Boris Johnson: "it was only right to say goodbye to colleagues who were leaving" My aunt Joyce, on a borrowed phone in ICU: "David, I'm scared, I don't want to die, I've so much living left to do" Me: "I love you, you're my hero, I will see you soon" The next day she died.

At this point, Amber Heard has become a completely dehumanized stand in for all the hate people have towards women but can't find a way to justify x.com/RottenInDenmar…

I don't know if you guys realize that there is now a (very famous) precedent for how saying publicly that you are a victim of domestic violence, without naming your abuser, is considered defamation

Whenever I see someone ask if we’re expected to continue masking in healthcare settings forever, I immediately think of Semmelweis. The man who discovered that HCWs’ dirty hands were causing fever and death in patients.

In the 1920s/30s liberals and conservatives in Germany believed they could keep the Far Right in check - and cooperated with them. This has proven to be the biggest political mistake in German history. All democrats have a responsibility that this must never be repeated.

In May we reported claims that a member of the govt had a “minder” to ensure he left events without drinking too much and getting into trouble — and can now reveal the MP concerned was Pincher. politico.eu/article/what-t…

Just bought my month long travel card for Berlin (where I’m living for 3 months). Covers public transport anywhere in Germany. It cost €9. The U.K. is actually doing daylight robbery.

One year apart One year

If one thing has become apparent today it is that the UK is in need of urgent constitutional reform. Never again must we face a situation where a mad man who thinks himself in possession of a mandate, when that has failed, can hold the country to ransom.

Let’s sing it from the rooftops, one and all. The democratic mandate was NOT for Boris Johnson as individual, president or even mayor. That is not how parliamentary democracy works. God help us all if the prime minister doesn’t understand that!

A reminder of just who he is

To answer the “it’s summer!” brigade 40C is NOT normal for the UK 25C by night is NOT normal UK infrastructure’s not built for it Heatwaves are among the most dangerous of natural hazards Heat records are becoming more frequent 7 out of 10 hottest UK days have been since 2003

the inner monologue

Seriously

The entire country at the thought of Boris Johnson becoming Prime Minister again. (sound up)

Suella Braverman did not mistakenly leak a meaningless document. She endlessly consulted a maverick. She deliberately emailed a policy doc not yet agreed to her pvt email. Then she sent it to John Hayes and someone she thought was his wife. Then lied to PM about when it was sent
