Before the election, publicity for the ITV broadcast of my film, The Dirty War on the NHS, was subject to an embargo at the very time that the film's theme, the sell-off of the NHS, was at the forefront of British politics. The ITV broadcast is now on Tuesday 17 Dec, at 10.45pm.

EU is cracking down very hard on tax evasion/money laundering in the EU UK is the main hub for tax evasion/money laundering on the planet That's why Brexit was suddenly backed by the Tories en mass It was never anything to do with sovereignty And will now steal you rights/NHS

blows my mind that british right-wingers act like posh people being bilingual is some amazing intellectual feat, but migrants kids being bilingual is "refusing to integrate"

This Christmas: Boris Johnson is jetting off to a private Caribbean island. Jeremy Corbyn will be helping out in a homeless shelter. Pretty much says it all.

Corbyn spent today giving out free presents to kids in his constituency and will visit a homeless shelter tomorrow. Johnson has flown out to a private Island called Mustique for Christmas. But you’re mad because Corbyn doesn’t watch the Queen’s speech?

CAN'T SHARE THIS ENOUGH --> What to do if a stranger is being harassed. I did this and it works. To have read this cartoon a while back and to have had this tool in that terrible moment was so empowering. Take a look. You will need this sooner or later.

Brexit will soon have cost the UK more than all of its payments to the EU over the last 47 years put together. Put that on a bus. businessinsider.com/brexit-will-co…

We are surrounded by politicians who act like sacked candidates from The Apprentice. Anti-intellectualism has become the new political populism. Moronitude has become almost fashionable. We need to rediscover the lost arts of seriousness, diligence and integrity in our politics.

Official government analysis suggests that Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal will reduce annual economic growth by 6.7% compared to staying in the EU. This is a bigger reduction in economic growth than the financial crisis of 2008-2009. Put that on a bus. businessinsider.com/boris-johnson-…

"Trump is threatening to launch a damaging trade war with the UK. He and his allies have issued a series of trade threats on everything from Iran to Huawei to taxes on tech firms. Trump appears to be taking advantage of the UK's vulnerable new position." businessinsider.de/international/…

Dear The Guardian, @zoesqwilliams.bsky.social, can I ask why you think learning Welsh is "existentially pointless", and moreover why you think it is pertinent or acceptable to print this ignorant bile? Welsh speakers (& all Welsh people) will expect an apology. Urgently. Cc. ComisiynyddyGymraeg

Zoe Williams - would she tell 314,000 Icelandic speakers that to learn their native language must have been a lot of effort for low reward?

How Twitter Works: Me: "I think dogs are better than cats." Skeptic: "What is your source?" Solipsist: "That's not true. I was once bitten by a dog." SJW: "That's specist and transphobic. What if the dog identifies as a cat?!" Post-modernist: "Dogs are a social construct."
