Fed up with brexit. My Rule No 1 : Never trust a tory. My Rule No 1(a) : Never trust anyone who claims to have legitimate concerns - they don't. Two cats again. Nice

If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's billionaires.

As soon as a general election comes into view I can guarantee that BadEnoch will be cosying up to Reform if it helps them get back into government. They are only interested in power. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #lbc

A really key point. Where EU-Can is going to land is very unclear, but what's *driving* the discussion is entirely clear. Meanwhile, in the UK, there seems no sense of urgency & to the extent there is any discussion it's stuck in 2016 - which in geo-pol/econ terms is a different era.

This is a blatant threat to the RNLI, who are currently out of action in Portsmouth - ergo not saving lives, because staff are being terrorised. When will Mahmood take domestic terrorism of this nature seriously.

What on earth is happening?
  This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.

A short thread on “legitimate concerns”. The phrase is used repeatedly by UK government ministers. The Home Secretary is at it again this week. But only ever - as far as I can tell - in one context: people’s response to the arrival of asylum seekers. Please read whole 🧵before responding - thanks
