@FlowerdewBob You're growing a range of lemon varieties! Which one would you recommend for growing/harvesting in a conservatory (in UK)?

@ahistoryinart I like his landscapes much more than his portraits. Do we know whether they were his preference too?

@vicderbyshire @BBCOne After avoiding putting @ZackPolanski on the show, and it becoming so obvious as to why , Zack is on the show
BUT
@bbclaurak has done a runner..
Why do we pay this charlatan over £300,000 a year?
She's done a runner because she won't get her own way

Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any government to say who those rights should and should not apply to - because if any Government can just snatch away basic human rights from any section of society when it pleases then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want

British scientists are mapping Trump’s authoritarianism.

A fantastic answer to Trump “flooding the zone” with lawless behaviour.

It’s a one-stop-shop for logging the lot. And the meta-analysis is darkly enlightening….

@Oxonlibraries When are you going to install a printer driver for the A3 colour printer in your Central library (Westgate)? I was assured months ago that you were sorting this out, having overlooked it when the new computers were installed.

This is what happens when you outsource your policy programme to the Tony Blair Institute, corporates & tech billionaires.

Any trade unions, civil society orgs and campaign groups opposing this dystopian mess - count me in.

.@IanDunt sounds surprised that the genuinely progressive voices right now are "the leader of the Green Party & the FT".

He shouldn't be. Both @TheGreenParty & the FT have a strong record of favouring the truth over empty rhetoric & lies. These days, that counts as progressive.

"Zack Polanski and George Monbiot are both word perfect in assessing not only the danger posed by Nigel Farage and the failure of Keir Starmer to address Britain’s systemic problems, but in providing a vision that offers real change."

CNN correspondent Isobel Yeung grilled 'Lord' Walney, who advised the government to ban Palestine Action, on his ties to pro-Israel lobby groups.

The biggest mass defiance of the ban is yet to come. Sign up to join us in October: https://t.co/xHyNnPtPT9

@EpsonUK How can I get a printer driver for an Epson scanner V39 that works for a Chromebook using Chrome-OS?

@YouGov Why was the spoken message accompanying the alarm read out by someone with an American accent?

@AnnelieseDodds, you voted for this. Any regrets?

@TheOxfordMail Why wait til today (7th Sept) to publicise a ticket offer which expired in 31st August, @TheOxfordMail ?

Why does it take US politicians to hold Farage to account, while our journos just cringe and subserve?

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Jamie Raskin, "They only want to protect free speech that they agree with"

JR then demolishes Farage, ending with

"You might want to think twice before you let Nigel Farage Make Britain Great Again"

[Solomon Hughes @SolHughesWriter]

Tom Watson, former Labour Deputy leader, now works for Palantir, Flutter (gambling giant ) and Lodestone (corporate lobbyists for hire) - the takeover here is not the Greens being "taken over" by members wanting to move left, it's Labour being taken over by big business

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

This is brilliant.

[Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D @RVAwonk]

holy crap. Arron Banks' Leave EU campaign paid for Facebook ads aimed at attracting far-right extremists... and BBC had the story but dropped it.
