Wishing you all a peaceful and happy Christmas. This Christmas bauble is older than me. Seeing it on my parents’ tree reminds me of the love I’ve been enveloped in for 62 years. I’m so very fortunate.

Farage and his MPs voted it down
Rayner gets binned over £40k in stamp duty
Farage dodges £44k, shrugs & strolls on
The mega wealthy win again.

When the history of the rise of fascism in the UK in the 2020s gets written, the complicity of the BBC will require a full volume of its own.
Here's how the real two-tier Britain works:
1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off.
2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

There is something hugely revealing in the rage that her kindness has provoked. A real “HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME LOOK AT MYSELF?” vibe. And something immensely powerful in her continuing to show them up, by insisting on being kind. A beam of light piercing through. Great interview, @maddow.msnbc.com.
Incredible from Bishop Budde: "We don't have to go to the highest extremes of contempt when we are in a position of disagreement. I think if we could get that back as a country, we would go a long way in being able to work together to address the many problems that we face." ~AA @maddow.msnbc.com

If doing Brexit without a plan for how it would actually work was a bad thing for a government to do, why was it okay for anyone to actually vote for it? Has KB just told all Leave voters they voted for a pig in a poke? And has she admitted she did the same?

Quite the contrast with a president who sneers at the military.
Rest in peace to Submariner LT James Earl Carter Jr, USN (Ret). Carter, the only U.S. President to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy, leaves a legacy of service. The USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23), a Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine, carries his name in honor of his dedication to our nation.
