They partied , they bet on elections , they crashed the economy, they broke every public service, they destroyed integrity and honesty in public office , they paid their mates billions , they put their friends in the House of Lords, they gave their cronies knighthoods, they went into the jungle , they lied again and again, they were convicted by police, they went on holiday when they shouldn’t and they have the cheek to question Keir Starmer’s work ethic. I would never take anything for granted but I hope they are annihilated on Thursday. The worst people and government we have ever had!

P.S good afternoon all 😊❤️

@Rory_Talks_Ball Sad sack doesn’t know ball.

[Edwin Hayward @edwinhayward]

Get to Know the Bibby Stockholm...

- 500+ single adult men crammed onto a barge with a capacity of 222 in normal use (e.g. as accommodation for oil workers)

Single rooms:
- 2 strangers, sharing an austere metal bunk bed
- TV (as mocking and useless as a paperweight: they've been deliberately detuned so they won't pick up anything, to "encourage socialising" apparently)
- 1 chair, 1 desk, 1 wardrobe
- A window (it's supposed to be able to open; this is touted as a major plus by the barge's owners)
- Shower and toilet

Slightly larger rooms:
- 4 strangers, in 2 bunk beds

Communal areas:
(Most of the larger ones have been repurposed into dormitories. The thin list below is pretty much all that's left.)
- Narrow corridors
- TV room with sofas, seating up to 12 people max
- Tiny gym
- Classroom with seating for perhaps 20, some sort of laptops, and "wifi access"
- Bar (off-limits to asylum seekers, and reserved as a "staff lounge")
- Multi-faith prayer room
- Games room with a pool table and a few chairs
- "Outdoor" space surrounded on all four sides by massive walls made up of the 3-storeys of cabins, so you can't see anything other than sky
- Canteen dining area (not nearly big enough for 500 people)

Other facilities:
- Basic meals 3x a day (but note that the canteen seems far too small to seat everyone at once, so presumably there will be shifts coming and going all the time)
- Laundry service
- On-site nurse 5 days a week
- Access to GP if referred by the nurse

Beyond the ship:
- Airport-style security (metal detectors etc.)
- 24/7 guards conducting "robust security checks"
- 15ft high fence all around
- No pedestrian access to the port or the wider area
- Only way to get to Weymouth and beyond is on the occasional shuttle buses
- Have to sign register every time they leave

The asylum seekers on board are likely to be there between six months and a year or more.

They can't work.

They will be fed and their clothes washed, but they will have just over a pound a day for absolutely everything else they need.

They are expected to spend the overwhelming majority of their time on the barge, where as we've seen there are leisure and learning facilities for maybe 1/10th of people if we're being extremely generous with how we estimate it.

It is truly, truly disgusting.

@RishiSunak You’re signing the death warrant of our planet with every license you agree.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

The Greek government is evacuating Rhodes.

Both Labour and the Tories are toying with abandoning environmental policies.

I despair.

[Lewis Potton @LPotton]

@SimonClarkeMP Couldn’t be arsed to turn up though? Classic.

@Rory_Talks_Ball We all know Rory is clueless.

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

Exactly 200 years after William Wilberforce founded the Anti-Slavery Society, here’s Suella Braverman at a facility to which she hopes to deport trafficked victims of modern slavery.

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

Worth remembering that very right-wing oligarchs own The Times, The Sun, The Mail, The Telegraph (& the Sunday editions), the Spectator, GBeebies, Talk TV & the Conservative Party. The Express pursues their agenda for financial reasons. And they're all terrified of Gary Lineker.

[Dan Walker @mrdanwalker]

Whatever you think of the tweet, the response, the BBC, MOTD & impartiality… it’s interesting to consider what would have happened if @GaryLineker had backed the government on twitter this week.
Would there have been the same backlash?
Would we be in this situation? 🤔
