Watch the police smash in the window a man’s car after he was wrongly accused of concealing drugs.

He was driving home from a TV interview about institutional racism in the police.

Extraordinary that Hancock still gets away with claiming care homes enjoyed a 'protective ring from the start'.
Utterly untrue - does he think we’ve forgotten about lack of testing, PPE & untested discharges from hospitals? Will they never take responsibility for mistakes? #Marr

Young people are less likely to be seriously unwell, but more likely to spread.

This might be hard to hear, but It’s not about you. It’s about everyone else.

Common sense.

"If we get this down to 20,000 & below, that's a good outcome”

We know how many #COVID19 deaths Vallance claimed he believed would be a good outcome

I can now reveal how many deaths SAGE believed would represent the best & worst scenarios👇#BreakingNews

This is truly disgusting.

And by the same ridiculous, twisted logic the Holocaust would not be counted as a genocide.

Fascinating thread on anonymous outfits that spent £££ on hard Brexit ads then vanished. That’s Facebook enabling dark groups funded by dark money to operate in darkness to promote hard Brexit. Congrats @nick_clegg. You must be very proud

A reminder that #TamirRice was killed for having a toy gun, while #PatriciaMcCloskey pointed a gun at peaceful protesters with her hand ON the trigger & is still practicing law + sits on the Missouri Bar Association’s ethics panel.

Police then used pepper spray to clear the park. There were families and kids out in Aurora. It was literally just a violin vigil for Elijah.

Yesterday Aurora, Colorado was holding a violin vigil for Elijah McClain, who was known for playing his violin, especially to animals.

Then the police decided they’d seen enough.

DC police are now doing this every night when they think the cameras are gone.

Trashing food and medical supplies, hitting people in the face, using mace.

The police brutality. Has. Not. Stopped.

[💙Rachael Maskell MP @RachaelMaskell]

In answer to my question the Minister has confirmed that each glove is counted as a separate piece of PPE, so when they talk about 200 pieces of PPE, they mean a box of gloves. Just so everyone understands how little PPE was made available.

This is astonishing, illuminating journalism. Incredible to see how individual people caused devastating local outbreaks. It’s not that we’re failing to learn the lessons of history. We’re failing to learn the lessons of 3 months ago

The mother of the sisters murdered in a London park speaking now on @BBCRadio4 is INCREDIBLE - cops taking selfies by her daughters’ bodies, family having to find murder weapon. SHOCKING. She says assumptions were made about the girls because of institutional racism

Mother of murdered sisters says grief has "been taken to another place" after two officers suspended amid allegations they took selfies next to their bodies https://t.co/jKbQVOlieR

All that clapping. All those NHS badges. Performative nonsense.

[Joanna Hardy-Susskind @Joanna__Hardy]

If a restriction on jury trials is going to be seriously suggested by serious people in serious circumstances then let’s get real.

A little thread👇🏼
