You seeing this, @ElonMusk?
You see this, this is what happens in real life. The bots can't show up on the streets. On the right there (yeah the far right) are the 6 nazis who turned up to cause mayhem. Everyone else is there to stop them. This is England.

Worth spreading these videos as much as possible, the more humiliating the better. Part of the task of the next few days is messaging: you'll be arrested, you'll go to prison, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

Take note that this is from the editor of The Spectator so no particular friend of Labour!
The Tories keep pushing this deceitful £2,094 figure in the belief that people will get tired of highlighting the dishonesty. In the print era, maybe this was effective. In the digital era, it serves only to undermine their credibility. https://t.co/xBhfB2oubx

You've descended into a tinpot airline @British_Airways with no concept of communication: at first you said it was "a part" without saying that the spare part had to be driven in & would arrive 4 hours after scheduled take off. Why not cancel and de-plane?

Hi @British_Airways your flight BA0207 to Miami from Heathrow has been stuck at LHR tarmac for 6 hours! This is a total disgrace @timestravel @ST_Travel @ESEscapist @HeathrowAirport Pack of fibs from staff all day about when it's leaving

Shambolic flight or attempt at flight by BA - the 3pm from Gatwick to NYC & we've had a broken plane, now food that might have gone off meaning no take off (it's almost 6pm). Terrible terrible service @britishairways Oh, and BA check in broken earlier. #BrokenBritain

V perceptive article by @benson_louise for @ArtReview_ and btw the @EveningStandard article cited and critiqued by Louise is literally one of the most laughable/awful things I've read about contemporary art in the past few years...!
On ‘rip-off degrees’, the so-called ‘YLAs’, and those who have the luxury to choose whether to stay or go in the artworld. I got angry and wrote about it all for @ArtReview_ 👀 https://t.co/f2Nn1tbY6u

In my experience, the inability to come to grips with what happened in #BlackJuly1983 still holds #SriLanka back.
Riot Police were deployed to Borella, Colombo as thugs attempted to disrupt a #BlackJuly commemoration demonstration by activists and the public. Tamils in Sri Lanka marked the 40th anniversary of #Blackjuly1983 today

So @AndyBurnhamGM @GuardianCricket India play tests at Headingly & Old Trafford in 2025 but that's not good enough because there's not an Ashes test next time round. This is exactly the type of implicit racism the recent report was about....

Problem with demanding an Ashes test must be played in the north @AndyBurnhamGM is that it denigrates every other test playing nation.Implication=test matches against other countries are second tier - it doesn't matter if those take place in North if a precious Ashes test doesn't

Not sure that #OllieRobinson verbally abusing the first Muslim cricketer to play for Australia is particularly sensible given his history of racist tweets (10ish years ago, but still)...not exactly Bazball good-vibes spirit @ECB_cricket eh?#Ashes

I for one, love Bazball. The anarchic will to lose is liberating. There's something that's tied into the loss of empire, Brexit-failure & a joyful revelling of what the nation will become #bazball #ashes #screwjerusalem #runtowardsdanger

It is a bright Wednesday morning in May. My son, T, a Year 8 pupil, should be at school and I should be working, but instead we are playing tennis. We are also listening to ‘Romeo and Juliet’ by Dire...

Day 12 #strikes - 242,580 hrs of learning lost & disrupted. Thousands of #Lewisham kids denied education. @LewishamNeu & @LSFederation, uphold your duty: protect a child’s right to education, return to negotiations, end the deadlock & get our kids back to school.#findawayforward
