Delighted to attend the #Coronation cocktail organised by the British Community Committee, which brings together over 100 British charities and associations across France, partnering with @UKinFrance to support vulnerable 🇬🇧 nationals.
Keep up all the amazing work you do! 🇬🇧🇫🇷
I see @afneil, publisher of the rabidly right-wing, pro-Brexit Spectator, is wondering in the rabidly right-wing, pro-Brexit Daily Mail why the latest rabidly right-wing, pro-Brexit government is such an almighty disaster… 🤔
Britain's Conservative Party is now completely adrift from the realignment. For six years, I and others have been showing why the sweet spot for the post-Brexit Conservatives is to lean left on economics and right on culture. Look where they are now ...

Over a third of his own administration resigned in disgust at his character & conduct. He was propelled to power by bare-faced lies & kept there by sycophancy & shameless self-interest. His legacy is a country on its knees. I’m not sure ‘consequential’ is *quite* the right word.
Fascinating insight into a slice of Tory member - pro-Boris, pro-Brexit, anti-Sunak but also in favour of higher taxes, immediate cash support to the poorest, paid for by the wealthier and not making promises which can’t be delivered. And yet voting Truss…@RestIsPolitics
Since this incident I have heard from producers, camera crews and engineers about the escalating abuse they face simply for bringing you the news. It is fuelled by lies about our journalism designed to make money and to avoid scrutiny. It is unacceptable in a civilised society.
If you’re born a male, and go through puberty as male, your body develops natural physical advantages over a woman’s. That makes you stronger and faster.

“My business in Bristol is about holding the city together and tackling racism. Whatever happened to the individuals who pulled the statue down has very little to do with the drive to tackle race and class inequality in the city." Reality from Marvin Rees https://t.co/3zXlDU2dlL
I was actually at the BBC at this time, having arrived at 9.50pm to do appear on the election result programme. Not only is it untrue but it is also, as it happens, totally unbelievable.
So I read this morning what many of us have suspected is proven to be true. There is a direct correlation between voting for Brexit and educational achievement. Broadly explained as, the less intelligent you are, the more likely you voted for Brexit.
Deliberately & deceitfully removing the bits that would allow people to arrive at a properly informed opinion about what is actually happening is, when you think about it, Brexit in a bloody nutshell.
This will sound snide, Dan, but I promise it isn't. If the cards had fallen differently I think, as someone with no family money who only ever wanted to be a journalist, I could've ended up peddling the shit you do. So fair play & good luck but I won't be engaging with you again.
Boarding @airfrance flight … cabin crew at door politely telling all passengers as they arrive they have to wear mask including over nose, and giving new masks to those who need. It’s really not that hard. It’s really not a big imposition. In other news 🇬🇧 world leading in 1/2
For decades I have voted and spoken against capital punishment, arguing that if just ONE innocent person is executed the law HAD to be wrong. When, by removing safeguards, and legalising assisted suicide, just ONE vulnerable person loses their life that, too, has to be wrong.
