Wordy Virdee. Turned out 140 characters wasn’t an issue ... the caveat...my views with some borrowed from others thrown in for good measure. *personal account*

President-elect Donald Trump has picked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be his next Department of Health and Human Services secretary. Kennedy, a prominent anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist, has accepted. https://t.co/GYaVudFj5Y

@KattyKay_ @Scaramucci It’s an excellent listen - have just finished it! 👏👏👏

A retired General just made the point that Donald Trump is currently ineligible to be volunteer for the Army because he is a convicted felon. But he wants to be our Commander in Chief.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

He's so close to getting it. So close.

@Number10cat @danwootton 👏👏👏👏👏

@BarackObama @KamalaHQ No it doesn’t. Why does the right to bear arms come before the right not be killed/injured in school or anywhere?

[Sharan Virdee @virdawg]

❤️❤️❤️ lovely to see you all, celebrate our work and congratulations to all the winners! Glad to see you managed to get the phrase in there @nnriaz 😂

[Dr Nighet Riaz 🌍 @nnriaz]

A huge thank you to @sameegroup for recognising and appreciating the contributions of the @AdvanceHE steering group which led the impactful work on anti-racism, commissioned by @ScotFundCouncil. Thank you for bringing some of the band back together @virdawg @M0nica_Medina

I am embarrassed to admit how many times I’ve watched this remix.

I returned from holiday to find parts of Britain on fire. Violence fuelled and fanned by racist troll farms, and the likes of Farage Fox and Robinson. Who handed them the matches? The previous government. Braveman, Boris, et al. The fish rots from the head.

@Tosh_Warwick @BoroLibraries @wearembro @HE_NorthEast @HistoricEngland @CILIPinfo @BBCTees @AndyMcDonaldMP @libsconnected Just devastating. I remember studying in that library when I was getting to understand individual learning. It makes me so angry and ashamed. I feel embarrassed that I am from the same town as some of those people.

@Boro hope you’ve seen the footage of folk wearing boro shirts taking part in racially motivated violence. Make a comment and take a stand #Middlesbrough #RiotsUK

[Sharan Virdee @virdawg]

This fury should be felt by every decent person. Never again should we hear someone say ‘now’s not the time’ when it comes to dealing with racism. This country needs to stop giving way to fragile whataboutery because this is what happens #RiotsUK

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

I utterly condemn the far-right thuggery we have seen this weekend.

Be in no doubt: those who have participated in this violence will face the full force of the law.

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

Free legal advice:

You don’t have to attend a riot to be prosecuted for conspiracy to riot. You don’t have to be present at a terrorist incident to be guilty of encouraging it.

A lot of Twitter warriors will be getting some unpleasant knocks on the door over the coming weeks.

Stay woke.

Liz Truss stood on a platform with Steve. Bannon a few months ago, and nodded along as he praised Tommy Robinson.

Good riddance to one of the worst elected politicians of our lifetime.
