From WNBR London #wnbrlondon yesterday. On the ride I got called "Long John Silver", "The Silver Streak" and the "Grey Man" but my favourite heckle came from four tipsy women when one yelled "It's a silver skeleton! You want to have a good dinner when you get where you're going!"
I have supported Boris Johnson for 15 years, for the London Mayoralty and for PM. Very sadly, I have written to him to say I can no longer do so, for the reasons set out below.
Our corrupt, mocking, self-serving, compassionless government.
If this is how the country's run in lockdowns, there can scarcely be a moment's sobriety at other times...
Meanwhile in Afghanistan... tens of thousands seeking refuge; five million children facing famine; 500% increase in child marriages; children being sold to feed families... Not a mention of it.
My god, they must be wondering what makes their humanitarian crisis so unimportant.
Thread:
Given [Putin’s campaign of espionage and infiltration, designed to cause destruction to Britain’s prestige and international effectiveness, why did the security services or the UK Government fail to counter it? And what was the role of Brexit?

Putin's war on Ukraine has entered its next phase, one of destruction and slaughter of civilians. It is also a part of Putin's World War, a war on the civilized world of international law, democracy, and any threat to his power, which he declared long ago. 1/13
This is a joy! I subscribed to The Jackdaw for many years, till one day I found had overwhelmingly more reading material than reading time and subscriptions had to give. Always interesting content though, and on this occasion it's me, @spiritedbodies and @tottenhamarts 🌟
Our classes get a full page mention in the latest edition of The Jackdaw.

Hugely impressive, clear, mature speech. By whatever means we find ourselves defined as we are today, inflicting war and death on a weaker neighbour can never be justified.
If you're gonna listen to any speech about #Ukraine 🇺🇦, let it be this one.
The Kenya ambassador to the UNSC perfectly explains how people across Africa understand Ukraine, and what the Kremlin's acts of aggression mean in our post-colonial world.
#WNBR naked bike riders pausing to regroup on Southwark Bridge, London in 2017. Seems incredible in retrospect that I had the temerity to be up front marshalling this lot. 😬

“Seriously I can just come out and say it? Call him a liar?” asks @JonathanPieNews, a fictional broadcast reporter created and performed by comedian Tom Walker, in a satirical video about Britain’s Prime Minister.
