Police stopped Dawn Butler for a ‘Yorkshire number plate’ but Dominic Cummings took his kids on a potentially blind joyride and a 260 mile trip during lockdown and he held a press conference about why that’s okay

Get back to work, buy your lunches. Sit beside your colleagues for 8 hours - but don’t bring them over to your garden. But do go to the pub with your family, and whatever strangers are there.

Work and spend. That’s what the medical advice says.

I’m up thinking about the time a female writer in the writers room cracked a joke, and I tagged it. The other writers laughed, except for this one guy who didn’t bother to look up from his laptop to acknowledge it. By the time I got home, he had tweeted our joke as his own.

Fun fact: a little while ago I was working on a project with NPR and it had to be dropped because according to their policy I self identified as a disability activist which makes me inherently “biased.”

Truly staggering - Met carried out 21,950 searches on young black men in London in 3mths.

That's equivalent to nearly 1 in 3 blacks aged 15 to 24 (though some were searched more than once).

I first campaigned on this issue in 1981. We're going backwards.

Let’s not be fooled by the Government blaming care homes.

It’s a test. They’re testing the reaction, analysing public mood. They’re seeing if they can get away with it.

Similarly, they’ve tried to blame the NHS for hospital deaths and PPE.

Don’t let them get away with it!

I am in bits, I am in awe, I am utterly destroyed. Who is the destroyer, @e_alexjung or I?
Frighteningly masterful in its construction, he deserves every award the world offers for this piece, and for the time (14 hours) he spent listening to me talk. Thank you, Alex.

So just to check: sitting in a room with people is not safe until there’s a card reader

[Hasan Patel @CorbynistaTeen]

After 10 weeks of clapping for the NHS, the Tories have quietly announced they are terminating student nurse contracts out of the blue, after paying them for only one month of Covid-19 work, leaving them without income. Why is no one talking about this?

[Dotty @TheDottyShow]

Tulisa is an example of what happens when we don’t interrogate our subconscious. I think she genuinely thinks her attitudes weren’t routed in racism. She doesn’t realise how white supremacy has quietly infiltrated her belief system and used her as a foot soldier of oppression.

[yassna @dunefiIm]

the term “3rd world” has been redefined to mean “impoverished”. but african, asian, & latin countries weren’t impoverished to begin with. they were stripped of their beauty, riches, & culture when their resources were taken away from them through colonialism

[sarah lugor! @sarahlugor]

She was only 19. She deserved to be listened to, she deserved to be cared for, she deserved way more than what she got. Rest in Peace Oluwatoyin Salau.

[Hasan Patel @CorbynistaTeen]

Matt Hancock just said “do not attend any demonstrations” because we’re in a “public health crisis” but why didn’t I hear this for the VE Day street parties doing the Conga or thousands filling up beaches on the weekends... can we keep the energy consistent?
