Today is an important day in Lewisham's history. On the 13th August 1977, local people & antifascists joined forces to stop the National Front marching through Lewisham. It was the biggest clash between the far-right & those who opposed them since WW2. 🧵 📸: Paul Trevor.

I can’t “walk a mile in the Queen’s shoes”, on account of it being a hereditary monarchy. Which I want to abolish.

If the US can criminalize European journalism, imprison journalists for years with gruelling extradition proceedings, and snatch them from European shores, the rule of law in Europe is already lost. If #Assange is surrendered, he's gone. Last chance to have a say. Use it.
I was very glad to stand with many @Europarl_EN colleagues today demonstrating against Julian #Assange's extradition. The clock has run out on press freedom. A decision is imminent. It is time to take a stand. #FreeAssangeNOW cc. @pritipatel @JoeBiden

£200 loan in Oct 22, 14 months after the crisis began - and when the price cap will be £1k higher than in Oct 21 - you’re having a laugh right?  You realise that you’ll be collecting £50 per household more VAT with the other hand?
We’re providing up to £350 per household this year through the #EnergyBillsRebate to help people deal with rising energy bills. Chancellor @rishisunak explains what this support will look like and how it will benefit UK households.

Elevator To The Gallows (1958) score was composed and performed by Miles Davis in a one session recording while he watched a screening of the film. He took notes while watching the rough cut and then invited 4 fellow musicians without preparation to record it in one go.

We are about to be collectively gaslit about the Spring of 2020 and what really happened. It will be implied that your memory was the problem, not the rules. This is a common experience dealt out from governments to both disaster and conflict survivors and responders. A few tips:
