This public inquiry needs to happen. Ex-PM Boozo Johnson 'sat' on the Russia Report for a reason and is suspected of close 'links' to Russian oligarchs. Brits need to know the extent of the Kremlin's 🕷️insidious influence on UK politics & democracy. Please sign👍

Hey! Well done everyone🥂
Now let’s watch them studiously ignore us. As if exposing the selling out of our democracy is an unnecessary distraction, rather than critical to our national wellbeing…

Hard-hitting truth-telling from UCL Prof Anthony Costello….

“The Covid Public Inquiry is a devastating critique of medical advisers, civil servants and politicians who led the UK to the worst public health disaster in a century. More than 230,000 deaths.”

Increasingly sure this whole fiasco is in fact a long-running postmodern art/immersive theatre project designed to give us all something to laugh at in these difficult times. Perhaps put on by the Judean Popular Front's theatre collective.
Huge cheers as a speaker at Your Party conference shouts "no witch hunts, no expulsions" on stage and calls for all members of other socialist/communist groups to be allowed into the party (many have been booted out in recent weeks)

Many are astounded Corbyn's allies have expelled many Trotskyists.

Top headline on Radio 4 just now: "The government is being pressed to explain the real costs of taxis for asylum seekers".

There's clearly some misuse of money going on here, but is this genuinely THE most important thing happening in the world today?
Radcliffe and Maconie on BBC 6 music is one of my favourite things

Having it interrupted by breathless news bulletin telling me ‘government has banned taxis for asylum seekers’ *really isn’t*

New lines like ‘Home Office spent £1k over weekend on taxis’ would struggle to make a local newspaper
