"For Britain to withdraw from Europe would be to retire into "an old people's home for fading nations...I do not even think it would be a comfortable or agreeable old people's home. I do not much like the look of some of the prospective wardens".(Jenkins)

On 5 June 1975, we voted to stay in Europe. It was a vote for peace, unity and shared purpose. 50 years on, the lessons still speak to us. ⤵️

Abhorrent. “The soldiers film people fighting over the aid, and once it’s finished, they throw teargas to disperse the crowd. I saw displaced people who couldn’t get any aid picking pasta from the sand.” www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Five years today, the statue of Edward Colston was pulled down in Bristol. Boris Johnson accused protestors of trying to "photoshop" the past and "lie about our history". I'm reposting below a thread I wrote at the time: on history, memory, and how we decide who to celebrate in our public spaces.🧵

This is appalling, no decent Brit can stand by and see the brave fallen men of D-Day appropriated by fascist scum.

Nigel Farage was screaming to scrap furlough because it was a waste of money, while he had already claimed £120,000 for himself. He is a fraud every word is a lie

No shock to see soon to be former leader of the opposition Kemi Badenoch choosing the 81st anniversary of D-Day to come out with a 4 Flag alarm insisting that Britain must leave the ECHR in order to be able to deport all immigrants arriving by boat Timing is everything

As berks go berserk over the burqa (again) millions of Muslims will not give a hoot as they mark Eid today, thinking of what really matters. Children dying of starvation in Gaza.

In a democracy, *should* the question we ask ourselves be "Am I better off?" What about "are other people better off?" "Are the laws fair?" "Are we more secure?" "Are we trashing the planet for the future?" The left, in particular, should be really wary of transactional framings of democracy. 1/3

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

Also it will be run by someone like Palantir and be subject to a massive data breach. You cant have an electronic database that governs the rights you are allowed to have in this country. It is such a bad idea and solves no problem that isn't better solved by telling the Home Office to chill out.

It remains hilarious that Musk can’t admit to himself that he is, and has always been, on the far right.

Our island does have a barren, moss filled flat spot that would be an excellent venue for Mr. Musk to bareknuckle fight Mr. Trump for supremecy of their respective worlds. Winner gets a gentle kiss and foot bath from Mr. Bannon.
