@AlastairJT Of course it was illegal, that's how the law and power operate. If you have the power in Parliament, declare your opposition illegal and have them arrested by the *independent* police.

If you watched the local election coverage on the BBC there's a good chance this will make sense. #Marr

A visibly angry @johnmcdonnellMP calling out Theresa May and Tory Party Chairman Brandon Lewis for congratulating racist Pendle councillor that they horrifically reinstated to win the Council #marr

Absolutely astonished. https://t.co/lOQyblejV1

We need to respectfully raise why this is unacceptable.

Later today, Lula will be sent to prison. His persecution represents a narrowing of Brazilian democracy with far-reaching consequences. https://t.co/B4Mcrgguas

FYI:

I asked a close Jewish friend his opinion of the anti-semitic mural controversy. He spoke about his son who is no Corbyn fan & heavily involved in campaigns to tackle anti-semitism & this is what his son had to say (he gave me permission to share):

Several dozen Labour MPs are trying to scupper Labour's chances at the local elections. Then they will blame it on Brexit and Corbyn, point to where we are in electoral cycle and, before March 2019, launch yet another leadership campaign. Clear as day. Move on!

[Paul Mason @paulmasonnews]

British media awash with smears against Corbyn. It’s a different smear each week but with one aim - to stop radical change + social justice

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

Proud to be in a Party whose leader @jeremycorbyn has committed himself to fighting against racism and fascism in all its forms for past 40 years + https://t.co/Stfzafpooo

Wow, fantastic coverage of @mcrfoe campaign for #PlasticFree takeaways at Levenshulme market today, on national news! Great promotion for @levymarket and beautiful @reddylane local organic produce too

If Spain and Catalonia were not a part of EU, the EU Commission would surely disapprove what happens in Catalonia. EU's morality disappears when violence of human and political rights happens inside EU. This is corruption and devaluation of European values. https://t.co/1N4qqvbEg8

Stalin mass murdered political opponents. Corbyn sacked someone. If you cant tell the difference really you don't deserve to be a politician or journalist

So far today, 10,000 people around the world have called their nearest Canadian embassy to protest the Kinder Morgan pipeline. Because carbon emissions don't stop at borders.

.@MollyMEP has written to @ElectoralCommUK to ask a question that must surely be on many people's minds:

Just how dodgy do the methods used to to contest an election - or referendum - need to be before its result is declared illegitimate?

My dude, where did you plug in that thing you found on the floor of the plane?
