See below. Just in case anyone wondered why the EU would not sign a new science contract with the UK govt while the NI Protocol “dispute” was underway… …they knew what Frost has now admitted. 2.5 years of lost science collaboration in on you, Boris Johnson.

The Conservative Party has fallen into the hands of the most extreme right wing zealots it is possible to image. Flirting with Nigel Farage, a lurch so far to the right, it makes Ken Clarke and Michael Heseltine look like socialists. Suella, the xenophobe & the darling of

Dear Rt Hon Michelle Donelan - As Science Minister, I think you owe the UK science community an apology for this nasty propaganda which undermines the community you are charged with representing. RT if you agree...

So tedious. Again: the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement and security parts of EU-UK trade deal are predicated on ECHR membership, as Sunak well knows. This is just playground talk.

Poorest fifth has 8% of the total disposable income. 38% of universal credit claimants are in work. 50 UK families have more wealth than half the population. Top 1% has more wealth than 70% of the population combined, Tax the rich to reduce poverty. leftfootforward.org/2024/05/heres-…

I don’t speak of this often but listening to Nigel Farage in tonight’s debate I must. My dad was an immigrant. From the moment he arrived in this country he worked hard every day in labouring jobs. My most vivid recollection is of his tired & weary eyes and oil stained overalls

🚨We just dropped in on Farage’s election rally with a beaming picture of Putin. Nigel was not pleased.

Jon Sopel I have feared for their collective mental health since they promoted Suella Braverman and expelled Dominic Grieve.

If Braverman defects to Reform, expect the party to kick up a nuclear-level stink about Short Money funding. With 5 MPs, their funding is capped. With 6 or more MPs, it's uncapped. But there's some indication defections don't count for the purpose of calculating Short Money.

Must watch on House of Commons reform Ellie Chowns Dr Ellie Chowns, "As a newly elected member, I'd like to offer observations on three elements on how this house operates: sitting, speaking and voting" ➡️ Sitting - Chamber is too small - In Council and in European parliament

A very large anti-racist crowd in #Brighton. On the A23 entering here, the Patcham Pylons inscription hails guests and then says: “If friend we greet thee hand and heart. If stranger no longer be. If foe our love shall conquer thee.” That spirit proven a thousand-fold tonight.

As a Brit, I've been watching the American election results with sorrow for my American friends. Some are comparing it to the Brexit vote here, imagining if we'd voted for Brexit twice. But here's the thing... in a sense, we did. And here are some lessons from it. 🧵

25-year-old Victoria Thomas-Bowen has been given a suspended prison sentence today for assault by beating, for throwing a milkshake over Nigel Farage in Clacton. Farage has claimed her being spared jail is "two-tier justice". It's not, as I'd like to highlight in a small 🧵

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

Ucrania, España está contigo. Ukraine, Spain stands with you. Україно, Іспанія з тобою. 🇺🇦 🇪🇸

And most importantly: 
Ask who benefits from your outrage. If something makes you instantly angry at a group of people, it’s worth pausing and digging deeper. Outrage is a currency and someone’s cashing in….. 19/22
