I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

Have I ever racially abused anyone?
"Never in a hurtful or insulting way"
"Not with intent"
In other words, "yes".

Just the good, friendly, morale-boosting kind of racism.

Except that’s not true.

Gill was the head of Reform UK in Wales only a few years ago - in 2021.

Gill was constantly seen by Farage’s side since his first election - as a UKIP MEP - in 2014.

Reform must come clean with their Russian connections.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

I suppose that this encapsulates the problem with how we elect leaders - the skills required to win an election are very different to those needed to run a country or manage a crisis.

Some notable things in what's being called the "Trump peace plan" but which could not have been more clearly written in Moscow if it came with a 2 for 1 deal on tickets to the Bolshoi Ballet. 🧵

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given.

The same is true for everyone who swear their oath.

Hope that clears things up.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

There's an argument to be made that this--appearing with an authoritarian thug he invited to the White House and defending him against founded allegations he murdered a US-based journalist--is right up there with dressing down Zelensky as the most shameful televised Oval Office incident of Trump II.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
