Libraries are the last bastions of refuge in the war against ignorance. Remember, when they come to burn the books, when they try to rewrite history, when they come for the academics, for the scientists and for the philosophers, the Librarians will guard them, we’ll stand our ground and fight.

Every aspect of Farage's political history needs close inspection for corruption ... "Transparency International EU calls for investigation into Nigel Farage Brexit campaign use of EU funds" transparency.eu/transparency...

This morning on BBC Breakfast, Nigel Farage said he had received “zero help from the state” with his security. Yet reports say he had previously received publicly funded protection and was offered a taxpayer-funded package including a bodyguard, a secure car and a trained driver.

When you try and make a major policy announcement and LITERALLY ALL anyone can talk about is how empty the room is... you're done! #StopReform #GetFarageOut

All those scandals are starting to stick.

Uncouple gas and green energy pricing.

Oh boy, are the Right excited by this graph recently published by The Economist! And of course none of them has bothered to read the article itself (TBF, it is behind a paywall!). So as always, let's add a little context and explain why these kinds of comparisons are so problematic 🧵1/25

Take him to the cleaners Neil.

Farage currently on the BBC outlining his shadow budget. Eight f#cling MP’s and a Liz Truss economic disaster in the waiting straight off the back of his fag packet. His crypto policy on it’s own will sink the pound. Give me strength.

Israel has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in Palestine, the latest report from a UN Commission of Inquiry has concluded.

So is he doing nazi salutes because he thinks Hitler was a left wing liberal, could it be that Elon is a just a misunderstood socialist?

Water companies want to push up bills even further. AND Thames Water wants an excruciatingly expensive £2.4 billion bailout. No more water company failures at our expense. Let them go bust! 1/2

For 7 years Meghan was the "heartless daughter”… She stayed silent while our disgusting press gave her endless abuse And probably because she trusted the Met to do its job …and somehow she's still the one getting the blame?!

Imagine a world where we are no longer dependent on oil and nuclear energy. It's coming and it's better and that's why the vested interests are doing everything in their power to stop it

The fact that I don’t find this remotely surprising says a lot about how far the US has fallen..

In the UK we are facing an unprecedented coalition of hostile states, enormously wealthy far-right individuals prepared to spend many hundreds of £millions to swing elections & a media & social media ecosystem which they almost entirely control - we are simply not ready youtu.be/8ap3DObeNEs?...

Windfall profits tackle the symptom not the cause, what we need to do is to prevent windfall profits in the first place - by price controlling oil and gas.

People would be queuing up to go if she remained PM.

Freedom of movement gave British people the chance to work, study and build a life across the EU. Restoring it would open those opportunities again.… #FreedomOfMovement

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

It’s incredible how these politicians have convinced people to believe the polar opposite of who they are.

If you wake up to the corruption does that make you ‘woke’.

We live in a time when we have to reaffirm that the President of the United States is lying when he tells you that schools are performing sex change operations on your children. It’s the satirists I feel most sorry for.

Burnham moots freedom of movement while the world has changed. As a country we are more like Poland was back then, now, rather than everyone wants to come here, we want rights to go there.

🧵 Wow - this article is bordering on unhinged! Apparently the BBC is akin to a “North Korean re-education camp” for teaching children about net-zero and covering both the pros AND cons of immigration Join me for a masterclass in cherry-picking and context stripping to brainwash your own readers👍🏻

If patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, then "performative pietism" is surely the panic room inside.

If you see Sid, tell him.

I’d love to know who this fiery, patriotic young woman is, so I could follow her social media or Substack. This is EXACTLY how the fuck we should all be feeling about the corrupt, criminal regime that’s infested the White House. This shit has to end. And people like this woman will lead the way.
