BBC News have a piece on me today and have been astonishingly generous in the use of my pictures!

Honestly, just lock it all down for January. Pay everyone to stay home, it’s our money anyway. Call it “lockdown to help shutdown” or something, because the UK only responds to stupid rhyming shit. It’s cold, nobody likes January, we’re all broke anyway, lock us in and pay up.

This deal MAY be better than no deal ( I’m still trying to understand implications) BUT it is a terrible deal compared to the one we were had or told we would have. Don’t be fooled through relief.We were either lied to or our negotiators were abysmal.

A long read so let me provide a few highlights
As speculation mounts that home secretary Priti Patel may seek to restore the death penalty next year, now is a useful time to reflect on what the government has done to human rights during its first year in office.

Beautiful. Look there's our shop @CUPBookshop ! 😍 We're not open, but we will be so again when we can. Stay safe everyone.
This whole thread makes me so sad i can't bear it. Merry Christmas to everyone who was born in the eu but doesn't qualify for anything other than a worthless British passport. I love feeling slapped in the face by smug people at Christmas.

“In the night the snow came. She awoke on Christmas morning in that unmistakeable light, coming up from the earth and shining between her curtains.”

It's #ChristmasEve and for the 90000000th day in row it feels like there is nothing to look forward to. Yet I am helplessly wishing my children and my loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I will look after them if I can. Stay close everyone.
My mood currently counting down the seconds and watching repair shop for the first time ever so I don't miss the start of #BBCGhosts COME ON

Never forget:
Our 'sovereign Parliament' never debated the outcome of the 'advisory' referendum.
Never.
It did not debate the question, 'Shall we take the advice of 37% of the electorate' - less than the legal threshold for a strike?
Without studies or plans it just jumped blind.
