So @michaelgove has reportedly told Tory HQ staff they must double down on the £2000 Labour tax lie because they showed with the £350bn for the NHS Brexit lie that the more a lie is talked about the better it is for the campaign. This is a level of cynicism and political amorality shocking even by their standards. But it is a consequence of the failure of politics and media to hold liars properly to account. It is the normalisation of lies thanks to Brexit and Johnson and the right wing rags that Farage thinks he can get away with the economically illiterate rubbish he produced yesterday. Vote Labour Get Labour. Give these Tories a beating they will never forget

That's embarrassing, he sets out to stop voter fraud, and ends up stopping frauds voting.

@TheBotanics thoroughly enjoying the gardens today in the spring sunshine, we noticed bees with numbers! Can anyone explain? Thanks! PS this is not a photoshopped picture!

Dear Rishi,

What were the conditions attached to such a large transfer from the public purse?

Tell me there were conditions…

This is how to solve a cost of living crisis. Invest your time and money building for the long term energy security of your country. Don't waste it shouting about scroungers and boats.

Reindeer on the move tonight — a magical scene from ice age France. Illuminated by oil fat lamps, the panel of swimming reindeer at Lascaux was drawn in black manganese crayon some 17,000 winters past 🦌🦌

Happy Christmas everyone! 🎄

Michelle Mone on #bbclaurak

I remember a year ago when I spoke to some journos about why they weren't printing material about her, and they told me they'd received threatening letters from her lawyers.
I decided to start tweeting about it anyway, and I'm glad I did.

They've lied for years, and now that DHSC is suing PPE Medpro for £122 million for unusable gowns, they've no choice because they're finally exposed.
It's only about the money & always about the money.

They profiteered while front line NHS staff suffered and people died alone.

Note 1. Doug Barrowman is also on unrelated charges of fraud in Spain.
Note 2. The UK National Crime Agency raided their homes and offices and they are under criminal investigation.

Off to bed. Just want to leave this here for the wet and one nation Tories who tomorrow will vote that Rwanda is a safe country. It's the report of the US State Department on Rwanda. Perhaps they'd like a read. Here's a highlight. Sleep tight.

Solidarity.

It took me three applications and five interviews to be able to get a visa for my 8-year old to be able to join me in the UK when I had a permanent Lectureship at UCL and I was course director of one of the leading MSc courses in the country. I had to take leave from my job here in the UK (not easy) and be back in Delhi for a month. Each visa application fee was around 1000 GBP.

This keeps happening again and again to so many of us.

@Support hi, I’m unable to view any posts from anyone I follow that are older than 24 hours. Can you explain why? This seems to be recent behaviour. Thanks Jim

[The Dalbo Dog @Dalbodog]

A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so badly off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her…. a very dangerous proposition. One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer.
They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged them, and pushed gently, thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.
The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.
May you be so fortunate to be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you.
And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude 🙏
