It's times like this that the deeply undemocratic nature of the British state is clear for all to see.
The real reason the Tories lost patience with Boris Johnson is because he’s become a liability to their primary duty – protecting the interests of the super rich & speculators.
We're at a critical moment. As food prices rise, people suffer, the planet is depleted; our rights & democracy are being eroded.
To change course will take millions of us, along the way we must become unignorable.
Will you help create the change?
Will you join us 10/9/22?
"Big up those guys. I love that people are fighting for the planet and we need more people like them."
Lewis Hamilton after #JustStopOil disrupted the #BritishGP.
"People obviously need to speak out & (protest) wherever they want because it’s a right" Sainz Jr who won the GP.
Today the Govt published it's bill to abolish the Human Rights Act.
They've already come for our trade union rights, our right to vote, and our right to protest. Now they've come for our human rights.
If we were playing authoritarian bingo, we'd have a full house.
🚨 URGENT WARNING 🚨
Hidden in the new Public Order Bill are plans to put innocent campaigners on ELECTRONIC ANKLE TAGS.
💪ACTION ALERT: We've set up a petition to remove these disturbing & anti-democratic powers from the Bill.

If all votes had counted equally in the 2019 election:
🔻We wouldn't have lost the right to protest loudly
🔻Our citizenship couldn't be removed without notice
🔻We'd still be in the EU
🔻We wouldn't be sending refugees to Rwanda
🔻The UK Parliament would reflect the UK people
Our fragile planet is hanging by a thread.
Every fraction of a degree warming matters.
We need maximum ambition – from all countries on all fronts – to keep the 1.5 degree warming goal of the #ParisAgreeement alive.
It's time to go into emergency mode.
IPPC report says that countries like the UK must have emissions go down by at least 80 percent in 2030 for the world to follow the Paris Agreement. If you go to jail for 10 years for being a "public nuisance" at a march, the unstoppable domino reaction will already be set off.
@pritipatel Yes, but some of them are second generation immigrants and don't like you, so they can say goodbye to their citizenship and hello to Rwanda!!
The UK Government has just approved a new gas field owned by Shell

@uk_sons Look at the size of that swing. The disproportionality of the Commons has an enormous effect.
So it isn't surprising that for ~70% of votes in the HoC, opposition MPs represent more people.
What is surprising is that people aren't furious about this 😡🤬
