Gisèle Pelicot waived anonymity in a mass rape trial, so that "macho, patriarchal society that trivialises rape" could change. Her courage unfathomable, no honour too great, she stood up for ALL women, changed history and yet Time's Person of the Year is a male sexual assaulter:

The Tories are lost because every part of their ideology has failed.

Commentary on the leadership race has focused on the candidates, but their fundamental problem is that their entire worldview has collapsed

By me, for Bloomberg - £ but screengrabs: 🧵

If UK news shows are going to give Boris Johnson a platform to spout his absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it

We cannot allow those once in power to rewrite history.

If you agree RT this FACT CHECK

We practiced with caskets that were stored outside our barracks building. To simulate the weight of honored remains, we’d toss several full sandbags into the belly of the casket and then, for hours, we’d go through our exact movements.

Over and over and over.

My little brother asked me why everything suddenly seems so fucked - and this is about as simple an answer as I could give.

Also, football. I wrote my MA on football & VAWG. There are so many campaigns on the correlation this euros which are important. But, it feels important to also say - organisations paying attention to VAWG around the euros when they don’t otherwise denotes football = VAWG >

Many thanks, @wesstreeting.

Have to say I really didn't have "stop exploiting those patients you see dying in corridors in horrifically overwhelmed A&Es" on this year's Christmas list.

Please consider reading this short thread in response to your Sunday Times interview. 1/n

The government:
‘Rwanda have signed a TREATY and Treaties are, like, totally BINDING’

Also the government:
‘Our draft legislation just bypasses Treaties we have previously signed as they now prove politically inconvenient’

[Matt Ashby @LessCrime]

Why don’t police arrest many people at protests, even when lots of people are breaking the law?

A 🧵 to explain …

(If you’d like to tell me I’m wrong, please read the whole thread first! 🙏)

‘We’ll change the law to say the water is safe’

'It is a vile and discredited theory...'

It was 'dangerous' for Suella Braverman to say that rapid cultural change would 'dilute what was already there', says @SangitaMyska, as she debunks some of the claims made in the Home Secretary's Washington speech.

🚨We went undercover to investigate the government's Rwanda plan.
Suella Braverman now has serious questions to answer.

[Robert Saunders @redhistorian]

The most powerful idea in British politics is "the economy".

Parties promise to "grow", "unleash" or "manage" the economy.

It tops lists of voter concerns.

But what if we had no concept of "the economy"?

Until the C20th, we didn't. And its rise has had major consequences...🧵

[Will Hayward @WillHayCardiff]

Right time for a good old fashioned fact check about this £1,600 to illegal immigrants claim.

As always, this takes some unpacking but it is well worth it because some of our politicians are making claims with are demonstrably false.

An obscene wrap song aimed at the much loved Nadine Dorries & performed by a drug addicted vegan family is doing the rounds.
These semi clad Marxist chavs are a disgrace. See how dad nervously keeps looking to his left desperate for his skunk.
Outrageous😡

[Edwin Hayward @edwinhayward]

🧵The Tories deliberately and cynically manufactured the asylum seeker crisis.

How? By drastically cutting the number of asylum applications processed within 6 months.

That creates a large, highly visible backlog of applicants.

Let's look at the situation step by step...
