I’ve just signed the open letter telling @USAmbUK, @USTradeRep and @realDonaldTrump that I don’t want the NHS on the table during trade talks - because even if @10DowningStreet won’t tell them, the UK public will! Will you sign too? https://t.co/LPbqbmT4cy #HandsOffOurNHS

George Orwell’s 1984 was used to describe a dystopian universe in which all opposition to the government was crushed by extreme measures.

Today, the government’s opponents are being accused of Orwellian behaviour, a complete inversion of what 1984 was actually about.

The cry of "I am being silenced!", from yet another national newspaper column, for holding views which most of the British press loudly champions, is becoming deafening.

Horrifying. You start with the tiny possibility that two officers may be walking over to deescalate the abusive one.

Instead, they join in beating a man trying to get out of traffic.

This isn’t a problem of bad apples or incidents. This is an institutional and systemic crisis.

This letter from @lisanandy to the Foreign Secretary about #HongKong sends a very clear message: the behaviour of the authorities in Beijing and HK is unacceptable, and the UK govt must now push back. General expressions of outrage are worthless unless backed by specific actions.

Those of us who live close to Manston are obsessed by it too. To some, the proposed cargo hub is a link to the past and a route to much-needed economic salvation. To others, it would blight our tranquil coastal area, bringing air/noise pollution, sleep deprivation and ill health.

Today the UK hit 20,000 Coronavirus deaths in hospitals alone.

We were once told 20,000 deaths would be a "good outcome". Yet it’s set to get much worse.

Some are refusing to learn the lessons and want to lift the lockdown early. We must totally oppose those pushing for that.

Fat cats using tax havens like the Cayman Islands to avoid paying their fair share has meant our services are starved of funding.
Rishi Sunak is complicit, having worked for two firms with close ties to the Cayman Islands.
Is he fit to be our Chancellor?
