Johnson’s remarks akin to fascist populist's like Hungary's Orban:
“We’ve embarked on a massive project to change the government, of the constitution of the country, the way we run our legal system.”

ALL CHARGES DROPPED!
Since my exclusive report about 70-year-old black man hospitalised after a police stop, the police have dropped their criminal investigation into Mr Dixon; however the IOPC is continuing to investigate the police officers.
Update from last year's report
"I thought they were going to kill me"- Mr Dixon
The 70-year-old spoke exclusively to me on @ITVLondon about the broken nose/cheekbone & bruises he received after a 'routine police stop'. The Met said there was a 'struggle' after Mr Dixon was stopped due to a broken brake light
On a train in Bristol today, two young men called me scum for wearing a face mask.
I wasn't impacting them by doing so, and made no effort to communicate them. They verbally attacked me in a public space. I was on my own. They were together.

In 2008, it was a leader on ethical shopping with its biodegradable bags - what went wrong??
Why am I having to listen to Tories speak on climate change??
They're so late to the party it's incredulous. And they're response remains like trying to put out a house on fire with a bucket of water every five minutes.
Being in Government doesn't make them spokespeople!
Recent UK news suggests this'll be a tough winter for many. If you're fortunate enough that you can afford to, it might be worth discussing with your families now whether you can all cut back on the gifts and donate the money to charity instead

Dawn Butler ejected from Commons for saying Johnson has lied repeatedly.
Butler: “It’s funny that we get in trouble in this place for calling out the lie, rather than the person lying.”
