This is the Covid Memorial wall in London. It took me a full 10 minutes to walk its length in 2022. Then, there were 197,635 Covid deaths. Now, there are >230k. Boris Johnson’s unforgivable legacy. Then, we had no power. Now, finally, we do. VOTE 👊

Replying to @SuellaBraverman
This letter is self centred rubbish from someone devoid of any humanity & unfit for public office Absolutely no remorse or contrition for inciting hatred against immigrants, asylum seekers, homeless ppl, police & more Suella & Rishi can take each other out along with all Tories

Never forget. This man asked people to vote on #Brexit. Without defining what Brexit meant. Without carrying out any projections of consequences. All in an (unsuccessful) attempt to settle an internal Tory party feud. He then knighted all his mates and f***ed off into the sunset.

My least favourite bit of rhetorical gaslighting is when a politician says ‘and most decent people agree’ after something totally not decent, to shepherd anyone who sees themselves as decent into a position that is inhumane. Yes I am talking about Suella Braverman.

After thirteen years of Tory rule, an unprecedented number of people are sleeping in tents. The Tory response is to ban tents.

Very fortunate to have seen Martin Carthy + @JonWilksMusic last night at the Midlands Arts Centre! A splendid evening of folk music and this lovely friendship. Catch them near you in the next five weeks!

Please watch this trailer of my documentary marking 50 years since the release of @OfficialNilsson's classic album, "A Little Touch of Schmilsson In The Night". I need your help to try and make this into an official film! I also want to find engineer Phil McDonald, so please RT!

Killing more innocent people to avenge the killing of innocent people is the stupidest thing humans do. And we do a lot of stupid things.

Musk didn’t just flood the platform with bad actors, conspiracy theorists, disinformation disseminators & propagandists, he gave them the (imperfect but effective) verification mark that had previously been reserved for proven trusted sources. And now we reap what he sowed.

During Mark Harper's speech this morning the small amount of attendees are corralled into an area on the right so Party people like this man (red arrow) can take a deceptive photo. If anyone sees that photo on social media then do point it out #CPC23 #ConservativePartyConference

I'm sorry, but you can't *always* be experiencing a higher volume of calls than average. That's not how averages work.
