My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

For forgiveness to work (and I’m all for it by the way) the person seeking it has to have at least made an attempt to change, and not repeat the offence not just better disguising it. If not, you simply move away from that person. That is where non- racist and non anti semitic folk are right now.

I'm really pleased that the accusations against Farage are quite rightly not going away. He appears very, very rattled and deservedly so.
This is very long overdue.

And have you noticed a big uptick in “benefits” stories at the moment?
Probably completely unrelated(🤔) to the fact we’ve had the longest run with no small boat crossings for 2 years, and the latest immigration stats are down at pre-pandemic levels…

What sticks out to me is how absolutely unafraid of prosecution this psychopath is. Part of it is narcissistic personality disorder, but it's mostly the perceived weakness of Democrats. Should they retake power, no one expects Democrats to hold anyone accountable.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Nigel Farage has no solutions. He lives to divide, to spite - acting only in service of himself and his paymasters.
He has no interest in nor ability to make the lives of ordinary people better.
He’s a snake oil salesman with the morals of Grima Wormtongue.
He’s the very worst of us.

We’re entering a tricky time of year for a lot of people. Sharing some reminders in case it’s useful. 🧵
- it’s ok to say no to organised fun (I’m looking at you, work Xmas party). “Excruciating” is a perfectly valid feeling.
- Some people are just arseholes. That may include family members.

The strategy of trying to change Putins mind has not worked. Time to shift to a new strategy focused on changing Putins capabilities. That means more and better weapons for Ukraine and more and better sanctions for Russia.

🆘 🧵 SUMMARY OF USA 🇺🇸 Deal
1️⃣ The pharma deal is beginning of a much larger U.S. takeover of UK standards.
Trump officials explicitly say pharma is:
“the first domino”, “proof UK will move quickly to align with U.S. regulatory norms”
That alone is devastating.
