I share people’s disgust at this but not their surprise. It seems a fairly obvious consequence of weapons grade ‘free market’ ideology where employment rights, human rights & collective bargaining have been completely demonised by the right-wing press.
R4: ‘when Boris Johnson says we can turn the tide in 12 weeeks, does he mean that we will be past the peak?’
Matt Hancock: ‘yes’
Realise what this means. This is Imperial’s modelling. The sooner we ‘turn the tide’, the more people will die
Donald Tusk is a carpenter's son from Poland. He grew up with gun battles on his street, ran with anti-communist gangs, was imprisoned by the Soviets and helped win Poland’s autonomy.
He has precisely zero fucks to give about Brexiteer Tories accusing him of “lacking manners.”
REPORTER: Mr. President, what are you most thankful for?
TRUMP: "For having a great family & for having made a tremendous difference in this country. I've made a tremendous difference. This country is so much stronger now than it was when I took office"

Did @theresa_may block an investigation into @Arron_banks by the intelligence services?? Shocking claims in @DailyMailUK this morning backing up allegations reported by @tom_watson at Labour conference. Surely she must make public statement now??

More rewriting of history by Brexiters - Maastricht was a great deal for UK. Not in single currency, not in social chapter, but in single market. It really was cake and eat it. We will be far worse off in short term after #Brexit
