STATE OF UNDEMOCRACY:
We have been warned. Our elected representatives are being subject to undemocratic overseers as part of the Parliamentary Standards process.

I'll be at @comicartfest on 16th-17th October signing copies of the anthology 'Breakthrough - Our Time,' that includes my graphic novella 'Looking for Love in Brexit Britain' + stories from @HodgsonWrites, @abbiebsart + @TheDanOLDB. Edited by @Tim_Pilcher, out now from @spenguin!
@hackneycouncil just changed the parking spaces outside this social housing block to ‘electric vehicles only’, presumably so the residents will be able to park their 50k Teslas more easily. Very considerate Mr Mayor @mayorofhackney
This just isn’t acceptable . Young people get self-limiting illnesses and don’t need a vaccination . Vulnerable people do need them but ultimately being vaccinated should be a personal choice for these students . University bans students without vaccine https://t.co/0mL0ARTPA3
I would not take this survey seriously. Not my experience of talking to East and Central European people in the UK. Willing to bet with anyone cause I am absolutely sure that large proportion of EU citizens will not leave the UK https://t.co/wzqLHDJLmj
I forgot to post this bit from my intervention on mandatory vaccinations for care-home staff yesterday - with an important shout out to @rightsforresid2 & @JohnCampaign and their work in detailing how badly residents and staff are suffering under current restrictions.
Gov's uncanny ability to pick its timing to ruin every possible joyous occassion, is something that'll stay with me. Christmas cancelled; holidays cancelled; weddings/family parties cancelled. Now any possible joy on lacklustre freedom day ruined by vaccine passport announcement
319 to 246 MPs voted for mandatory vaccinations for ALL people working in care homes.
This is a very dark day for civil liberties in the UK and a very slippery slope; we strongly suspect they won't stop at care homes.
Please help us carry on the fight 👉 https://t.co/IZQvl5R8fH
Over 7 million now vaccinated - that’s half way to the 14 mill stated as milestone for Reopening
PM today said ‘sometimes there are no good options’. We’re a long way down that road. Saying ‘want to’ get society back open not the same as Planning to Kic Start robustly #lockdown
Not having a dig at Catherine, more that joining the EU scheme would have been the likely policy of any Labour Government in power at the time, whether Corbynite or Blairite
The case has not been made. The cost-benefit analysis has not been done. The evidence for lockdowns has not been presented. The evidence against lockdowns has been ignored. The onus is on those who want to take away our fundamental freedoms to justify their actions.
@talkRADIO @JuliaHB1@michaelgove Good question. Goes to show that the Government hasn’t conducted a cost benefit analysis of lockdown. Zero risk doesn’t exist, so it should be an exercise in balancing risks. Clearly an exercise that hasn’t been conducted.
Julia asks Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove: "What is the acceptable level of deaths from coronavirus that means we get our freedoms back?"

1/2 Looks like a coordinated press attack on @ProfKarolSikora today, how strange & sinister.
This man got me through the first few months, took time to DM me advice for a family member with cancer & explained to me what the anti body tests my family had, meant.
A climate of McCarthyite vengeance is whooshing around the Covid crisis making the lockdown even more authoritarian than it already was – now it isn’t only our daily lives that are being locked down; so are our minds & thoughts
