Our misogynistic press must be better regulated: ‘When a man behaves badly, we turn our attention to the women around him – the one he’s “left” and the one he’s “chosen” …it’s always the woman who is demonised when a relationship implodes.’ - @nakedvix independent.co.uk/voices/mat…

Lambda variant - the first coronavirus that can be solved by mathematicians
Here is how you imagine the 150k lives lost to Covid. It’s just taken me 10 mins to walk the half kilometre length of the national @CovidMemorialUK wall, directly opposite parliament. Each heart represents one of those 150k lost, those families changed forever. Please share 💔

According to the @Telegraph "Boris Johnson has speeded up plans to curb the judiciary". We must not be fooled by claims that this is about restoring "the sovereignty of Parliament". It's about the power of Number 10 to sideline Parliament - & all other checks on its power. THREAD

Whenever talking about the British Empire, it’s important to remember that we are only discussing a highly sanitised version of it, because the records of its very worst deeds were destroyed over decades by the British government. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oper…

whyspirulina.com To wear a mask in public is not just for me, but you too. No, I don`t live in fear. I just want to be part of the solution. You? To use a mask is not weak, frightened or stupid but its respect for others. It might just save your life or a loved one.

Regarding those 128 fake #NHS Staff accounts posting for 'Herd Mentality' and support of the Govt that were set up by @DHSCgovuk or their marketing agency ... Posts were sent using Hootsuite, a mass-posting tool. Account registered to 1 person with 4 assigned contributors.

It’s important to realise that the numbers here are so high because 4 weeks ago, BoJo was talking about ‘herd immunity” and ignoring WHO advice. That’s an additional week for people to come into close contact and a 2 week incubation period, then this week; big numbers. 1/2

Very confused right now. Does gov *instruction* to stay inside now override exemptions? Pics of police stopping solo exercising, but doing nothing about distancing outside supermarkets. #coronalockdownuk

We're saddened by the passing of celebrated #HiddenFigures mathematician Katherine Johnson. Today, we celebrate her 101 years of life and honor her legacy of excellence that broke down racial and social barriers: go.nasa.gov/2SUMtN2

I wonder whether anybody will insist that they voted for this. Yet.
Michael Gove confirms full panoply of border checks will be imposed on "operational border" from Jan 2021. Tells business at even today that they are "inevitable" and warns that business better get prepared theguardian.com/politics/202…

Dear @BorisJohnson can we please see the #RussianReport anyone else want to see it?
It’s believed nine Russian business people who gave money to Conservative Party are named in report into Russian interference in UK politics suppressed by Boris Johnson before election. Let’s RT this to a million people & let him know we haven’t forgotten

I’m sorry Robert but what unsourced bollocks are you spinning now? The committee already signed it off. The non-publication is down to Boris Johnson alone. It has *nothing* to do with the committee. Your *source* is lying. If Cummings has told you he plans to publish it, say that
Apparently that famous - notorious (?) - report into Russian interference in UK that many wanted published before election will be released as soon as parliament’s Intelligence and Security Committee is up and running again. I guess that will be January

The case for urgent electoral reform was never clearer. The new government won’t want it but we must ratchet up the pressure. 👏👏👏 @carolecadwalla

It’s a choice. Accept criminality, voter fraud, dark money, data abuse. Or fuck that shit. We need: full public inquiry, total electoral reform, platform accountability. We desperately need politicians who get this. And they only will if we do.
