@MichaelRosenYes Remembering my dad today, when he was a choir boy, he misheard the line 'I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord...' as 'I would rather be a dorkeybird in the house of the Lord...' we had fun imagining what a dorkeybird looked like!

Consider the panic of scientists over this weekend about various shocking stats. I don’t think I’ve seen one major U.K. news media outlet cover it. Even Taiwan TV has, but not @bbcnews @skynews @itvnews Politicians are still prioritising attacking protesters. Incredible.

Boris Johnson’s “landslide”?

2017 Theresa May
42.4%
13,636,624

2019 Boris Johnson
43.6%
13,966,451

Johnson added just 1.2% or 329,767 extra votes

It was WHERE he gained votes + FPTP that gave him an 80 seat “landslide”.

He wasn’t massively more popular. That’s a myth.

If you were given an honour by a man who that very day resigned from parliament in disgrace after a report by his fellow MPs would you keep it?

Dear @ElectoralCommUK,

Did you know...?

A man who was in Johnson's Cabinet when the voter ID law was introduced, has publicly admitted that this was an attempt to gerrymander the election by suppressing votes

His name is @Jacob_Rees_Mogg

We eagerly await your next steps...

As parliament debate #AccessToNature today, a personal essay.

Deep in my valley is a tree so old it makes my bones ache. There are only a handful like it in the country, and its boughs harbour some of our oldest stories.

Yet almost no-one has ever seen it. 🧵

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

Don’t want to go over the top, but this is absolutely jaw-dropping. Someone who was in the cabinet when legislation on voter ID was agreed and went through parliament acknowledges it WAS an attempt to gerrymander the elections https://t.co/onD8iPUsJO

[caroline slocock @carolineslocock]

Shocking abuse of power, not just sidestepping Parliament, but directly countering its express wishes.

[UNHCR United Kingdom @UNHCRUK]

Fact checkers @FullFact have examined claims that asylum can be applied for through UNCHR 🔽

There is no mechanism through which refugees can approach UNHCR with the intention of seeking asylum in the UK. There is no asylum visa or ‘queue’ for the UK.
