@patrickch_ Your silence was deafening regarding retirement well wishes for the big man.

[Liberty @libertyhq]

Gov shoved new amendments into #PolicingBill at the last moment to avoid scrutiny.

It didn't work out.

Locking on offences🗑
Obstructing major transport works🗑
Interference w/ key infrastructure🗑
Stop and search🗑
Protest banning orders🗑

What a night. Power to the people

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

The Tories’ war on the right to protest is turning Britain into a police state cosplaying as a democracy.

This is extraordinary.

Confirmation bias in action. You wonder how political views this entrenched can ever change. Happy Friday!!

[YouGov @YouGov]

Do Britons think Boris Johnson said the controversial “let the bodies pile high” comment?

ALL BRITONS:
Probably did - 50%
Probably didn’t - 26%

CON VOTERS:
Probably did - 29%
Probably didn’t - 47%

LAB VOTERS:
Probably did - 80%
Probably didn’t - 9%

It’s 5 days till spring, Gardeners World starts Friday and I’ve just planted a bunch of seeds - we are so close to being out of winter and I couldn’t be anymore ready 🥺😍☀️🌱

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

Police & Crime Bill allows for:-

• Gypsy & Traveller vehicles to be seized;
• 3 months jail or £2.5k fine for a nomadic life without a travellers passport;
• Banning of “disruptive” protests;
• Up to 10 years jail for damage to a statue;

Dangerous, totalitarian legislation.

The power of a good TV ad. Yes @Robertc1970.

And that MacMillan ad. Fucking hell. The music alone.

History won't remember it but the real tragedy of 2020 was that @JeansAndSheux stopped tweeting.

[Ben Allan @ballon92]

My favourite DJ of 2020 was Paramida. In a near club-less year, her Rinse show and RA mix provided living room salvation. She’ll continue to do a lot of damage in habitable areas in 2021 no doubt. Killer.

This EU document could be called “Pour décourager les autres”.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Heroes, they said.
Medals, they said.
Angels, they said.
A minute's silence, they said.

The reality?

They can find countless billions to line the pockets of their mates - yet not the fraction of this needed to award NHS nurses a pay rise.

For shame.

To clarify: thanks to the UK-Japan trade deal, soya sauce will be cheaper than it otherwise would be under WTO terms, on which we would be trading with Japan from 1 Jan if we had not secured the UK-Japan trade deal.

[Dept. for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade @biztradegovuk]

The bakers used a lot of soya sauce in the first challenge on #GBBO, so it's a good thing it will be made cheaper thanks to our trade deal with Japan 🇯🇵

[Megan Townsend @mmtowns]

Js it would be a really great time round about now for all the brands that love to use the festivals/nightlife industry to legitimise themselves to help pressure the government to give more support
