“Wish I’d said that ...” tea addict, like to be by the sea - need light. Brexit was never the answer. #WearAMask #SocialDistance #Ventilate #MakeVotesMatter

A suggestion for the White House press corps: when Trump personally attacks your colleagues, don’t simply ask the next question and pretend nothing has happened. Call him out, or collectively bring the press availability to an end.

It took just ten years. But the taboo has been finally broken now. 👇

Polite reminder. Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage.

Great move. 👇

This Burnham campaign video deserves a retweet (and many more). Take a look at the vast (shady) money and professional media operation behind Reform. It’s going to be an existential battle.Wherever you stand on the Labour leadership, this seat must be won.

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve_news. We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

[Will Hutton @williamnhutton]

This is a brilliant investigative piece on Farage, the dark millions behind him and the double standards of so much British journalism. Read and retweet! Nigel Farage pocketing £5m from a donor shows he’s unfit for power https://t.co/zHuVfDV8dh

[Tim Walker @ThatTimWalker]

Good for the Obsever for leading on this.

[Nick Bryant @NickBryantNY]

News organisations need to be unflinching in their use of strong language to describe Trump. Too often we have normalised the abnormal. Mea culpa. I did it myself at the BBC and often came up against institutional timidity. My weekend read.

Genuinely do not understand how this is not a bigger story in the US.

[Annette Dittert  @annettedittert]

Impressive. Read the whole thing. 👇

🏮REVEALED: Peter Thiel’s spyware firm Palantir have over £630m in UK Government contracts. They’re laced through the NHS, the Home Office, and the military: including our nuclear weapons.

Urgent message.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Rotten corruption.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Please read the piece with comments from tech & national security experts.

We have no national security while we rely on highly political US Silicon Valley firms that are enmeshed in Trump’s increasing fascistic administration.

Today is the tipping point.

The “would-be assassin” was Alex J. Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse at the Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis. No video evidence that he brandished or tried to use his gun. He held up a phone.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Carole Cadwalladr, "The United States and it's Silicon Valley allies are not our friends, they are clearly not serving the interest of peace, harmony and democracy"

"It's a small group of individuals with a bunch of vested interests who have grasped control of the US executive, and Donald Trump who is the front guy, he is now breaking rule of law on a daily basis"

"There is still this hesitancy amongst mainstream news organisation, politicians, to name these things clearly"

"It's important that we are clear about what we are seeing and naming it"

Zack Polanski, "I think that's really well put.. And I'm worried that Keir Starmer has tied his foreign policy to the US and to Donald Trump, and that's been problematic for lots of reasons"

"We saw someone murdered on the streets - Renee Good - and Keir Starmer has not condemned that"

Carole Cadwalladr, "You can understand the reasons how they got themselves into this bind of sucking up to Trump and not p*ssing him off"

"But at the same time it is deeply dangerous to have a Prime Minister who cannot say black is black and white is white, and international law is international law, and this is clearly in breach of it"

"Labour is in a state of denial, it will not say those words, that I do find it really alarming"
