If I wrote what I really thought I’d be booted off the platform. Now let’s see the same treatment meted out to Gill’s fellow wreckers.
April 2019 I had a run-in with Nathan Gill on Twitter after pointing out how bad Nigel Farage's record as an MEP was.
He said: "I don't think you understand what anti EU means 😁. It does not mean working to make the system work, it means working to make it not work. Simples."
Enjoy prison, Nathan.

Rachel Johnson defending her brother on @lbc.co.uk currently just blamed the "statest establishment" for the failures.
"He's getting all the blame and none of the credit" and "he did his best."
Really Rachel? Well his best was appalling. This wasn't a gold club tombola. It was a pandemic.

Trump’s rehabilitation of Putin sends the message to others that if you bully your neighbours you will be rewarded with propaganda wins like the red carpet treatment he gave Putin. You may even be rewarded with new territory & the ability to meddle in other nation’s constitution

Trump has made a choice over the course of the past few months to publicly reward Putin for illegally invading another country and stealing their land, rather than make him an international pariah. Those who say Ukraine needs to accept reality, think what precedent this sets

Maurice has to go
One of the biggest blights on Labour, the ultra-Conservative Maurice Glasman, says Labour will be forced to leave the ECHR soon because judges are “a bunch of arrogant, unaccountable, useless people who protect Albanian drug dealers from getting deported.” (via New Statesman)

I was honoured to unveil a plaque for Sam Green, the first openly gay politician to be elected in the UK.
He did so much for his community and his courage and dedication remind us to keep championing equality, respect and the rights of everybody.

This is one of the changes in the UK media landscape that should be more remarked on: the fact that being a very open, proud, outright racist is no longer a bar to being a pundit on some TV stations (in this case GBN and Talk TV).
Lucy White advocates a ban on "non-natives" from office, citing Rishi Sunak and Priti Patel.
So she is referring to UK-born ethnic minority citizens. (Her argument would apply equally to Shabana Mahmood, Kemi Badenoch, Suella Braverman and others)
Lucy White continues to be a GB News regular
