it's all about politics these days - it's exhausting. I'm all for 'love the sinner, hate the sin' but the bloody Tories are really pushing their luck atm.

Welcome to Tory Britain โ where we break international law inside Parliament and arrest people for complaining about it outside Parliament.

No one wants to use the 'f' word, but when a govt refuses to fund Literature beyond a basic level, then we've pretty much arrived at the door marked "Fascism". Why? Because empathy is the enemy of fascism and literature asks us to see the world through different eyes.
'Why would an English government want to stop people studying English Literature?' Chilling indeed @mrjamesob

Like countless other criminal barristers today I will be joining in strike action. We don't want to do it. It goes against every instinct not to go to court to deal with a case. But the system is dying and the worst I've ever seen it. Good luck to all participating.

Well you couldnโt ask for a more accurate description of Brexit in one tweet. Incredibly wealthy person tells huge whopper to screw over millions of ordinary folk. #BrexitLies #LOSER
I couldnโt care less about your small personal inconvenience. Returning democracy to the U.K. is more important

We all know that the changes, proposed by Johnson, to the WA is illegal. Here's another voice - another expert - explaining why.
Back from idyll of holidaying in Perigord, I've now forced myself to catch up on UKโs Northern Ireland Protocol Bill. Short thread with some critical thoughts (few should come as any surprise, but itโs useful to add oneโs voice to the existing consensus of expert opinion):

Vote tactically to #GTTO then campaign for PR to keep them out.
To everyone complaining that Labour is moving too far to the centre/right.
The majority of the UK electorate isn't as left wing as you.
So the Labour Party you want, can't get a majority.
Your best option is Proportional Representation so a true left wing party can thrive.

So heโs not a vote winner and he didnโt get Brexit done and he hasnโt turned us into a high wage economy and he didnโt fix social care and he isnโt a low tax PM and he hasnโt made us โGlobal Britainโand heโs a liar and the buck never stops with him.
So, why is he still there?
