Inequality hater. Tries to always see the good in people - but disappointed from time to time.

As Tories fall over themselves to defend the indefensible, just a reminder of how one of the alleged victims here - Sir Philip Rutnam - described the “vicious and orchestrated campaign” against him for challenging the alleged mistreatment of civil servants by Priti Patel...

[dave ❄️ 🥕 🧻 @mrdavemacleod]

pretty grim sight in #AntiBullyingWeek to see half the Tory party come out to support Priti Patel and say bullying is all fine and dandy if only all those pesky victims could shut up and stop getting so upset 🤮

This is a reminder that the Prime Minister removed the whip from 21 rebel MP's to punish them for voting to block a no-deal Brexit,

The fact that he has not suspended the Tory MP, accused of rape, tells you a lot about his core values and motivations.

I see the elevation of Evgeny Lebedev to the Lords as similar to the withdrawal of American troops from Germany. Putin is sitting there with a few choice cronies & betting them that he can get Trump & Johnson to do things that even Kremlin kleptocrats will struggle to believe.

Boris Johnson is understood to be furious after he was blocked from giving peerages to some of the Conservative Party's financial backers and is threatening to reform the House of Lords in retaliation. @BorisJohnson https://t.co/rRDVHU6fvO

Despite us being out of the EU, Nigel Farage is still screaming about people coming from the Middle-East...

It's almost as if non-EU immigration had nothing to do with the EU, which would mean he led a campaign based on nothing but rabidly illogical racism...🤔

Johnson doesn’t care about the country. He doesn’t care what anyone else thinks. He’s there to reward friends, repay favours and consolidate his own power, and he’ll do whatever he damn well likes. Never has a prime minister so openly paraded his corruption or contempt.

[David Head @DavidHeadViews]

How the hell did Rachel Johnson get her own show on @LBC? Today, she used her airtime to congratulate her brother Jo on being given a peerage by their brother Boris Johnson. Britain is turning rancid.

36 new peers. Once again people have been appointed to our legislature for LIFE, with full voting & speaking rights, but no public scrutiny. Why, under a government supposedly committed to openness and transparency, are these appointments made in secret (apart from a few leaks)?

Kate Hoey has blocked me so she won’t see this, but I must say the elevation of her, Claire Fox and Evgeny Lebedev to the House of Lord is probably the most undemocatic and most corrupt moment in Britain’s history for two hundred years
