I think I was sickening for COVID on Thursday, however I didn't realise it because it manifested itself as a headache, bloating and loose bowels. I think the latest iteration is more gastric.

I would go further.

If you convert Khan's lead into Japanese Yen and map it against the inflation adjusted price of short grain rice in Latin America from 1967-69 then, assuming Mercury remains in retrograde and the Yankees win the World Series, it's a tough day for Labour.

The precise moment that Kuenssberg realised she couldn’t spin this as a Tory victory.

The story of Zinaida Portnova, the 16 year old girl who took the lives of more than 100 Nazis by poisoning their food. She was captured by the Gestapo, and while being interrogated, she disarmed the Nazi detective and shot him in the head. In her attempt to escape, she executed…

Really feel quite sickened. We use the phrase 'performative cruelty' quite a lot. The thing is, it feels awful to watch acts of cruelty. But to see people behave cruelly specifically because they think it'll make them more popular is so much worse.

Imagine being the Prime Minister of a country and celebrating the decline of what can be considered one of Britain’s greatest exports - Education. 🙄

Sunak posting one of his stupid tweets has made me cross, so here comes quick(ish) thread! 🧵

Tory govt has covertly signed a contract targeting 20% cuts to new education plans for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to bring down costs.

With a SEND son, I know the pain this will cause to so many children & families

I’m not one for complaining but I am gutted! I spent 27 years in the Army and today I was going to vote in my local elections.

I was sadly turned away at the door as my Veteran ID was not allowed as formal ID.

I will be fighting for this “special ID” to be “more” formal🇬🇧

They’ve given up now. It seems to me that the Conservative Party’s strategy is to bury their heads in the sand until after the election, at which point they will blame the in-coming Labour government for the (escalating) consequences of Brexit and claim that it would have been…

Very pleased to say that, following our challenge, Rishi Sunak has been ordered to disclose his dealings, including on text and WhatsApp, with his former hedge fund Theleme over its lucrative investment in Moderna. goodlaw.social/jazv

Sunak says, of the #RwandaBill , 'Everyone’s patience with this has run thin, mine certainly has.'
That's possibly the first time I've agreed with him.
Our patience with this Govt and their vile attempts at legislation has run out.

I think I was about thirteen when I read a book on Auschwitz.

I read, in detail the horrors and cruelty. I couldn't comprehend that humans were capable of such evil.

I remember thinking how did ordinary German people feel ?

I think I know now.
I'm ashamed.

Interesting reflection of what Dursley (near Stroud) voter was just telling me: fed up with Labour putting out national issue leaflets supposedly for #LE2024

Peter Stefanovic Jeremy Hunt 'For the poorest half of households in Britain, it said living standards would be as much as 20% lower this year compared with 2019-20, and would not return to pre-pandemic levels until 2027.'

We've seen what? Who are 'we'?

- Using 'donated' private jets
- Not getting the train
- Cutting welfare spending

Rishi Sunak says to judge him by his actions, not his wealth. So Carol Vorderman does...

Help for disabled people in England and Wales to get jobs is axed amid benefits crackdown.

Sickening. The Tory plan for crushing people is alive and well.

VOTE ON THE 2ND OF MAY and light a fire up them. That GE is coming 🔥

A brilliant response by Timothy Snyder to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s accusation of Nazis in Ukraine. As a leading scholar on the subject of nationalism, Snyder makes three points:

Oh are you new there, lady?

🚨BREAKING: The Commons rejects ALL four Lords amendments to Rwanda bill.

Fourth amendment proposed those who worked with the UK military or govt overseas, such as Afghan interpreters, be exempted from removal to Rwanda. Shameful. #RwandaBill
