I actually learned something on Twitter this morning. The #bayeuxtapestry at the @britishmuseum isn't a tapestry, it is an embroidery.

It's 100% confirmed! Humanists created new case lawπŸŽ‰ From now on, humanists can't be legally refused a say in how Religious Education is taught where they live. They should be granted membership to the councils that decide the school syllabus on RE. humanists.uk/2023/08/22/high…

Humanists see the universe as a natural phenomenon with no supernatural side, and believe that we can live ethical and fulfilling lives by looking at reason and humanity for guidance. Here's our Vice President @theAliceRoberts on the humanist approach to life. #Humanistbookshelf.

97 people died as a result of #Hillsborough Their families fought for decades for truth. They still haven’t had justice. Today the police responded to the Hillsborough report. But 5yrs after the report & 34 yrs after Hillsborough it is shameful that Government still hasn’t.

Gove is now in charge on antisocial behaviour Sunak is in charge on small boats Jenrick is in charge on asylum Tugendhat on security She’s not fixing Windrush, or Violence Against Women, and certainly not charging criminals So what does this Home Secretary actually do?

Mishal Husain (as expected) not realising that the political appointment of her boss isn't the main issue. It is that political instructions flow down as blatant bias of #r4today towards the Tories.

The current Tory idiot on #r4today is using the Manuel defence of "I know nothing" in defending Nadim Zahawi.

Nick Robinson on #r4today just used the phrase "enough already" What fresh hell in the destruction of the English language has the BBC descend into ?

There’s a very lengthy backstory to Nadhim Zahawi’s HMRC settlement, and lots of people have been asking me to summarise it. Here goes: taxpolicy.org.uk/zahawi_stor…

I want to see Brexit reversed, PR introduced, authoritarian laws repealed, end of non-dom, tax haven & tax avoidance, proper public sector pay, NHS fully funded & staffed, & government dedicated to the public good not the partisan interests of donors & self-seeking politicians.

Life is different if you don’t depend on our NHS or state schools. If you don’t need to travel by train or bus to get to work. If you swish through airports in private lounges. If you’ve never worried about losing your job, or paying the rent. Their Britain isn’t broken. Ours is.
