I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

TODAY IS #HumanRightsDay

Let’s remember Human Rights are universal & non- negotiable.

If we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want

“We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants”

Meanwhile over in “the other place” a Reform party MP is actually threatening to shut down the BBC - a public service broadcaster - because a political satire show made fun of party leader NigelFarage

The call for the ban on the sale of fireworks to the general public, and only setting off fireworks under license conditions in displays…

…has been reignited by a petition started by a person whose mother was killed by a firework which started a house fire.

Let’s also not forget leaving the ECHR could result in UK’s trade deal with the EU being terminated because the convention is written into the 2020 Trade & Co-operation Agreement & would also breach the Good Friday Agreement which requires the Convention be directly enforceable in Northern Ireland

"Although we count people coming in, we can’t know whether they are really migrants until 12 months later... The Migration Advisory Committee which advises government on migration, estimates that, overall, about 43% are likely to stay in the UK permanently."

REALLY helpful guide to the key facts. 👇
Net migration: time to face the real facts
The last government ignored difficult issues, and allowed incompatible policies on migration. The real challenges are much more difficult.

Jeez. Boris Johnson is now on French radio saying “We forget all this now because it was two or three years ago but when we had the pandemic, thanks to Brexit we had the chance to do the vaccinations in England much earlier”

I’ve debunked this absolute boll**** many times👇
Boris Johnson is still repeating his completely untrue claim that “Brexit saved lives” with the vaccine rollout - and he’s now doing it completely unchallenged. How many times do I have to correct this boll****
