OTD in 1944, #JehovahsWitness Jonathan Stark was executed by hanging at Sachsenhausen. He was fired from his job due to his faith, & when conscripted for Reich labour service in Oct, 1943, refused to take an oath to Hitler & the state. He was interned, then murdered, aged 18.

How many of you know what Cruella Braverman's Public Order Bill contains? It's frankly unbelievable: legislation you might expect in Russia, Iran or Egypt. Here's a summary from my column today:

If you don't want to be detested, try not being detestable all day long. Try not crushing the poor. Try not crashing the economy. Try not dismantling the health service. Try not being corrupt. Try not stoking division. Try not lying. Try.

We really do. A log of every time an employee of a secretly-funded think tank appears in print or broadcast media without disclosing who pays their wages would be a serious public service. People would be astonished by the amount. Some even have columns in Barclay/Murdoch organs.

Well of course not Laura. You were employed on the basis that they knew what you would say.

Utterly outrageous that every single beach between #Brighton & Hastings has been pumped with vile raw sewage - yet people are swimming in literal sh*t without realising, because privatised, profiteering water companies can't even do their job & monitor water pollution properly

English water companies are 90% owned by investors from abroad. Wessex Water by a Malaysian company; Northumbrian Water by a Hong Kong businessman (80%); Thames Water by United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, China & Australia investors. We are paying them to pollute our rivers & seas.

I know an extremely brilliant charity in Leeds who need 3500sq ft of accessible warehouse space asap. Ideally on a peppercorn rent. (It’s not us btw) Please help them as they deliver an absolutely essential, much needed service.
