“No surprise” that the Rwanda scheme was found to be unlawful, yet Ms Braverman was happy to spend £140m of taxpayers’ money on it.

If there’s a need for an urgent new law, it should be aimed at recouping costs from politicians whose vanity and incompetence squander public funds

Baroness Warsi(Tory) - "Suella Braverman is dangerous & divisive... she doesn't fix things, she breaks things... & some of my colleagues, in government, project as patriot, but they're indeed arsonists... they pit community against community.. "

There are 5 people in prison for protesting with Just Stop Oil, right now. Three of them haven't had a trial.

If this was Putin's Russia, our politicians would be queuing up to condemn this on the news. But not one has spoken out. Not Labour, Green, SNP or Tory. Not one.

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

Suella Braverman is wrong.

Multiculturalism isn’t the problem.

But we know what the problem is…

#Braverman's statement is shocking.

In many countries being gay is an imprisonable offence. For some, it means the death penalty.

Jake can you lot try and do something meaningful in your last year in Parliament. You’ve undermined every public sector service yet have the nerve to still try and somehow throw stones at the opposition. You’re the most dysfunctional,inept,ineffective government we’ve ever had. You’ve taken away all our trust in parliament and degraded MP’s reputations with a whole generation. The country desperately needs a change!

Westminster is run by ex hedge fund managers, financiers and corporate consultants.

They have been bred to strip assets - to aggressively cut costs to deliver short term profits for big money shareholders.

And that’s exactly how they’ve run the country

Sit back for 3 mins and let @GavinEsler take you through the water privatisation scandal

[Afua Hirsch @afuahirsch]

Imagine the Bar Council & Law Society of England & Wales having to issue a joint statement rebuking the British government for attacking a lawyer

And cautioning that weaponising legitimate legal work for political gain is an assault on the rule of law https://t.co/KHj8rgWscn

The PPE cover-up. New evidence suggests Douglas Barrowman hid the ownership of a company that received £200m in PPE contracts and is now being investigated for fraud.

[Good Law Project @GoodLawProject]

“I thought things like this happened in authoritarian regimes. But I’m absolutely amazed that it’s happened here.”

Trudi Warner could face up to two years in prison for holding up a placard reminding juries of their rights.

Hear her story:

Immigration isn't the problem.

13 years of Conservative austerity, incompetence and corruption, is.

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

A thought...

UK banks deliberately, systemically, missold, by script, over £40bn of PPI, ripping money out of the hands of the public including many vulnerable people - no bank CEO resigned.

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

The new migration bill passed by the UK Parliament violates the country’s international human rights and refugee law obligations.

High Commissioner for Human Rights @volker_turk and I share grave concerns in this respect.

Here is our joint statement👇🏻

It's almost a year since I challenged @SouthernWater's CEO to drink a glass. 👇

Happy to extent the challenge. Anyone who claims dumped sewage is 95% rainwater, drink a glass from a CSO of my choosing and I’ll donate £1,000 to a charity of your choosing.

Thangam Debbonaire: Nadine Dorries has failed to turn up in Parliament for a year, but had time to present her own TV show & write a Daily Mail column... a lot to fit in between strops over being denied a peerage... perhaps she needs a dictionary definition of the word immediate"

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Whilst UK News shows spend all day long talking about the BBC the Government is restricting our right to protest, robbing millions of workers of their democratic right to strike & stripping back human rights. How about reporting that!
