How many of you know what Cruella Braverman's Public Order Bill contains?
It's frankly unbelievable: legislation you might expect in Russia, Iran or Egypt. Here's a summary from my column today:

this came to me in a dream

This is hugely significant - Govt has massively under-estimated opposition to its environmental vandalism - and this is just the start👇

1/6 When I stumbled upon the carcass of a harbour porpoise on an #IsleofWight beach two years ago, I decided to investigate. How did it die? Who was supposed to remove it? Did anyone care? This is the product of my two-year quest for answers. https://t.co/UuzxUh0pZW

When Huw Edwards gets home, do you reckon he can't stop narrating. "The fridge there, of course... a great thing for keeping liquid cold, as it has done for many years. The milk, a favourite of her late majesty, now... into my tea. A real atmosphere in the kitchen here tonight."

Queuing to see the Queen lying in state would have made for an EXCEPTIONAL Outnumbered episode

🔺EXCLUSIVE: In return for a £250,000 donation to the Conservatives, multimillionaires are being ushered into the heart of government as part of a secret ‘advisory board’

Why is the NHS past breaking point?

I wish I could bring you good news. I wish I could tell you as the peak of Omicron passes🤞we are regaining the capacity to treat the millions waiting for urgent and routine care. But, honestly, it has never been as bad as this.

Why?

Free testing & supported isolation planned to end. If you get #LongCovid & you’re not hospitalised in the acute phase or high-risk u won’t have a test to prove infection. This is likely to affect your care & employment rights if off-sick. Back to square 1.

Once you realise Number 10 were all drunk all of the time, 2020 starts to make more sense

@katieamevans Aw hope you feel ok and get better soon! ✨

Does he not realise he’s not meant to say that part out loud?

[Ian Lavery @IanLaveryMP]

Boris Johnson tonight on the BBC "I've given you the most important metric which is, never mind life expectancy, never mind cancer outcomes, look at wage growth."

I beg to differ! Ghastly appalling disregard for our people.

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

I’m so fucking sick of the Met advising *women* what to do to fix their institutional misogyny. How about *you* address your hiring practices and culture that sees violent men repeatedly join your ranks, and many others turn a blind eye.

[Making Herstory @MakeHerstory1]

Our inboxes are flooded this morning with the same heartbreaking question: "What do I advise women to do if they're approached by a lone, male @metpoliceuk officer?" Our answer, in memory of #SarahEverard is:

Throughout this pandemic, children have been deemed robust enough to cope with potentially multiple Covid infections over a year - placed in enclosed spaces with little to no mitigations. But, simultaneously, deemed too “fragile” to have the vaccine if they wish to. Which is it?

[Dr. Deepti Gurdasani @dgurdasani1]

Entirely predictable consequence of not vaccinating adolescents over the summer, and then sending them to schools having removed almost all mitigations.

[Torsten Bell @TorstenBell]

Right - some facts in the "just do another few hours work to make up for losing £20/week" nonsense
