I know there’s a lot of news around today - and a lot of sports news - but this is one of the greatest achievements by a British athlete, ever. I’m so happy he’s done it.

So Rishi Sunak claims not to know about this in order to dodge questions, as did Jeremy Hunt. Just copying them in here (as well as having emailed and posted it to the PM) @RishiSunak @Jeremy_Hunt please share so they cannot pretend to claim they don't know.

It will never not be mad to me that working “extensively and intensively” to improve the Rwandan asylum system is genuinely presented as a better option than making our OWN asylum system functional.

DON’T BELIEVE THIS GOVERNMENT when it says we are powerless to stop it ignoring the courts, disapplying human rights laws & legislating barefaced lies

WE CAN STOP IT!
Now is the time for Labour, Liberal Democrats, SNP & Conservative peers of conscience to UNITE

RT if you agree

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

🚨LET’S BE CLEAR. The Prime Minister just said he plans to introduce emergency legislation to disapply human rights laws & has actually threatened to join Russia & Belarus outside of the European convention on human rights.

THE COUNTRY SHOULD BE IN UPROAR!

Please share this video & report (in thread).

It’s a fascinating piece of work. Let’s make sure it’s widely seen. 👇👇

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Liz Truss, a failed PM, wants to cut minimum wage, paid holidays & redundancy cash.

Tories won't stop until workers are totally enslaved, sick, disabled and elderly abandoned.

All to increase wealth of the richest.

Tories have no empathy for normal folk

Steve Barclay is the new Environment Secretary.

His wife is an executive at Anglian Water which has not plugged leaks, dumps sewage in rivers and built no new reservoirs and been fined.

Anyone notice conflict of interests?

What could go wrong?

I’m glad that she is proud of her achievements with the criminal justice system. Fairness requires pointing out that those achievements are non-existent.

There has never been a better time to be a criminal than under this government.

[David @MnsrMysterioso]

Anyone else noticed that the media only care about the national debt when we have a Labour government?
The Tories have run it up to an appalling £2.6 TRILLION - and climbing. The service costs alone are crippling the economy

"I believe in public service", says man who abandoned his constituents as soon as he lost the referendum and then earned millions of pounds lobbying his former colleagues in Government on behalf of a global finance firm

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Tory donor hands £71k to the party, gets £11.5m contract to supply temporary classrooms to RAAC-hit schools.

Huge pay-off, just like PPE, test & trace and other contracts.

To get rich in the UK, all you need to do is to hand money to political parties.

I’m often asked about/criticised over posting pics on my upright bike without wearing a helmet. This piece explains why it’s a much more nuanced debate than most people take the time for. If you’re interested, please do read in full. Thanks @rouleur for the space to explore.

"Israelis marked a month since Hamas killed 1,400 people and kidnapped 240, starting a war in which 10,300 Palestinians are said to have died."

Nothing at all biased about this description in today's London @thetimes: complete neutral like the rest of their coverage. That's the trouble with Palestinians, isn't it, they just die? No one has to kill them. You just advert your gaze, lose all your journalistic integrity, humanity and compassion... and what do you know? Suddenly over ten thousand Palestinians are dead for no reason at all.

[Chris Doyle @Doylech]

Correction: The Israeli army is continuing to prevent entry of most humanitarian aid into Gaza which used to be 500 trucks a day, should have been 15,000 trucks since 7 October not 665, and now only accounts for a minuscule amount of the need. The Israeli army continues to bomb civilian infrastructure in Gaza such as bakeries, water and power infrastructure that could help address the humanitarian catastrophe

@SuellaBraverman The individuals giving offence to millions of decent British people are the likes of you and Sunak.

[Phil Sturgeon @philsturgeon]

I’ve been fucking begging everyone to wake up and get angry about road building instead of moaning about a few miles of electric train, but maybe now that’s been binned off we can all join the fight? Cancel this road. @StopRIS2 @RoadsXR

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Excellent graph below shows Corporate profiteering is out of control; increases cost of living.

Worker's share of GDP has been eroded and handed to capital.

Govt cuts real wages; does nothing to control profiteering, exec pay, dividends; or break-up monopolies
👎👎👎👎

[Dan Cohen @dancohen3000]

Zionist forces brutally assault Orthodox Jews in the streets of Jerusalem for opposing genocide in Gaza. Haven’t seen this kind of state violence against Jews since Nazi Germany. Images like this destroy the myth that the State of Israel is Jewish.
