It is literally unbelievable how trashed our country is because of Brexit & Johnson. Refugees shipped to Rwanda, international law broken - & not just any int'l law but the GFA, a peace deal after so much suffering & loss of life -!! What sort of people are these Tories -? Vile!

I cannot think of a single occasion in our history when the whole bench of bishops has united in this way.

[Steve Chalke @SteveChalke]

250 yrs ago we transported people to Australia because they were vulnerable enough to steal bread. Today we’ve decided to deport others to Rwanda because they are vulnerable enough to seek safety. How we choose to respond to the need of others IS the mark & judge of our humanity!

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

So a judge ruled that the Rwandan Deportations are “legal”.

• Apartheid was legal
• Force feeding suffragettes was legal
• Segregation in USA was legal
• The Vietnam War was legal
• British rule in India was legal

Just because it is deemed “legal” doesn’t make it right.

Priorities:
Get Johnson gone, & with him the gang of corrupt incompetent 'ministers' appointed only because they back him.
Get the Tories out.
Electoral reform & rejoin the SM, both as matters of urgency.
Another say on EU membership.
(Spoiler alert: Rejoin will win handsomely).

Why on earth?

No shit, Sherlock!

David Neal, chief inspector of Borders & Immigration, says he's not met the home secretary since starting job 14 months ago

Oh my days. Is there anything @NadineDorries can't get wrong? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Jessica Simor KC @JMPSimor]

The lawyer in me is very tired; nor do we need learned threads on this - a government that persists in its attempts to break international law, undermines relations between states and puts at risk the building blocks of peace. This is no time for such games. Johnson must go.

[Top News 🇺🇦 @TopNewsWorks]

BREAKING

Johnson was TOLD to publish his pro Brexit article by his Telegraph bosses, and also, if he did not back Brexit, he would lose his £275,000 salary from the Telegraph.

[Catherine Copp @CoppCatherine]

During a public health crisis - while the NHS battled tirelessly to protect the nation - our prime minister failed patients + staff. We cannot rely on Boris Johnson’s leadership any longer.

EXCL: @ITVNews has obtained pictures of Boris Johnson drinking at a No10 party during lockdown in November 2020.

The photos cast fresh doubt on the PM's repeated claims he was unaware of rule-breaking in No10 during the pandemic.

See all images here:

This is gold. Every word @Ed_Miliband said here is absolutely spot on.

Did you know the new statue in Grantham is the 2,201st monument to Margaret Thatcher in the UK? The previous 2,200 monuments are colloquially known as "food banks" x

[Tim Burgess @Tim_Burgess]

The Bank of England reporting that Brexit is costing the UK £444 million a week. Let’s just let that sink in. Maybe summat for the side of one of your model buses @BorisJohnson
