Contempt is an unfortunate human trait & now we live under it systematised a million-fold by the Tories. #ToriesOut

Bless her. She wants to connect with you & that's lovely. Embrace her, & tell her about the Podcast you're listening. Exchange numbers...:-)
Wearing headphones. Someone attempts to talk to me. I pause, and take them off. White woman colleague: What you listening to? [starts doing random, embarrassing hand gestures in attempt to be *cool*] A bit of Stormzy? A bit of Wiley? Me: [deadpan] A podcast.

Be-oo-ti-ful. No doubt.
Please tell my sister how good she looks in red lip stick she doesn’t believe me
Trump is the ultimate expression of white privilege: the stupidest man risen to the highest office. #TrumpUKVisit
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. #impossibletoagreemore teapawt.net/DavidLammy/status/9924…
No evidence of in-person voter fraud at polling stations. Voter ID schemes = the systematic disenfranchisement of poor people and ethnic minorities. This Jim Crow writ large and how the racists disenfranchised African Americans in the Deep South. Straight out of that playbook teapawt.net/ashcowburn/status/9924…

Over 4000 people were denied a vote due to no ID. 1 person cautioned for voter fraud has led to 4000 denied because of it. I hear that some EU citizens were also denied. Now do you see where we are heading? Total voter suppression.

It's not what u say Mr Javid, it's what they say. They will tell us how humane, how sensitive u & ur dept manages to be. #smileslikeashark teapawt.net/sajidjavid/status/9924…
Yesterday in Croydon I saw first hand the incredible & sensitive work the Home Office’s new taskforce is doing to support members of the Windrush generation. Will do all I can to help - my most urgent priority
"Cunterific", in fact. New lows, even for Tories. teapawt.net/BartonBank/status/9921…
Replying to @BartonBank
...heartless and vindictive intellectual pigmies...I detest you with every cell in my body. Your cowardly three line whip to prevent the truth about the policy being revealed shows there is no honour nor honesty left in the Tory party. You're cunts.. .all of you 14/Ends
Calls to mind the rallying cry of capitalists everywhere: "Be first, be clever, or cheat". #ToriesOut teapawt.net/MammothWhale/status/99…
"Cunterific"?? a new adjective to add to our lexicon as the Tory culture of callousness embeds into our collective psyche. #feelingblue teapawt.net/davidclewis/status/992…

How 2 stay in power: turn MSM into propaganda, skew population counts, rely on a low turnout, & now, deny people their vote. #ToriesOut teapawt.net/docrussjackson/status/…
Tories are denying people the right to vote by forcing voters to prove their identities before casting their ballot. A 76-year-old man who has lived in Bromley for 40 years was “shocked” to be turned away because he did not have a bank card or passport. independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…
Evidence that England has dissociative identity disorder: "valued & vital citizen" v "deport 1st, ask questions later." #WindrushScandal teapawt.net/adinacampbell/status/9…
Reunited at last! This is the moment #Windrush grandmother Gretel Gorcan met her family after being stuck in Jamaica for 8 years
If we have enough examples of this type of economics, then this is where revolution really begins. teapawt.net/imajsaclaimant/status/…
Why has no-one thought of this sooner? info: search 'Preston model'
Bcause JC nos there is no media 4 the common good. Corporate media, at root, is in direct opposition 2 JC, despite ur sterling efforts, JO'B teapawt.net/mrjamesob/status/98774…
Every single news-based TV or radio programme in the country would have Jeremy Corbyn in a flash. He could be there every day, railing against Government failures & calling out any media bias. Currently, I can’t think of an easier job in politics. Why on earth doesn’t he want it?
100000..Now let's see if this Tory govt has any sense of shame & can be accountable to the Tory govt of 1971. #windrushamnesty teapawt.net/DavidLammy/status/9854…

We did it!! Thank you so much to the 100,000+ people who signed the petition. I will not rest until this wrong is righted. The government must grant an immediate amnesty, change the burden of proof and apologise for this historic and inhumane injustice. petition.parliament.uk/petit…

The impact it has on humans with little political capital is utterly heartbreaking. #Grenfell #benefitsanctions just bigger egs of the same teapawt.net/CMSLondon/status/98474…
How government, charged with the wellbeing of its citizens can rain down such cruelty onto a person is appalling. petition.parliament.uk/petit… teapawt.net/mcintosh_kim/status/98…

No - case by case is not enough. We need a programme in place from Home Office to sort the status for all 57,000 under threat of deportation after 40+ years of work and tax contributions. Not waiting until they are homeless and have media attention teapawt.net/bbcnews/status/9847011…
Like the Miners in 1980s, Tories know how to break things, not how to lead & manage social change or run an economy for all. #ToriesOut teapawt.net/CMSLondon/status/93922…
Merit still threatens the Public, wedded 2 the comforts of privilege. But the solidarity in this blog is heartening: theguyliner.com/opinion/in-d…
All bankrolled by the public purse & underwritten by a delusion: they act democratically for the public good. #ToriesOut teapawt.net/TomLondon6/status/9391…
Why is Davis still in post? Why is Green? Why is Johnson? Why is May? Answer to these questions lies in who has real, effective power in UK. Not MPs, largely People like Murdoch and Dacre are effectively keeping this miserable destructive government afloat
