Ever growing list of things I adore: all things space related, Greece, ancient history, Leeds United, Tolkien, kittens, kindness and Marvel...sums me up I think
Got some nagging doubts about whether Israel can call this self defence. You’d imagine these kids’ ability to stage a counteroffensive was quite limited.
Enough!
It is just horror after horror after horror.
Remember these precious and beautiful lives. They are human beings with names and faces. And they are being indiscriminately slaughtered.
What unconscionable inhumanity. We need a ceasefire, now.
Consider everything that’s gone down in the Tory party…
Corruption
Sexual allegations
Arrests
Unlawfulness
Security leaks
Lies to parliament
…yet no sackings
But what does get you sacked?
…calling for a ceasefire.
The UN says as many as 120 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since Hamas' attack in Israel.

If I was worried about people comparing me to 1930s Germany, my next move probably wouldn't be to shut down all criticism on the national broadcasting service
@a_webb @secrettory12 There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s, and I’m out of order?

Remember that time Matt Hancock gave his mate, a pub landlord with no previous experience making medical supplies, a £30 million pound government Covid contract to produce vials for testing kits?
He just gave it to him after getting a WhatsApp.
Remember that?
Because I do.
Ooh, shall we talk “irresponsible”, @DominicRaab?
Because I wonder if our definitions differ.
Irresponsible, to me, is supporting the chronic defunding of criminal justice during your entire spell as a Parliamentarian.
And of course, there’s more. 🧵

I appreciate not everyone is a massive nerd. So I'm going to attempt to explain what just happened in parliament.
Because it is BEYOND batshit levels of foot-shooting by Team Truss. /1
So because a bunch of unelected right wing zealots trashed the economy, we’re back to austerity & all its miseries? Please RT if you want a general election now.
@campbellclaret Alastair, as a coms expert, can you explain to us why British PMs and ministers systematically dress up as Playmobil workers to speak to their country?
