got a feeling Farage & Richard Tice are going to regret targeting Frances for explaining why Nigel lost his privilege at Coutts x.com/Frances_Coppola/status…

Moreover, @bbcquestiontime has a lot to answer for. Check this out. They gave the man an inordinate amount of air time. Care to respond @BBCNews? Unacceptable.

30 years after Germany brought in its Pflegeversicherung ( 5% tax on all incomes) to pay for all old care @emmacduncan discovers it for Times feature. Never ceases to amaze failure/refusal of London establishment to learn from better practice in Europe. Too late now w Brexit

Indeed. Also, saying we ‘were told nothing would change’ is so lame. The Ref was monumental. It took 2 mins of research/thought to realise Vote Leave was lying. It says much (all of it bad) about the nation that so many dismissed Remain’s concerns/facts & instead bought BoJo’s BS

This video calling out the Prime Ministers bull**** on public sector pay got over 200,000 views overnight & has suddenly been deleted! So here it is again. Share it far & wide! Let’s make sure the country knows the TRUTH

Here’s…..Larry! Taking a rare trip to Brexitland. Sadly his “cross-party consensus” doesn’t appear to take him via ⁦@EdwardJDavey⁩ and the LibDems. Sadly, but unsurprisingly. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

My local chippie has this up in the window. That's insane increases!

“Overall the number of UK bands touring the EU this summer — the first since all Covid restrictions were lifted — is down by 32 per cent, compared with 2017-19”. How Brexit crippled touring for UK musicians thetimes.co.uk/article/c8c15…

.@EUCouncil president @CharlesMichel last month offered the UK regular formal meetings, possibly including a bilateral summit with the bloc's 27 member states. But it was rejected by the UK side, officials tell @pmdfoster @GeorgeWParker & @AndyBounds ft.com/content/1147fc63-59f9…

It is perplexing that both main political parties seem intent on chasing the 52 % ,now 40% , Brexit vote so neglecting a pro European majority plus signalling deserting the cause of climate change as the world “boils”. The opportunity for an alternative - the LibDems? - is huge.

A new 64-36 majority for Rejoin. “The country knows this but no one in politics, the media or economy is prepared to say the Brexit emperor now has no clothes.” Great piece by ⁦@DenisMacShane⁩ theglobalist.com/regretting-…

On behalf of @BylineTimes, thank you to everyone who has offered their support in the face of threats and intimidation over the past few days. We carry on. Tomorrow, we will be publishing the next part in our investigative series: 'Who Is #MartinBranning?' - and what did he do?

Every word of this is the truth...

This takes seconds to complete. If you haven’t done so please complete one. It might be helpful for you to know that it is proposed local stations like Thornaby & Eaglescliffe will have no staff after 2pm on weekday afternoons.

Another Express poll needs correcting. The link below takes you straight to the poll, avoiding all the horrid ads on their website. (Ignore the request for an email address. It works without.) Please spread the word so that this can look healthier soon! xd.wayin.com/display/contain…

That either the UK as a whole aligns with the EU for goods, Northern Ireland aligns with trade barriers in the Irish Sea, or there is a land border, is both a well known and accepted fact by the vast majority of specialists, and denied by too many politicians.

Looking forward to the protests from JRM et al theguardian.com/tv-and-radio…

Within the past two weeks, on a visit to the city of my birth, London, I have committed: 1) The crime of being Black while studying the interior of a church (I did church architecture as part of pre 6th form O Level art &, though an atheist from the age of six, retain an interest in the buildings). The only other civilian in the church, a worshiper, had clearly felt threatened and had called the Priest who enquired as to why I was in the building. 2) The crime of being Black while hailing a taxi for hire (taxi sign on) in broad daylight. The first driver saw me well enough to deliver a comedic wave before driving on; the second merely looked me in the eyes, dismissed me and drove on. & 3) The crime of not being what I apparently, in this instance, had a duty to be: After dinner in my hotel, I've just been racially profiled by another guest (vanilla) who assumed I was a member of staff as we all waited for the lift/elevator on our way to our rooms. The last of these instances made me laugh. The first two were annoying. As I told a young, white and helpful policeman many years ago, "You get used to it". He replied, "You shouldn't have to!".

What kind of country has a #HomeSecretary who breaks the law - and in other news a woman of colour ends up in cuffs when the police wrongly accuse her of not paying her less £2 bus fare - while her children watch. 😡
