The London Ambulance Service was 100 ambulances down yesterday because nearly 400 staff are off with Covid. But these charmers still chose to congregate today in their unmasked thousands. Absolutely staggering. #LondonProtest

Can I just say, if you're unvaccinated, and change your mind but worried about people judging you at the vaccination center, this will absolutely not be the case. We will welcome you with open arms.

Ultimately, what's going to finish us all off is thick people who are convinced that they're clever people. From the cabinet of dunces to these angry, sentient dumplings, they're the worst of us.

Stunned to see Decanter publishing this so-called letter. 'Booby, cocktail dress wearing girls'? Ugh.

How could this man seriously become PM? He has just given £4,300,000,000 to criminals (that’s like giving 1m each to 4,300 crooks) and said… … “oh well”. That’s staggering. Again - not waste, but worse - funding for crooks.

Following the events in Ukraine, we have launched an emergency appeal ➡️ bit.ly/UkraineCrisisA… Communities are bearing the brunt of eight long years of conflict. We are very concerned about the recent intensification of fighting in Ukraine over the past few days.

More of the ‘it touches us because they could be us - in a way Syrians and Yemenis can’t’ being given airtime on #bbctoday this morning. Why don’t they just call it Thoughtless of the Day?

Right, going to have a bash at explaining a complicated and important story about bent police officers being sacked in secret … 👮‍♀️

1/4 THREAD ABOUT MY GRIM EXPERIENCE OF AN ABORTION IN UK. Overwhelmed services meant I was near to cutoff for surgical abortion which are far riskier. It was suggested I travel 100s of miles to Liverpool. Services are broken - government must rectify this. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

That will be the same Ukraine that very much wants to join the EU.

The government, cynically, wants to generate legal battles with “lefty lawyers“ then it can blame them rather than the real source of incompetence - itself

This is Emanuel Gomes. He was a cleaner at the Ministry of Justice, working for £9.08 an hour, which was just above the legal minimum. He continued to come into work during the early days of the lockdown. He died on 23 April 2020.

Tory MP Richard Drax is owner of a vast estate in Dorset and of Drax Hall in Barbados - both bought by his enslaver ancestors. See plashmar’s work on this, one of the larger slavery fortunes still intact and increasing in Britain today. Talk about windfalls…

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.

Given that @lucyfrazermp has taken the time to write about the criminal justice system, in her capacity as a barrister, it is only fair to take some time to explain why almost every line of this article is untrue, nonsensical or both. [THREAD]

Johnson's legacy: he got the big calls wrong

Right now a barrister will get paid more, by the state, to defend a murderer or rapist than to prosecute them. This is obviously absurd and inequitable. Yet the MoJ refuses to acknowledge and act upon that plain and indisputable fact.
