This is one of the most entertaining pod conversations I’ve had in ages, as @flashboy walks me through the history of politicians believing batshit things. Listen.

Today, a mother-of-three has been jailed for 28 months after using abortion pills to end her own pregnancy. No woman can ever go through this again. We need abortion law reform in Great Britain NOW. #TimeToAct
BPAS@BPAS196811 Jun 2023
Tomorrow, a woman in England will be sentenced for ending her own pregnancy. The maximum sentence she could receive is up to life imprisonment - the harshest penalty in the world. We need abortion law reform now. Report from @HannahAlOthman in today’s @thetimes

A reminder that any sanctions recommended by the Privileges Committee would, of course, be put to a vote of the whole House of Commons, who would be free to accept, reject, or seek to amend them

Replying to @Steven_Swinford
Boris Johnson on Privileges Committee: 'It is very sad to be leaving parliament - at least for now - but above all I am bewildered and appalled that I can be forced out, anti-democratically, by a committee chaired and managed, by Harriet Harman, with such egregious bias'

Enjoyed seeing @flashboy and @JonnElledge chat about their book at @NerdNiteLondon and it convinced me to buy it, especially when I realised they're both reading the audiobook amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASI…

I can't believe Naomi Klein had to write a whole book about not being Naomi Wolf, what a time to be alive.

What if you woke up one morning and found you’d acquired a double? Deftly following online threads, Doppelganger is the astounding new work from @NaomiAKlein tracking the extreme views of a woman she's frequently mistaken for. Signed Edition: bit.ly/45kvcQy
