@thecoastguy I’m genuinely concerned. The polar opposite of what the majority voted for has been manoeuvred into government, in plain sight and with no attempt made to hide it. We’ve been sent a message. We no longer live in a functioning democracy. The U.K. is in serious trouble.

@JamesMelville The revisionism starts. This in the same week the WHO decided to redefine ‘Covid deaths’ to include all those who were unable to access medical treatment for other conditions because of Covid restrictions. They’re now literally citing excess fatality rate as ‘Covid deaths.’

Marine Le Pen is now a credible contender for the French Presidency. This has triggered ‘outrage’ among people who genuinely seem to have no idea how this has happened. It’s actually quite simple. 1/5

@josiahmortimer @LauraSRobinson But they're fundamentally different things. You're eligible to vote merely by virtue of being you; Voter ID just proves you're you. Vaccine Passports are required to prove you've satisfied specified criteria - criteria which are amendable at the government's discretion.

@sophielouisecc I couldn’t care less what he was wearing. I DO care that he’s punished to fullest extent of the law for fleeing the scene of an accident.

Nothing to do with the standards you set for yourself. This is damage limitation because you got caught saying something you believe. Own it.

After a robust interview with Steve Baker MP I used a very offensive word in an unguarded moment off air.  While it was not broadcast that word in any context is beneath the standards I set myself and I apologise unreservedly. I have reached out to Steve Baker to say sorry

Can't we take the names of every single person protesting and cancel any furlough they're receiving? Presumably they're safe going to work now?

@berniespofforth History will judge us harshly for ever allowing this. More people should have pushed back harder and sooner. Even prisoners get visitation rights FFS.

@ElanderNews Antisemitism is a real and growing problem in the U.K. I have Jewish friends who are genuinely considering leaving 💔 When the CPS refuses to prosecute people who drove round Golders Green calling for the rape and murder of British Jews, how do I tell them they should stay?

@Iromg @montie That's the point. It's not about being pro-Trump or pro-Biden; it's about being pro-democracy. It may change nothing but there's enough prima facie evidence that the integrity of the election is uncertain without judicial review.

I’m honestly running out of ways to view this as ‘mere’ incompetence or cowardice. At what point are we entitled to ask if it’s deliberate? Surely our authorities aren’t this naive? (6)

The teacher in Batley. If he'd done that in Scotland instead of England, instead of being in police protection he'd have been arrested under the new Hate Crime legislation. #SNPout
