EU far-right tries to postpone debate on UK Brexit lawbreaking http://a.msn.com/01/en-gb/AAZbBvv?ocid=st
Never mind, fourth time’s the charm: https://on.ft.com/3yH0rXN
Boris Johnson's Cabinet now briefing against him too.
Seems like a concerted briefing campaign is now underway against Boris Johnson from within his own government.
Excl: A senior Downing Street source told The Independent that the PM was given a direct, first hand account of claims against Pincher before promoting him to deputy chief whip: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-chris-pincher-tory-mp-allegations-b2115612.html
Carrie Johnson helped get rid of @Dominic2306 - if she’s briefing against Number 10 (the press spox refused to support her over the most recent Carriegate scandal) we really are in End of the Romanovs territory
I'm not saying Boris has quite reached the end yet, but his wife briefing against him is probably not a good sign.
The Council of Europe are calling out the British Transphobic Moral Panic again.
It’s become so bad that it’s a serious concern for human rights bodies:
I understand why Labour feel need to go slow. Even though means, pro-EU support base is ignored. But don't add insult to injury by denying Brexit's disastrous essence & legitimising Tory fantasies about how beezer it could be. Pragmatism is fine. Pandering to prejudice, no thanks
Have Johnson or Truss told us yet: when NI Assembly comes to exercise its right to vote on keeping or scrapping Protocol in couple of years' time, would it be voting on the Protocol as agreed by EU & UK, or on the rump Protocol left over after the UK has hacked it to pieces?
Spent today looking again at UK’s Bill to destroy NI Protocol, in breach of international law. For those interested in the details, some further comments in this short thread:
BREAKING: This man, this living legend, this true patriot is Steve Bray @snb19692 and today, the police are trying harder than ever to silence him.
Here at @16MillionRising we stand shoulder to shoulder with the hardest working Rejoiner out there!
Keep your hands off him.
Tory MPs vote to sink the UK yet further into Johnson's rancid political cesspit. A bleak day for British adherence to international law & for Western unity just when it is most needed. And of course, for poor Northern Ireland - Brexit's long suffering plaything.
Back from idyll of holidaying in Perigord, I've now forced myself to catch up on UK’s Northern Ireland Protocol Bill. Short thread with some critical thoughts (few should come as any surprise, but it’s useful to add one’s voice to the existing consensus of expert opinion):
We have 3 post doc positions for those fleeing or affected by the war in Ukraine. Fields law and social Sciences broadly construed. Please share as widely as possible https://blest.unibocconi.eu/fellowship-and-exchanges/fellowships-ukrainian-scholars-postdocs-eu-studies
Smirks aplenty if Johnson is ousted from office. If he clings on, hope only to preside over own electoral destruction. Yet either way, as Gandalf once said, the Black Riders will only find new forms to take & new beasts to ride. Johnson is mere Trumpian symptom of deeper malaise.
I think they are going to file for bankruptcy…. Ok I need to lose weight but I’m making the most of this before I diet.
Makes my day when Good Morning Britain producer actually rings me to tell me about my language and so I just tell him to fuck off!
I’m really angry and really upset at how GMB treated not me… but us. I let you down because I shuffled so much around! I’m sorry I should have known better. Never again. ❤️
For the weekend, then for tonight Good Morning Britain the TV show promised me this & that. They have given me hope & f’Jed me around & really inconvenienced me only to say sorry. Sorry doesn’t cut it, we deserve a voice in this mad world. Sorry everyone… they cut me.
I have been quite busy behind the scenes. I haven’t tweeted much lately but certainly not gone away. Good Morning Britain TV tomorrow if all goes as planned at 06:40 ish. Back at Parliament later that day, Wednesday & Thursday. We will not be silenced.
We can't ever forget the MPs & Ministers that backed the lying charlatan Johonson. They have gone beyond the point of no return for trust, even when they backtrack they cannot be trusted in public office or with public money!
#CorruptToriesOut
Another minister lying on behalf of a lying Prime Minister right now … another soul dying … Johnson debases everything he touches …
I'm not going to add the # to beergate - Tory Bots are out in force today! Even if Starmer had a drink with a few of campaigners at the end of a long day & it was deemed to break the rules it is not even 1/1,000,000,000 of what this corrupt government have done! #Partygate
What your lying, cheating charlatan of a brother has done to millions of us is so much worse on an epic scale! Welcome to the club though!
