@jessphillips I am truly awestruck by how you manage to carry on in the face of thee idiots who post bile back at you. but please keep it up if it doesn't harm. you. they are pretty dim anyway!

This woman deserves the Nobel peace prize. I will never not be bowled over by the courage she has shown, the resilience, the strength to use her pain to highlight the plight of so many other women.

Never vote Reform

@jdpoc Yes, I too was waiting for a Zinoviev letter but thought it would come later, maybe a week before to limit attempts at defusing it. And I suspect social media will be used instead (and then repeated in MSM). I hope and expect McFadden / Grey are ready for it.

Yesterday I wrote a thread about the Daily Mail “Zinoviev“ letter, which stole the 1924 election for the Tory party, and suggested we might see something similar, sometimes soon. Daily Mail today…

@supertanskiii Happy Birthday, I hope you enjoy it and don't get any vile stuff back. I really do enjoy your stuff so please keep it up and keep our fingers crossed for 3 weeks!

It’s my birthday, I’m having an existential crisis and Father’s Day is hard, but.. My party is GE night. The best gift you could give is a tactical vote to end the Tories. stopthetories.vote We need a Labour government. Right, time to work out, then eat an entire cake.

@SarahSobers3 @timecaptales @fasc1nate As is your namesake: Garfield St Aubin. both heroes of mine as a youngster.

@timecaptales @fasc1nate I just totally loved him for everything he did and everything he represented. I never tire of seeing footage of him. He was beautiful.

The last photo of Muhammad Ali, 2016 Born Cassius Clay, Ali is considered the most important athlete of the 20th century by many professionals and critics. Known as "The Greatest," Ali would use boxing as his platform to advocate for civil rights and humanitarian issues and as a form of self-expression. Despite being considered the best boxer of all time, Ali dealt with racism and discrimination his entire life. Here is a story about Ali that shows his dedication to his beliefs: Ali had won a gold medal at the 1960 Olympics boxing tournament at just 18 years old. He returned to his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, where he was referred to with slurs by local newspapers. Proud of his accomplishments, Ali went out one night to celebrate his victory while wearing his gold medal. Upon entering a diner, Ali was refused service. Enraged that the waitress would only recognize him for the color of his skin and not his character, Ali threw his medal into the Ohio River off a bridge. He did this as he felt that no matter what he achieved, he would never be judged for his character but for his physical features. Ali had an incredible career, with 56 wins (37 knockouts) and 5 losses. Towards the end of his career, Ali showed signs of Parkinson's disease, which caused him to retire. Ali was known for his unique boxing style, which consisted of movements such as the "Ali shuffle," which gave the impression that he was dancing. He was not credited as a heavy hitter, but he was known for his dodging and agile abilities, which allowed him to dodge attacks to tire out his opponents, allowing Ali to be more aggressive. Ali would go on to inspire millions of people around the world with his poetic commentary, wishful thinking, and generous attitude. Photographer: Zenon Texeira

@tonyblackburn Hi there, you don't know me but I distinctly remember listening to Flowers in the rain from under the bedclothes when I was 7 or 8 and being so excited - especially when that bl**dy dog barked! Sorry to hear you are unwell and just hoped to bring a smile. Happy days - ahead! :)

My great friend Noel Edmunds who now lives in New Zealand is keeping my spirits up by messaging me late at night then we talk complete nonsense and I love it. Last night we were talking about Cup Cakes and Long Iced Buns.

@downshep @au_tom_otive and you don't think this lot arent capable of utter madness!

@au_tom_otive Out of date already. Hunt will stay as chancellor. Sunak will be PM. Anyone else would be utter madness.

Mordaunt: PM Sunak: Chancellor Hunt: Home Sec Wallace: remain at MoD Shapps: back to Transport, where he was effective

@alreadytaken74 beaker ?

@IanDunt Me too, 48% outrage and 52% schadenfreude!

I alternate between laughter and outrage so quickly now that I'm capable of experiencing them both simultaneously.

@JaKaski @DavidLammy perspective?

@DavidLammy People and glasshouses...

Poor grammar, strange use of three decimal places and no apology for your party crashing the economy by proposing unfunded tax cuts for the rich. You can’t even manage a Twitter account.

@RichardJMurphy Thank you so much. so well put in so few characters. my own assessment in fewer characters would be blunter and require censoring.

Has Truss set out to fail in that case? It looks like it. I leave that problem to her to sort out.

Liz Truss put growth at the epicentre of her policy and political narratives yesterday. It is the dividing line around which she will seek to differentiate the world between those who are for her and those who are opposed, in her view, to what she stands for. A thread…

@ArundelBypass what an awful man. hopefully he'll get thrown out with the rest of the economic wreckers

"... the main advocate of a tax cut for the highest earners was Andrew Griffith". Observer 2.10.22. Griffithonomics of fake growth but real debt and suffering for (most) people & planet. Also spaffing £0.5Bn on the disastrous A27 Arundel Bypass Grey Route (contracts for donors).

@irmglobal Damn, cannot use Zoom on Company Laptop and download to personal lappy took too long. Hope meeting went well.
