Abolish the Home Office. Break it up for parts and then hold a public inquiry into how a major government department became a nest of domestic extremists. This shit is not okay xitter.cf/BellaSankey/status/133…

Just over half of UK student publications fear closure within a year as universities cut funding amid Covid-19 pressures, according to study from @SPAJournalism. "This will leave the future generations of our industry without a space to hone their skills" bit.ly/2UWGZ4g
Predictive policing tools work really well: they perfectly predict what the police will do. Specifically, they predict whom the police will accuse of crimes, and since only accused people are convicted, they predict who will be convicted, too. 1/

Regulations bad, freedom of movement good. Got ya. Wait, except if the movement is by foreigners, in which case regulations good, freedom of movement bad.
