So it’s really interesting how Cummings was very willing to go through the phone of Javid’s aide and sack her on the basis of private messages, but now that it’s *their* communications that are due to be released, No 10 are suddenly up in arms about the value of privacy 🤔

When all this is over let’s remember who looked out for us. And who didn’t. (Location: Poole)

The extraordinary Paul Robeson - actor, singer and socialist - was born #OnThisDay in 1898. He was a great friend to the mining community in Britain and the working class around the world. Here he sings the song Joe Hill for miners during a visit to Britain in 1949 ↓

🚨Right guys, we have a challenge🚨 This “let’s blame Dom” story has probably been timed to push the PPE scandal articles off the front pages. We need everyone to understand what happened in court yesterday against the government. 💙Pls RT this thread. 🤞Can we hit 1000 RTs?🤞

Wow Dominic Raab is a qualified solicitor. Yet is apparently unaware that solicitors can *already* qualify to perform Crown Court advocacy. And for some reason thinks solicitors would happily work in the conditions that have forced barristers to strike. mol.im/a/11139899

In 2011, Jeremy Clarkson called for striking workers to be "shot in front of their families". He continued to present Top Gear for another four years. After criticising plans to criminalise asylum seekers, Gary Linekar has lasted three days.
