@ZoeJardiniere Great work on the BBC just now, Zoe. Kudos.

My take on today's Supreme Court judgment on Rwanda Today is a victory, but it is not the slam dunk you may think. We won't defeat the government's cruelty in the courts, we have to defeat it in public opion - and there's every reason to believe we can. opendemocracy.net/en/zoe-gardner…

There seems a lot in common… - Born in the US - Right wing and ignores the status quo - Repeatedly ignored advice to reduce the spread of Covid-19 - Divisive and ridiculously nationalistic – Self centered - Refuses to go graciously when his people told him to leave #BorisJohnson

A reminder of just who he is

I can’t get a train (strikes), plane (Brexit) or use my car (petrol prices) tomorrow. Can I borrow your horse and cart please @Jacob_Rees_Mogg?

Hi Brighton 👋 theargus.co.uk/news/19409220.…

Johnson’s failure to close the borders to India as the deadly new variant emerged was not an anomaly. It’s been his pattern since the pandemic began, as our investigation shows.

Helena Kennedy is right. Human rights must come before trade. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@cindy67 @BorisJohnson Totally agree. Can someone please get the Prime Minister a mask that fits his nose and doesn’t make his mop fly? Not a big ask!

Stop touching your mask, @BorisJohnson !!!!
