Before 2016 there was never this much groundswell of people desperate to leave the EU as there is now to rejoin. In fact few people even thought about it. So why is Labour now so intent on denying the people another vote? Tory freeports and SEZs per chance? #RejoinEU

Broadly speaking, the people who voted to leave the EU in 2016 fell into 3 distinct groups which, as illustrated by the triple set Venn diagram, were not mutually exclusive. A more detailed explanation over the following 🧵

When religious extremism consumes a whole nation, the consequences can be disastrous. Whilst Israel is blighted by the inhumanity of zionist Judaism, the terror of fundamental Islam grips nations such as Afghanistan & Iran. Yet empowered evangelical Christianity in the US will likely eclipse it all.

Fox hunting is not a sport—it's a cruel and inhumane practice. Exploiting legal loopholes, hunters continue killing innocent foxes under the guise of "fun." 🦊💔 It's time to put an end to this outdated and barbaric tradition. 🐾 Share if you agree!

Private school run in south London linked to 27% rise in air pollution. Rise caused by parents ferrying children in Range Rovers and SUVs, not using public transport. The rich cause most of the carbon emissions, don't bear the social cost. Tax the rich. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

It would be interesting to ask Elon Musk how many lives he would be willing to destroy to preserve his wealth. ...actually, regardless of what he says, I think we all know the answer!

For those who haven’t noticed, Elon Musk's level of weirdness is off the charts.

Unless you can name a policy that is doing MORE damage to our economy than Brexit... Then it's kinda weird for anyone in politics NOT to be obsessed with Brexit and those responsible for it.

California sold its entire water supply for only $3bn. This single disaster has already cost over $100bn.

There's some rewriting of history going on today where people are saying: oh, Labour is struggling with the economy too, maybe it wasn't all the Tories' mismanagement...? The answer is that it's Brexit. It's Brexit! You can't fix the economy until you confront Brexit!

What with climate change turning California into a tinder dry wasteland, and Trump taking over soon, I reckon there’s half a chance that the UK economy could be saved by an influx of wealthy Americans happy to pay their taxes in a new country with a shared language and values (& no guns to boot)!

People who sanction the International Criminal Court in an effort to get them to stop pursuing War Criminals are materially aiding War Criminals and so are guilty of War Crimes themselves. RP so the perpetrators can't claim ignorance.

Rather than listen to a far right billionaire on ketamine, the words of sexual abuse survivors surely mean more. In a letter shared with the Guardian, victims have praised Jess Phillips: “No one in public life has done more to support survivors & advocate for their interests. "We stand by Jess."

The fact the ruling class now knows exactly how to force through a genocide in the 21st century means nobody, anywhere, is safe ‘Nobody is free until everybody is free’ is not some fluffy little slogan; it is a measure of an undeniable reality in which injustice connects us all

The government has told elderly & disabled people to wait until 2028 to hear its plan for social care. What about those who are suffering here and now? We don’t need a commission to know what to do: end austerity, reverse privatisation and build a National Care Service for all.

Saying that Brexit has been “less traumatic than Remainers claim” is an admission that Brexit has been traumatic. Reminder that it was sold to the British public as a game-changer in terms of turning the country around. Brexit has failed on its own terms.

Always useful to remind the Brexiters that the UK's contributions to the European budget were generally the lowest as a percentage of income.

If this year taught us anything, it's that: 1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires. 2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers. 3) Poverty is a policy choice. 4) Health care is a human right. 5) Strikes work. I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.

Someone told me that all the people who voted for Brexit were stupid. I disagreed, I said they were very stupid.
