What does the future hold if we allow the government to restrict our right to protest? The answer is: nothing good. Together we can demand the government's new anti-protest laws are scrapped. Sign the @AmnestyUK petition today: https://t.co/LZ5NNcRjO1
It's a good moment to remind people of the 7 Nolan principles of standards in public life (how politicians, civil servants, charity trustees etc are bound to act in public roles)
1 Selflessness.
2 Integrity.
3 Objectivity.
4 Accountability.
5 Openness.
6 Honesty.
7 Leadership

@Ryanair help! My Irish husband has sent off his passport to get our baby a new Irish passport. We won't get his passport in time before we leave for Limerick on 18 Sep. He doesn't have a driving license, is there any other form of documentation he can bring?
@Urban_Pictures Women gather peacefully in honour of a young woman abducted and murdered by a male police officer and are arrested and kettled. Boys gathered to drink & vandalise buisinesses & what? where are the police? #ripSarahEverard#PritiPatel#homeSecretary#FootballThugs
Like to apologise for tweet highlighting £370k of taxpayers’ money paid to Sir Phillip Rutman to keep his claims of bulling by #PritiPatel quiet. Turns out I underestimated. Taxpayers also met Patel's legal costs. Another £30k of tax payer funds to protect the Home Sec. Why?
Boris Johnson told his Cabinet today that the racism suffered by England football players had "emerged from the dark spaces of the internet."
Here's just a few of those dark spaces.
"I will never apologise for who I am and where I came from," England footballer Marcus Rashford says after receiving racist abuse

If I was advising the England players from a grid/media management/keep the argument going perspective I would today get one of the white players to restate commitment to taking the knee. And point out Johnson past racist statements and his not condemning those who booed. 1/3
Marcus Rashford, Tyrone Mings and the England team lost the Euros final on penalties in the most heartbreaking of circumstances last night.
Today they are calling the government out on their stoking of racism & educating our country on structural racism. What an incredibe team.
