Stondeð nu on laste leofre duguþe weal wundrum heah,
In the place of the beloved troop stands a wall wondrous high
The Tories are stealing the Trump playbook to rev up division
Stop the boats =build the wall
The invented fear about cancelling Xmas comes from the same place

A list. Just like Johnson.
Sunak was scared of getting the blowback he deserves
The Prime Minister repeatedly said earlier this week that no decision had been taken on HS2.
But we’ve discovered that he recorded this social media video in No10 about scrapping HS2 before going to conference. Hmm.

The junk degree that needs curtailing is Oxford's PPE: it fosters hubris, entitlement and dilettantism
Oxford should pay reparations for the harms done by those who owe their credibility to PPE

Tired of @BBCr4today and other Radio 4 treating politics like a sport or drama, ignoring threats to democracy and the planet, normalising crypto fascism bullies and racism. Choosing vox pops that enunciate crude views

Really @bbcr4youandyours do better: you and yours isn't us versus them
Tell us why the strikes were necessary
Don't normalise Tory greed over people
Disappointing to hear @bbcr4 trying to drum up resentment against the strike instead of asking workers: what have you missed by getting exploitation wages

Good. The destroyers of democracy need to be held to account
Rupert Murdoch, the 91-year-old chairman of Fox News parent company Fox Corp, will be forced to answer questions under oath next week about his network’s coverage of the 2020 presidential election. wapo.st/3BbN7vc

As a result of the Republicans’ regaining control of the House of Representatives, the January 6th committee will cease to exist. @tnyCloseRead considers the future of the investigations. nyer.cm/WFZ08Ap
Water and air should never be privatised
Education, childcare, prisons, healthcare, should never be run as for-profit enterprises
Life and its means should not be for sale

The party’s strong record on green issues risks being undermined by a proposed bonfire of environmental regulations. Read my latest @thetimes column here: bit.ly/3SAQ8M6
