I know we're all supposed to be screaming at each other (& forgetting about death tolls, Barnard Castle, PPE scandals, care homes etc) but it's objectively hilarious that Brexit is essentially going to give 'control' of our 'borders' to France.
.@toryboypierce thank you for your support. Your radio show was a delight, in what has been a bleak few months for myself and 41999 others.

.@IainDale@LBC on BA's statement - screwing up the message and said, "it really isn't worth the paper it's written on." #BAbetrayal

I've always been a supporter of penal reform.
A vast sum of research shows that prison & punitive measures without rehabilitation do not lower reoffending and crime rates.
It's a well known fact that half the people that leave prison end up reoffending. #PenalReform
Unemployment doubles to 2.6m and the economy plummets 9.5% in the worst fall for 100 years before a slower than previously expected recovery - Bank of England's latest forecast. Presenting this as good news reminds me of Monty Python's Black Knight and tis but a scratch
.@IainDale on BA's statement - "You know ladies and gentlemen, that is the kind of guff that you get from a company PR department," screwing up the message from the airline Iain said, "it really isn't worth the paper it's written on."

.@IainDale thank you for highlighting the abhorrent way they have treated their staff. Let’s hope Parliament gets involved and to ensure this never happens again

Nike, Adidas, Apple and many other brands are using forced Uyghur labour in their factories to produce their products.
Do something about it: join me in signing this open letter to their CEOs:

Solidarity to British Airways staff
• 4,000 sacked
• 6,000 redundant
• 30,000 fired & rehired on worse terms
• Overwhelmingly it’s women staff & the lower paid who will bear the brunt
This is shotgun capitalism & we must all stand with those workers. Your fight is our fight
.@GavNewlandsSNP thank you for your continued support. We will never forget how much you, .@HuwMerriman .@SamTarry and countless CROSS PARTY MPs have done for us all .
What a sad day. What a #NationalDisgrace
This rather sums up my view. There is something seriously wrong with this great country when the powerful stand by whilst those who need us most at a time of crisis are betrayed. Disillusioned and disappointed doesn’t even scratch the surface of my feelings.
And here I was naively thinking the U.K. was a great place to work when I moved here 18 years ago. Never have I ever thought that contracts could just be riped and mean nothing at all. What a huge disappointment, the lack of respect this government shows to their working class.
.@HuwMerriman thank you for your continued support , rest assured it has been noted, spoken about and applauded from every rafter across the world. Shame .@BorisJohnson has proven to be the antithesis of this
#NationalDisgrace
It’s been moving, heartbreaking and deeply shocking listening to the stories of loyal staff who’ve given their all to #BritishAirways and the passengers (like me) cared for over the years. You don‘t deserve this and we will continue to give you your voice. Stay strong and united.
*NEW: You can show us all the charts you like Mr President @realDonaldTrump - but this stat is all that matters: America has 4.2% of the world's population but has suffered 22% of the world's coronavirus deaths.
You've failed your biggest test.
