Thank you @metpoliceuk for increasing their membership today.
A quarter of a BILLION pounds of public money for an unnecessary and brief ceremony, but they can’t find funds for NHS staff to be paid properly, and food bank use is at an unprecedented high.
Tell me again how they’re focusing on what the people want
Celebrating tradition is all very well. But if we’re doing it against a backdrop of raging inequality, authoritarianism and govt contempt, then it can quickly become demeaning. Using the celebrations to claim all is well is just another way to shirk political responsibility.
In case you missed it ...
Brexiters swore that we would stay in the Single Market and that the EU would let us cherry pick whatever we wanted. We now know that was a lie. If we'd have known it before the ref, Brexit would have been rejected.

I see little difference between the arrest in Russia of demonstrators displaying 'No to War' signs and the arrest of demonstrators in London yesterday displaying 'Abolish the Monarchy' signs. It's a chilling sign of the times.

I have no idea why people are celebrating an institution which has wielded power & control over humans as its *key objective* since its inception in order to amass wealth and power, at a time when our country is sliding into authoritarianism.
Why are people clapping and waving?
Will the people who keep rebuking me when I say we are now a fascist state please take note! No offence had been committed. Peaceful protest is still not an offence, so even if they had unfurled their banners they should not be arrested. Filming a protestor is legal.
I don’t understand how we’re the weirdos for booing the national anthem.
Why would I pledge allegiance to some rich, sausage-fingered knobhead I’ve not met and couldn’t give a fuck if I lived or died?
Baffling. Look after friends, look after people in need before them pricks.
Ask yourself this: have things got better in Britain since Brexit happened? Forget the excuses, Covid, Ukraine, whatever else, have things got better? No, they haven't and everyone would agree on that. And that was the promise in 2016, that Brexit would make things better.
Did you know that not only was Brexit stupid, it was actually illegal?
Because they knew it was influenced by Putin 👇
In activating Article 50 we now know that Theresa May with the backing of her cabinet (which included then Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson) failed to take account of any relevant factors apart from the referendum result and in doing so violated the Acts of 2015 and 2017 and in any event acted unreasonably and therefore unlawfully
Please Retweet so you all know the truth behind shitty Brexit
