Remember: Boris Johnson does not observe rules on Covid, on human rights, on international law, your money, relationships, truth etc etc etc etc

The electoral commission mission,Parliament, civil service. Johnson believes fervently in what he calls blessed sponge of amnesia. Make a small splash here and people will forget much bigger one over there. Works every time. On that note I’m taking myself off to write a new book

Especially energy. The fiasco of levelling up. The P&O scandal that show the failure that the levelling up programme is. The chaos in schools from covid. The struggling NHS. A deeply stressed and divided nation. Attacks on the institutions of democracy eg

Because the real story is the utter failure of Joynson as PM. Bug picture stuff. The Ukraine refugee scandal. The visceral dislike and distrust of Johnson on the world stage. The prospect of widespread poverty even destitution as a result of Brexit, covid, inflation and

About distraction. (As well as appealing to most extreme base of course) they are intended to and have succeeded in diverting attention from the real story here. This is classic Johnsonism and I’m sad that more people can’t see through it

Here we go again A thread. Boris Johnson’s words equating the battle to save Ukraine with Brexit will have been carefully chosen. He knows that they are shocking enough to attract huge attention. He does not care they are grotesque. Just as with the Peppa Pig speech they are

This evening, Louis, a 21 year-old supporter of Just Stop Oil, locked on to the goalpost at Goodison Park wearing a Just Stop Oil t-shirt, causing the referee to briefly stop play.
When explaining why he has chosen this action, Louis said:

Super clever logo for the feminist publisher The Women’s Press where GD& co-founder @lrplus_ worked not long after graduating. This is an early version of the iron logo and is by the brilliant Donna Muir.

From a conversation with @lrplus_ regarding her instagram.com/typographicnor… project this is a contemporary response to a composition by instagram.com/anthonyfroshau… that presented typographic spacing material. Froshaug's interest in mathematics is integral to the increments used here.

Tomorrow I’ll vote against #Brexit deal
At time of climate & nature emergency, I will not acquiesce in lower environmental standards
I won’t be complicit in creation of poorer, smaller UK with diminished global influence
There is no mandate for this

Who’s behind World4Brexit? The outfit beaming anti-lockdown messages on parliament as Farage announces a new anti-lockdown party? Well Steve Bannon was an advisor when it launched..

Read the thread. Farage’s World4Brexit was explicitly set up to fundraise for Brexit from US & overseas (who? We have no idea). It’s now projecting anti-lockdown messages on parliament. It’s exact same transatlantic dark money grift we’ve seen before. It’s dangerous. And it works

Not just 🇺🇸 but 🇪🇺&🌍 needs a president that brings people together.
Racism, populism, hate and chaos threaten us all.
Everyone, everywhere in his/her own way needs to do everything they can to get democracy back on track. Vote🗳Speak up✊🏻

If the UK thought that breaching the Withdrawal Agreement & international law would give them leverage, they were wrong.
Deeply regrettable it has come to this. Where is the Britain we all thought we knew and loved? 🇪🇺🇬🇧

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says the EU is starting legal action against the U.K. for breaching its obligations under the Withdrawal Agreement
