So revealing to see people saying that progressive parties don't care about "ordinary people", only about "woke causes". It's so interesting who gets to be "ordinary" and why basic human rights are seen as luxuries. I guess Windrush and Grenfell didn't happen to ordinary people.

@NOWHelpTeam Thank you 🤙

@NOWHelpTeam will the OSCARS be available on demand tomorrow morning?
Or, only available to stream live tonight?

Who do you believe? A scumbag who's spent his entire life lying to wives, mistresses, voters, employers & party leaders or a weirdo who won Brexit by sticking a massive lie on a bus & claims he drove 60 miles with his baby son in the back of the car in order to test his eyesight?

How can it be more crystal clear how unreliable public authorities are on police violence, than in the contrast between this press release & the video we all know?

Over and over again, this is documented. With barely any changes to policing or *very importantly* prosecution.

Hillsborough: Prosecution starting today of two ex South Yorkshire police officers and the force's lawyer at the time the 96 were killed; charged with perverting the course of justice over amending of police statements.

THE MEGHAN MARKLE HELPLINE: Got a ridiculous opinion about her? We’ll endure it so others don’t have to.

[John Amaechi OBE @JohnAmaechi]

Gut punch. The conclusions drawn in the #InstitutionalRacism report of the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities contradict everything Black and Brown people know, and have experienced, to be true. I fear the repercussions will be devastating. #JediReflections

Taking a moment to appreciate this paragraph from Kim Stanley Robinson.

[David Henig 🇺🇦 @DavidHenigUK]

Have noted before the sometimes strangely passive nature of Brexit, something being done to us, not the result of UK public and government choices. I guess an exercise in reality avoidance.

IDEA 💡

Since statues are sacrosanct

And women's bodies are not

We should put up a statue

Every time a woman is assaulted

Creating a field of silent protestors

Who cannot be arrested nor removed

Because they are statues

😢

About to talk to Sky News about the right to protest

Awaiting your response to my email and tweets seeking your views on the #PolicingBill

Just a reminder that in the November/December lockdown regulations the government included exceptions for outdoor commemoration events (i.e. vigils) of unlimited size for Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day https://t.co/X1tVPMTEyN

[Adam Wagner KC @AdamWagner1]

Another reminder that in mid-September, the government secretly (i.e. it was hidden behind a euphemism) included an exception for grouse shooting to appease Tory backbenchers.

It's about priorities https://t.co/jysBp6qUYI

[Adam Wagner KC @AdamWagner1]

The government has such power over the lockdown regulations that it can bring in new ones with the swish of a minister's pen (literally).

It could clarify the law tomorrow to ensure the right to protest is protect - it's about priorities https://t.co/Yn0XgQPY9b
