Octopuses? Rats? Watermelons?
Who knew?
Is there a list somewhere so that we can find out about these things before people loose their jobs?

BREAKING
After a debate in Parliament, the Government has accepted my Private Members’ Water Bill.
As of today:
• Above-inflation water bill hikes suspended
• Dividend payouts halted
• Citizens’ Assembly on water ownership confirmed
Democratic control of water is here!

The only time in history we had decent living conditions for ordinary people was when we taxed the very rich. These two things are connected.

So a privately educated multimillionaire called Nigel is fighting a privately educated multimillionaire called Rupert for control of what purports to be an anti-establishment party? That's so wonderfully British.

Israel cuts off power to Gaza, starves population and so on…
Does Palestine exist in a weird international law free zone?
Where are the voices of the West? Let alone the actions…

The President of the United States welcomed a leader wanted by the ICC and officially endorsed ethnic cleansing.
Now would be a good time for our government to defend international law.
If they won’t say it, we will: Palestinians aren’t going anywhere.

The whole "If the left and right hate the BBC, it must be doing something right" is nonsense. The left hate it because it keeps platforming Farage and the like. The right hate it because they had a black guy playing a Shakespeare character in a show they wouldn't watch anyway.

So Nigel Farage has replaced Boris Johnson as the MP trousering the most money from other jobs.
Farage has pocketed over £570,000 in outside income in just six months.
I brought a Bill to ban all MPs' Second Jobs.
I'll keep pushing to end to this racket once and for all.

As promised, here is one more medieval crown to help you kick off your weekend 👑
This one is particularly special, as it just so happens to have belonged to an absolute political powerhouse -- and one of my favorite medieval women:
Margaret of York, Duchess of Burgundy

This is the oldest surviving crown known to have been worn by royalty in medieval England 👑
First worn by Anne of Bohemia & then by Blanche of England, this crown saw the overthrow & deposition of one king, the rise & rule of another, & the marriage of an English princess🧵
