Spoke on @AJEnglish last night on the internet suspensions in India in light of the Anti-citizenship bill protests and how this may(not) impact the ongoing movement. Thank you @MGoodenJones @LaurenTaylorAJE #india #rejectcab

My wife (Beth) just made a brilliant characterisation of Boris: “I think he’s politically bipolar”, eg. A cosmopolitan and a nationalist, a social conservative and a liberal, public spending and a free marketeer. Genius!

Usman Khan was sentenced for serious terror offence in Feb 2012. Thought to be so dangerous by judge he was given IPP sentence to prevent release if still serious threat. Instead he was released 6 yrs later without Parole Board assessment. How cd this be allowed to happen? ...1

Angry (and excellent) piece ⁦@MarinaHyde⁩, eg. on Boris’s multiple children: “What is regarded as ...evidence of unforgivable moral turpitude in working-class people is regarded as ...excusable and even glamorously rakish in chaps like Boris Johnson” theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Nursery-age children come out with the darnedest things - just wait until one asks Johnson about his own ‘five or six’ kids, says Marina Hyde

This government lobbied me personally to reduce waste targets saying the EU’s proposals on recycling were “too ambitious.” The EU sets *minimum* targets which member states can always go further on but the Tories weren’t prepared to meet even these.

Hot on the heels of Farage, Johnson now gets the endorsement of... “Tommy Robinson”. A dark future awaits us if there is a majority Johnson government. Reactionary, nationalist, anti-immigrant, regressive on equality, isolationist, intolerant and indifferent to the powerless.

John Bercow: “If you ask me honestly do I think Brexit is good for our global standing, the honest answer is no, I don't. I think Brexit is the biggest foreign policy mistake in the post-war period."

Given Johnson was prepared to abandon Northern Ireland unionists to get a Brexit deal by his self imposed October 2019 deadline, what would he be prepared to abandon for a self imposed Dec 2020 FTA deadline? The car industry? Farmers? The north of England?

Surprisingly both Johnson and Farage are right about the Brexit deal (and impact on a US deal) – Johnson that in theory it doesn’t prevent a US trade deal, Farage that in practice it probably does. This is the Brexit debate to come if the Conservatives win… 1/ thread

Wow. Extraordinary interview with Conservative MP Dominic Grieve on report Boris Johnson has blocked on Russian interference. ‘What Number 10 has said is not true. It’s a lie’

Dominic Grieve accuses Number 10 of telling "whopping untruths"

The prime minister promised our NHS would be off the table in trade talks with US So why have there been 6 secret meetings with US drug companies? He is putting the NHS up for sale. He cannot be trusted #HandsOffOurNHS

There's lots of analysis of UK politics, but too much is missing fundamental points. 1 - This PM inherited a Parliamentary majority and lost it by expelling a large number of his own MPs and his confidence and supply partners, the DUP.
