.

Well said Tobias Ellwood (Conservative MP for Bournemouth East). “This is the generation coming forward to say: we’re not accepting this model of Brexit” x.com/BestForBritain/status/…

What’s happening with the Tory govt is appalling, and it’s hurting the UK. But isn’t it just as likely in Labour?

Labour is at least as factional as Tories, and if Sir Kier was leader on day one, how long would it take for there to be a leadership challenge by the left?

David Miliband summarised the situation perfectly: “Kwasi Kwarteng was not fighting “orthodoxy”. He was fighting maths. The whole project was/is a fantasy. Don’t give it the patina of a revolution. It just didn’t add up. It was post-truth, just like the claims of Brexit uplands.”

#skydebate This is ridiculous. @trusliz came up with a policy statement on the hoof 3 days ago that she’s now trying to distance herself from. This just like @BorisJohnson, making things up to get through the next 10 mins and then doing a U turn when obvious questions are asked.

I desperately wanted to be able say that my MP (@VotePursglove) was one of those principled people that stood up for standards in the House of Commons last week. Very disappointingly, he wasn't. I really hope that will change during today's debate. The Nolan principles matter.

The U.K. “seems to have abandoned science completely now and are just trying to guess their way out of a mess,” according to one US vaccine expert, quoted in this @nytimes article. If 🇺🇸/🇬🇧 experts start disagreeing, that is not going to do a lot for vaccine confidence.

Standards in public life are important. She broke the ministerial code and must be accountable. Your 29/5 position that politicians shouldn’t face legal consequences from propagating misleading information is equally problematic. Is honour and professionalism too much to ask?
