• Last week Nigel Farage was in Davos.

• This week Nigel Farage is in Dubai.

Meanwhile, Zack Polanski is in Manchester, the city he grew up in, talking to ordinary people like you and me.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Peter Cook on “those wonderful Berlin cabarets which did so much to stop the rise of Hitler and prevent the outbreak of the Second World War,” notwithstanding, fascists hate artists because empathy highlights their hatefulness & renders them ridiculous.

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️

It would be quite funny if Farage defected to the Tories.

Raphael Warnock: “I can’t think of something more un-American than a federal law enforcement agency that can:

Enter homes without a judicial warrant.
Patrol our streets in unmarked vehicles.
Demand papers at random.

ICE has become a threat to our American freedoms”

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

The Trump administration opposed efforts to expand the use of body cameras by ICE officers, urging Congress in June to cut funding for the program by 75%.

So, these armed felons from January 6, 2021 are “just tourists!”

But an ICU nurse defending a woman who ICE pepper-sprayed and pushed to the ground was a “domestic terrorist “!

Going to see Hamnet later. I didn't like the book much, nor the play, but I do very much like Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, so let's see if it's third time lucky!

#GVerse Bravo #London just joined #Minnesota!

Trafalgar Square filled with protesters demanding justice for Alex Pretti while opposing Farage.

When state violence goes unchecked, the world notices.

Solidarity doesn’t stop at borders. 🇬🇧

this morning in the Mpls suburbs: "There were 5 Ice vehicles staged around this neighborhood and the elementary school, they seem to be watching to bus stops during school kid pick up and drop off. I believe they are trying spook kids/parents so vulnerable parents would expose themselves"

Johnson culled the Tory Party of all but its grimmest dregs & now the grimmest of the grimmest dregs are defecting to Reform. It would be funny if it didn't alllow them, along with Farage, to pretend that they're not responsible for the state of the nation.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Presumably to purge them
