The government’s #PlanningReform removes communities’ rights to a say on development, waters down environmental protections & lowers restrictions on housing quality. I asked my MP to tell the government to rethink its plans. Will you ask yours? act.friendsoftheearth.uk/tar…

There’s something rather significant about Boris Johnson speaking up for statues of dead white supremacists while Marcus Rashford speaks up for 1.3 million hungry British children of every creed & colour.

It is really sad to see racism again at a football match, but I think it's very important to talk about it in public. If not, it will be forgotten again in a couple of days (as always). (1/4)

Ch4 replace him with an ice sculpture and he threatens their status. @afneil challenges him to appear, and he proposes removing the BBC’s license funding. Now he grabs a reporter’s phone: whenever this man is asked questions by the media, his response is to try to shut it down.

This is a heartfelt and genuine plea. Please do not reward @BorisJohnson and @Conservatives for the manipulation, half truths, full lies and contempt of the people by giving them a majority. We can’t complain about Politicians if we elect the worst. #votetacticallynottribally

Hi @allisonpearson,
Glad you deleted this tweet, but I see no apology to the parents you smeared by claiming they faked the photo of their sick 4-year-old sleeping on the hospital floor.
I saved a screenshot. If enough people retweet will you do the right thing and apologise?

One of only two people will form a government after this election.
Johnson: a lying, cheating schemer, who'll give this country to billionaires and offshore capital.
Or Corbyn: who is sometimes bloody frustrating, but seeks a fairer, kinder, greener nation.
How hard can this be?

We’re aware of Conservative Party Facebook adverts using edited BBC content. This is a completely unacceptable use of BBC content which distorts our output and which could damage perceptions of our impartiality. We are asking the Conservatives to remove these adverts.

Ian Austin, 1 year as a junior minister at DCLG, says he won't vote for Labour.
Wall-to-wall coverage.
Ken Clarke, 9 years as Secretary of State, including as Chancellor, says he won't vote for the Conservatives.
Silence.
Balanced election coverage?

So Government plans to give MPs just 90 minutes on Saturday to decide whether to accept the Prime Minister’s sell-out or approve a No Deal Brexit
This is contempt for Parliament, contempt for our democracy and contempt for our country’s future.

Hey @BorisJohnson, we saw you gave a speech to DUP conference last year excoriating the very deal you’re now trying to strike with the EU. Given the astronomical level of hypocrisy on show here, we projected it onto the side of Parliament last night. SOUND ON.

I’d rather have a burgundy coloured EU passport than a blue coloured UK-only passport. I’d rather be an internationalist than an isolationist. Please retweet if you agree.
