During a decade of Brexit debates, BBC Question Time invited 50 British MEPs from the EU Parliament onto its show. Every single one of them was pro-Brexit. 45 were UKIP, 3 were Tories, 2 were Reform. Farage alone appeared as an MEP 23 times! Not one pro-EU MEP was invited onto the show. Not one!

The grammar police have started arrested people for signs like the one I held on our last demo. It'll be an interesting test of the law, because "I support Palestine. Action is needed now" is an expression of opinion. It would make no sense without the full stop.

At @fightingdirty.bsky.social, we sued over this issue, and lost on the grounds that the Environment Agency couldn't be in breach because the government had issued no direction. An absurdity, which means that poisons continue to be spread on farmland every day. 🧵
