Oh the irony, if Williamson's own degree at Bradford got the chop. But people like him don't care - their ideology trumps any sense of fairness and they very quickly pull the ladder up after them. The end justifies the means. theguardian.com/education/20… theguardian.com/education/20…

Good job nobody connected with the Tory party broke lockdown measures Andrew, and that you're not a Leicestershire MP, or that would make this a self-own.
Labour Leicester Mayor who broke the lockdown repeatedly is again undermining measures to suppress the virus, when almost 5% of residents tested positive. Perhaps he’s keen to get the city and his abysmal record out of the media spotlight, no slaves here, business as usual?

This. Which is why none of Jacob's hedge funds have moved to Ireland to remain in the EU.

Propelled to power by ignorant bellows of “You lost, get over it!” Boris Johnson is already reduced to sacking a colleague for winning an election. The Emperor’s naked buttocks are now perilously close to the nation’s nose.

I was reminded of this classic yesterday - Horrible Histories from 2012. Hopefully it’ll raise a smile... #BattleOfBritain80 #BoB80

This is a massive scandal, perhaps the biggest so far under this government. The secret, under-the-counter contracts given to really weird companies to deliver PPE and other pandemic services. It needs more exposure. Please RT and circulate. Thanks. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

7 Billion is about half the cost of our EU Membership just to get lorries out of Dover. This is a tangible benefit that will be felt by all of us! ft.com/content/fbc6f191-6d69…

From a Brit friend, doing time in the USA: "I did hear a good expression yesterday though, which was that now the Trump Administration was “Swamping the Drain”.

I will never be anything other than proud that I voted remain and against the Tories, particularly against this Johnson govt. Yes, I lost every time. But my conscience is clear. My votes are not responsible for any of this tsunami of shit.

At some point I hope that there will be some recognition that all of the people who said that leaving the EU would mean additional cost and bureaucracy for businesses were right and those who spent the past years peddling fantastical solutions that don’t exist were not.

So glad today's classical libertarian community didn't have to fly in Bomber Command during WWII. Can you imagine the fuss if their wing commander had told them to wear a face nappy at 10,000ft? The chafing doesn't bear thinking about.
