UK government is trying to gnaw on the foundations of #democracy: free press, human rights, freedom to protest peacefully, independent judiciary and transparency. #Resistance2020
I've just received and vigorously declined an invitation to write a 'culinary guide' to Saudi Arabia, fully funded by the Saudi govt. It's a murderous, homophobic, misogynistic regime. I've been shocked by the willingness of various hospitality businesses to take their money 1/
The level of ignorance among media / political commentators about the early release of prisoners is grossly irresponsible. Every prisoner is released on license under the supervision of the probation service & subject to recall if suspected of further offending. The Govt had no option given the crisis in the prison service. And for the record those of us who work in the criminal justice system have warned about the crisis for years.
You should be ashamed of being part of the #Leave campaign that lied to the British people. You promised an extra £350 million a week for our #NHS - it’s on its knees. You promised we’d be better off - we’re worse off. You promised to cut immigration - it’s gone up. You lied then & you’re lying now.

A Trump supporter was seated next to an older woman on an airplane and he turned to her and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”
The old woman, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger:
“What would you want to talk about?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” said the man. “How about how they stole the election in 2020 and Donald Trump should be president.”
“Okay,” she said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?”
The man, visibly surprised by the old woman’s, thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”
To which the old woman replies, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss politics, when you don’t know shit?”
