You know how during every Queen's speech, I complain about the Tories using the monarchy to sell their policies? And today King Charles is effectively endorsing the Northern Ireland Deal on Brexit... Can we all now agree: The political neutrality of the monarchy is bullshit!

Many congratulations to @CliveMyrieBBC presenter of the year at the RTS awards. Anyone who saw his reports from the #Covid19 frontline at the #RoyalLondonHospital would surely agree with his win. There couldn't have been a better candidate

The majority of the UK votes for more progressive parties, so an electoral pact based on delivering PR WILL remove the Tories from power. So any damage that the Tories do to the UK after 2024, is on @Keir_Starmer.
