As snake oil salesman Farage attempts to flog his latest plans to turn the UK into a mini Trumpland, it’s extraordinary that @bbclaurak didn’t think to question him about the last disaster he sold us #Brexit#bbclaurak
One country invading another is never a good thing… It makes for a volatile, unstable and aggressive world, particularly when sovereign states now have nuclear capability… Yet part of me feels we, in the U.K., were invaded by a hostile force. This government has attacked every value I grew up with of decency and compassion. They have attempted consistently to pass laws to undermine and reconfigure a fair, inclusive society. They have done so whilst promoting their own values of selfishness, greed, ignorance and loathing for anyone vulnerable or disadvantaged. We may not have been invaded by a foreign power… But those at the helm of this country do not wish us well. They pass laws to allow our waters to become riddled with sewage, effectively dance on graves during a pandemic, nepotistically embezzle or lose billions of public funds, empower corrupt mp’s, increase financial disparity, destroy dreams of stable safety and security and encourage bigotry and racism with their idiotic, uncaring policies.
Invaders normally seek to divide and conquer new lands. This government is the most divisive of my lifetime… We can’t let them conquer whatever beauty we have left. Democracy can work for us. We still have the power to claw back the country they stole…
45 years ago today RAR & the ANL staged their Carnival Against The Nazis. Misty In Roots led the march on a truck. On stage: Patrik Fitzgerald, X-Ray Spex, The Clash, TRB & Steel Pulse. The Clash weren't on the poster as Bernie Rhodes refused to confirm until very last minute...
My @SkyNews interview exposing Braverman’s lies is approaching 2 million views.
This is democracy in action.

Imagine you're Richard Madeley.
You've spent the whole Christmas coming up with a comeback for Mick Lynch after he ran rings around you the last time you spoke.
You give it your best shot, and in three seconds Mick Lynch makes you look silly. Again.
Great to see @greenpeace in Tory party conference asking who voted for this? They’re right - nobody voted for more fracking, tearing up nature protections or the £ in free fall.
We need a general election now #CPC22
Millions in poverty, one of the highest covid death rates in the world & worst recession of any G7 country caused by a self serving, incompetent Gov’t that shamelessly breaks the law & cares nothing for truth yet all we are talking about is Harry & Meghan. Has the penny dropped?
