The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

We pride ourselves on being a democracy and yet there’s a medieval theocratic anachronism in the heart of parliament: 26 bishops with automatic seats in the House of Lords. (The only other country in the world with clerics automatically entering a government is… Iran).
Great news. MPs should also pay attention to our campaigns:

● Remove the 26 bishops

Religious office should not grant automatic voting rights in a parliamentary democracy.

● Scrap parliamentary prayers

Attending prayers should not to provide speaking advantages🧵

God Farage is a bore. He voted against improving workers’ rights. He doesn’t want us to have control over our lives. He demands that we live within the stifling confines of his stale old prejudices and resentments.
Fewer rights. Less protection. More exploitation.
That’s his plan for the rest of us.

British politics isn't about you or me, or your neighbour, friend or colleague. British politics is about the people who sit in that hateful palace on the Thames, the vile venal games they played to get into that rotten place, and the exercise of power in their own interest once they’re installed

The MSM oft controlled from abroad. The Mail, owned by ‘Lord’ Rotheremere - lives in France, identifies as French, pays no tax in the UK and yet dictates fascist editorial policy. Ex pats owning UK media should be outlawed and illegal. Yet the gullible UK knuckledraggers fall for the lies every time

“It could take years to restore Brexit losses”

Especially if Farage comes along and tears up the ‘reset’ as he threatens.

Honest to god.. it’s such a tedious, idiotic, resource-sapping mess. There’s really nothing patriotic about it. Prejudice costs such a lot.

New on FT website:

Downing Street has refused to say whether Sir Keir Starmer knew Palantir was a client of Peter Mandelson’s lobbying firm when they both visited the company in Washington last February — ahead of it winning a £240mn UK government contract.

Mandelson has behaved in a revolting manner; he deserves this scrutiny.
Corbyn did nothing to deserve the harassment he got from the mainstream media, constantly doorstepped outside his own house.
Something the Labour right (the Dark Lord’s domain) were very comfortable with.
🚨 This evening, a notice was circulated from representatives of Peter Mandelson, via press regulator IPSO and the Press Association news wire, to all media across the UK

We believe it is strongly in the public interest to publish this memo. This is it in full 👇
