You Tories who are about to choose our next PM. Please read this, watch the video... and then think very carefully. You are being played and you could well be taking us down a very dark path that history will not look kindly on.

Stabbing moments of realisation that Boris Johnson will almost certainly be prime minister soon. Painful sense of national shame. General horror.

As historian of fascism & Holocaust, I would also call these centers concentrations camps. As a Jewish person who lost family in Holocaust, I regret that some Republicans use memory of the Holocaust to defend racist policies of trumpism. @aoc is right.

Hi @Liz_Cheney, I worked at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, where I gave tours to tens of thousands of folks, introducing them to things everyone should know about the Holocaust, things you'd know if you actually visited. @AOC is right... (thread)

During the trial of a man charged with aiding undocumented migrants, the prosecutor accused him of doing almost verbatim what the Bible calls on Christians to do

Three years ago, the Suffolk countryside was plastered with pro Brexit placards. Drove home tonight through barley fields kissed by the evening sun and lit up by Stop Brexit banners! ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

Tonight’s debate was a reminder of Britain’s problem negotiating Brexit. 5 Cabinet ministers cannot agree a common position. Yet 27 EU countries, both main parties in Ireland & the EU Commission have stayed united.

Britain's next PM will be decided by a 160,000-strong Tory membership that is 70% male, 97% white, 86% social class ABC1, 50% of whom read the Telegraph or the Daily Mail and who have an average age of 57, according to @ProfTimBale's presentation to an Oxford conference today.

We either live in a democracy or we don't. If we live in a democracy then, we DON'T 'honour' illegal referenda, we DON'T refuse to represent over half the population, and we DON'T tell ppl they are not allowed to change their minds. So do we live in a democracy or not? #Brexit

Message for Boris: I’m mostly off-radar right now, supporting a relative in the High Dependency Unit of my (brilliant) local hospital. He’s had a rough ride but is on the mend. And I know it’s very un-English and impolite to mix the personal..1./

After three bloody years, & despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, a significant portion of the country remains in thrall to fact-free pantomime toffs braying that Brexit is deliverable & desirable. They won’t explain why it’s broken & can’t describe how they’ll fix it.

This should be required viewing for everyone in UK. It won't make an impression on those voting for the C&U party leader, nor the Brextremists, but that's because it's simply statements of fact. Kudos to Sky News for at least once calling out the bullshit

It now seems very likely we'll have our *20th* Old Etonian as prime minister. In our entire parliamentary history, we've been governed by an Old Etonian as PM for 101 years out of 298. So 34% of the time. Whatever their individual merits... this country is absurd.

A 40,000-year-old severed wolf's head, preserved by permafrost complete with teeth and fur, has been discovered in eastern Siberia, where locals looking for mammoth ivory found the remains on the banks of the Tirekhtyakh River in Yakutia https://t.co/mq4fDrcn8o
