NEW: income inequality in US & UK is so wide that while the richest are very well off, the poorest have a worse standard of living than the poorest in countries like Slovenia https://t.co/gtHvhNsnuT

Maciej Zaremba om den ryggradslösa jakten på Makten. Träffsäkert. Och sorgligt.

När vi läste om nazisterna i skolan var det många som undrade ”vad hade jag gjort om jag levat då”.

Nu har ni svaret: exakt det ni gör just nu.

SVD-ledares biträdande chef Peter Wennblad tycker att "politiker borde vara lite mer respektlösa mot journalister" och att "journalister är en yrkesgrupp med uppblåsbar självbild". Jag tar tillfället i akt och tweetar om personkopplingarna mellan SvD-ledare och skolägarna. *tråd*

[Peter Wolodarski @pwolodarski]

Journalister är en yrkesgrupp som mottar mycket hot och hat i sin yrkesutövning. Journalister kan lyckas verka i diktaturer, men demokratin får svårt att fungera utan fri journalistik. Makthavare som babblar om journalistrugby undergräver oberoende journalistik.

[Negra Efendić @NegraE]

Även idag är vi på jobbet. Vi granskar, rapporterar och skildrar. De fria journalisterna är demokratins väktare och vi står pall hur mycket de än knuffar #journalistrugby

گونه جدیدی از «استعمار» در نشست خبری فیلم های سینمایی ایرانی در خارج از کشور به راه افتاده که خبرنگاران خارج از ایران همه کار میکنند تا هنرمند ایرانی مجبور به اعلام موضع علیه کشورش شود. یک حماقتِ سازمان یافته که جملات مانی حقیقی، تیرِ خلاصی بود برای این استعمار...

This is absolutely spectacular.

I’m fascinated by the idea of Truss sitting there in 2016, fully cognisant that Brexit would be awful, but realising that her party had become a place where success would depend on amplifying its lies & endorsing its nonsense. Then, in 2019, watching Johnson take those lies to a

It’s been clear forever that Johnson possesses not a single shred of decency but I am *still* sometimes shocked at the depth of his depravity. This insults all but the most meat-headed Brexit voter in Britain & almost everyone in Ukraine, where the desire to join the EU is clear.

[Matt Green @mattgreencomedy]

There's something pretty galling about being told we need to rely on people's sense of personal responsibility by someone who has none.

Warmest congratulations to Jacob Rees-Mogg, who has secured the only job so far created by #Brexit.
