I spent two years working with Stephen Miller.
His appointment as White House chief of staff is among the most dangerous personnel decisions in the history of our republic.
I say that without reservation.

Stephen Miller is a dangerous xenophobe and reckless extremist who has American blood on his hands.
His presence in government should be eradicated like a malignant tumor.
Fire him today.

The First Lady welcomes a regime that is murdering civilians, torturing prisoners and assassinating its own dissidents, every day

Makes me laugh how Reform say they want to improve education when, if that happened, their voter base would absolutely plummet in the future.

Suella, improving English standards and offering Ukrainian GCSEs are not mutually exclusive.
179,930 16-year-olds missed grade 4 in English this year. That deserves serious attention.
But you served in a government responsible for their education for years.
Why exploit their results to attack an entirely separate qualification rather than explain what went wrong?

The Trump White House gives a platform to the top financial adviser to Putin, a war criminal killing civilians and kidnapping children in Ukraine, and allows him to talk about "compassion." This is gross--and a big propaganda win for Putin.

Abdul El-Sayed shows more Christian values than MAGA Christians do. And he’s Muslim.

Ralph Miliband fled the holocaust, fought the Nazis and became one of the most significant socialist thinkers of the late 20th C.
Liz truss crashed the economy and now served as an increasingly incoherent and toxic mouthpiece for the global far right.

Imagine endorsing a Trump puppet because you’re a sore fucking loser. Never want to hear from @HaleyforMI ever again. Career over.

Wil Wheaton to Stephen Miller after his Patrick Stewart tribute:
“Keep my Captain’s name out of your f**king Nazi mouth. He despised you, and everything you stand for.”

Haley Stevens should be removed from the House Democratic Caucus tomorrow morning. No tolerance.

My first memory of Doctor Who is The Invisible Enemy and to me so John Leeson (and K9) has always been an integral part of the show.
What an erudite, charming, courteous, multi-talented man. An INTERESTED & therefore INTERESTING fellow. A pleasure to be with.
Bless him. RIP John.
