They killed him. I am heartbroken. I am thinking of his wife and kids, his friends and colleagues. RIP courageous #AlexeiNavalny. May you find many wonderful rivers to swim in. https://t.co/SnNhiYKbuP

@raulpacheco Two ethnographies of the World Bank come to mind: "Hypocrisy Trap" by @kateweaverUT and "Values in Translation" by Galit Sarfaty. Also "Keepers of the Flame" by @SteveHopgood on Amnesty if you mean IOs in a broad sense.

“The UK is not part of the EU. They are upset by the use of the word Malvinas. If they were in the EU perhaps they would have pushed back against it.” The alternative spelling of schadenfreude. https://t.co/Xtdcl4WKN8

Some people mentioned that they were interested in reading my thesis - I've just had some artwork finished so what better time to share it. 7 years of research, 316 pages of blood, sweat, and a completely altered perception of reality 📖🌱🙏🏻 https://t.co/KCiDaFIRgq

"In a democracy it is the head of state who should be swearing allegiance to the people, not the other way around. This kind of nonsense should have died with Elizabeth I, not outlived Elizabeth II." https://t.co/N17JYlG00I

For the avoidance of doubt, I refuse. Archbishop will ask millions to pledge allegiance to their King

"If Lineker had a history of right-wing pronouncements and had invoked 1930s Germany to criticise lockdown. those currently attacking him would be defending his right to free speech."

Don't you just love this? A novelist cannot imagine what it's like to be me, but a random Asian person can. Yep.

My @SkyNews interview exposing Braverman’s lies is approaching 2 million views.

@DisquietPessoa Yes. This is exactly why I have spent half a lifetime as an implacable opponent of human rightsism, and written endlessly on the subject.

“The French should be willing to stump up their own cash to prevent people travelling through France up to their northern coastline to try and illegally enter the UK." Someone send this man International Relations for Dummies asap.

My initial review of Biggar’s ‘Coloniaism’ now published. It won’t get the attention of reviews from his friends in the right wing press but please disseminate as widely as possible? @Sathnam @kenanmalik @DalrympleWill https://t.co/IGFKfQOrps

A jaw-dropper from Brexiter Steve Baker on @BBCRadio4’s PM just now: “What an extraordinary opportunity for Northern Ireland: dual access to both markets”.

Er, that “extraordinary opportunity” was available to the entire UK before Brexit

[Edwin Hayward @edwinhayward]

Things the BBC News website hasn't reported...

1. The UK's largest tomato producer (650m/year) said part of the supply issue is definitely down to Brexit.

2. The UK's largest turnip grower has given up on growing turnips. Can't get the staff, because of Brexit.
